Question 5
In the avengers it is set 20 years after the war and they show it by showing people still remember. Like in the pub there are model airplanes because the pub owner says he was a pilot in ww2 and the he also had a gun which people in the UK dont usually own. Also in the school there are still rations left over from the war. Also the show makes women more individual. For example Mrs peele wonders off to do her own things with out telling steed. Also she plays sports that women usually didn't in that time like fencing. But women are still not as equal because when they are fencing steed has to win and he hits her bum with the sword and that wouldn't be allowed now a days

ReplyDelete1. You draw attention correctly to the national social anxieties caused by the recent war 'the enemy within' and the sinister conspiracies.
2. You also notice that Emma Peel is represented as an intelligent career woman on equal terms with Steed.
3. You could have explained other issues: ethnic inequalities; assumption of heterosexuality; 60's generation gap between Peel and Steed; contested social values between 'swinging London and duty to Queen and country
