the Avengers episode where Emma Peel is strapped...



...to a board (like a see-saw) next to a pond, and they dunk her head in - what's the name of that episode?

It's Murdersville :)

Episode is "Murdersville"...last season for Rigg.

Amazing how many episodes are remembered more by the peril/torture of Emma peel, than the actual plot. This show was one for the fetishist

As one of the show's producers said in an interview (I'm quoting as well as I can remember here), "Oh, I think subliminally it was QUITE kinky. It was the sort of program you could show to your maiden aunt, but if you had a really dirty mind, you could see we were dealing with fetishes and all sorts of strange things."

YESSSS!!!

This is my first visit to the boards in quite a long time, and obviously your question has already been answered. But given my 'nick' I just couldn't resist confirming that it was indeed my favorite episode "Murdersville".

I first saw "Murdersville" when it originally aired in England, when I was in the US Army stationed at Upper Heyford (near Bicester in the Midlands). If I'm not mistaken it aired on ITV.

I seem to recall viewing an interview with Diana Rigg included in the 'Extras' and she indicated she was always wearing tight clothing, sexy boots and was strapped to a table a great deal! Which, she was...Such a great show!
