Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Mrs. Emma Peel first appeared in the TV show "The Avengers". Who was her partner?

Answer: John Steed

The character of Mrs. Peel first appeared in the fourth season and was paired with the unflappable and very British, John Steed. Maxwell Smart was from the show "Get Smart" and Napoleon Solo was a character from "The Man From U.N.C.L.E."

2. Diana Rigg made the character of Mrs Peel famous but who was initially cast as the alluring Mrs. Peel in the TV series, "The Avengers"?

Answer: Elizabeth Shepherd

Shepherd only lasted for two episodes and was replaced by Rigg. All of her scenes were re-shot and she never appeared on air. Blackmon played Mrs Gale before Peel arrived and Thorson played Tara King after she left. Feldon played Agent 99 in "Get Smart".

3. What was the first name of Emma Peel's husband?

Answer: Peter

Emma's husband is not a regular character in "The Avengers". We only know that before we meet Mrs Peel that his plane went down somewhere in South America and the test pilot, Peter, was lost and is presumed dead. Mrs Peel has not given up hope that he might be alive and so carries on as a married woman.

4. How did the writers of the 1965 TV show, "The Avengers", come up with the name Emma Peel?

Answer: It's a play on the words "man appeal".

The character, Emma Peel, was designed to be very appealing to men. This characteristic was expressed in the name. Leep amme is not French, it is gibberish. If MAPL has anything to do with computers, it was probably not invented yet in 1965. Finally, "The Avengers" was written for television, not adopted from a novel.

5. Which movie star played Emma Peel in the 1998 big screen version of "The Avengers"?

Answer: Uma Thurman

In 1998, Diana Rigg at 60 years old would have been too old, Jennifer Garner had yet to become a major star and Angelina Jolie had not yet entered the action movie genre.

6. How was Mrs. Peel usually notified of new assignments as a spy for British intelligence?

Answer: A note saying "Mrs. Peel, we're needed".

Mrs. Peel's "we're needed" notes came in a variety of clever forms, usually in a humorous way. It became a signature part of the opening of each episode.

7. Who was Emma Peel's father?

Answer: Sir John Knight

King John died in the thirteenth century, Peel is her married name not her maiden name, and Papa John is a US pizza company founder. Sir John was described as a noted industrialist.

8. What happens to Mrs Peel at the end of her role in "The Avengers" TV series?

Answer: Her husband returns and takes her away.

Mr. Peel, long thought dead, returns and drives her away in his Bentley convertible. We later learn that the marriage did not last and Emma calls in a future episode to reveal she has a new last name.

9. What article of clothing was made popular by Emma Peel's wardrobe?

Answer: A tight fitting one piece garment called an Emmapeeler,

The Emmapeeler is a form fitting "catsuit". The original was leather but synthetic fabrics are mostly used now. Many female action heroines wear this kind of outfit today, perhaps thanks to Mrs. Peel showing the way.

10. What kind of car did Mrs Peel drive?

Answer: Lotus convertible

Ever sporty and hip, Emma drove a snazzy lotus.
