1. Summary
Do you know this famous series with John Steed and Emma
Peel which appeared on television in the 1960s? Yes, the
series is nearly fifty years old and people still love
watching it! It may come from the fact that it was in
advance of its time, and the actors acted so well. Remember
John Steed, the secret
agent at Her Majesty’s service, always wearing
a bowler hat and
carrying an umbrella? He
looked so British! And Cathy Gale, Emma Peel, Tara King or Purdey, his
faithful companions who could do everything: they could

the series is called: Chapeau
melon et... bottes de cuir.
