The Avengers

  • The series "The Avengers"  had it's first episode on the 7th of January 1961. The show then lasted a total 8 years on the air.
  • This was the beginning of feminism and the start of how things may be for us nowadays but at the time this was unusual.
  • It is a very tongue and cheek sort of comedy
  • It received good reviews at the time and still today gets good reviews.
  • The cast was very good including very well known actors and actresses,it included Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg.
  • The actual technology back then wasn't as advanced so as we look at it today it really doesn't look realistic. however, at the time it was the best of the best. Image result for the avengers series

    In order to answer the task set, you needed to be more specific on on the social, cultural and historical context. You made a start with your reference to feminism, But should explain in what ways Diana Rigg's character seems equal to men
