Steed and Peel - friends or lovers?


Were Steed and Emma friends or lovers? I can't tell from the few episodes I've seen. Also, why did they call her Mrs. Peel? She didn't seem to have a husband anywhere.

By the way, I think her style of martial arts was Kung Fu. Although, she could really throw a classic right cross...

Diana Rigg, definitely one of the prettiest actresses ever!

There was a reason her character was called MRS. Peel, and not MISS Peel.
Friends.

Thank you!

It’s amazing the lengths that people who have no lives or social skills will go to try to fuck up a great series with sheer trivia.

Sadly, no longer amazing enough, though.

Want some trivia ... she was called Emma Peel, M. Appeal, for her
male appeal. That was the purpose of her character. It worked for
me, I thought she was the sexiest thing on TV as a kid.
