February 5, 200917 yr It was here that she met a young English academic named John Peel. Hats off, of course, and a curious trivia question, is that the inspiration of the name Emma Peel as ace of spies and covert agents ? A fast comprobation and not: For the fourth season, the last to be filmed in black and white, a new female partner appeared in October 1965: Mrs. Emma Peel (Diana Rigg). The name of the character derived from a comment by writers, during development, that they wanted a character with "man appeal". In an early attempt to incorporate this concept into the character's name, she was called "Samantha Peel", shortened to the awkward "Mantha Peel".[2] Eventually the writers began referring to the idea by the verbal shorthand, "M. Appeal" and thus the character's name of "Emma Peel" was born. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Avengers_...28Diana_Rigg.29 One time more, life imitates art far more than art imitates Life
