The Avengers is a British television series created in the 1960s. It initially focused on Dr. David Keel and his assistant John Steed.

His most famous assistants were intelligent, stylish and assertive women: Cathy Gale, Emma Peel and Tara King. Later episodes increasingly incorporated elements of science fiction and fantasy, parody and British eccentricity.
