Cast
John Steed
John Steed, played by Patrick McNee, has always been a bit of a contradiction.
The ultimate in tailored sophistication while at the same time being a tough
fighter when his career as a spy requires it. The perfect English Gentleman,
yet always working with the most liberated of female colleagues without
discrimination or dissent.
Purdey
Purdey, played by Joanna Lumley, is the latest in a series of strong, tough
yet beautiful female spies to be teamed up with John Steed.
An expert in martial arts, Purdey often uses her feminine charms to off
balance an opponent prior to a devastating attack.
Mike Gambit
Mike Gambit, played by Gareth Hunt, is a younger man teamed up with John
Steed and Purdey to increase their fighting strength as a team.
An excellent fighter, he always longs to break down Purdey's defenses and
to capture some of John Steed's sartorial elegance: he never quite
succeeds at either.
