Yes, I came across this post by accident. Despite that and the passage of time since you wrote it, I thought I would comment on “Less memorable to me were her [Emma Peel’s (Diana Rigg, 1938-2020)] predecessor as Steed’s partner, Cathy Gale (Honor Blackman [, 1925-2020]) and successor Tara King (Linda Thorson [,1947 -]).” In the 1960s, I would have agreed with you. In the 2020s I am much more appreciative of Linda Thorson. As a Canadian-Norwegian, I suspect this involves an evolving cultural prejudice, in my opinions. In addition, I have increasingly appreciating Honey West (Anne Francis, 1930-2011) from the mid 1960s, and Ingrid Bolsø Berdal (1980 -), more recently.
