The arrival of color in the fifth season has been used optimally. In the title sequence, the primary colors are prominent. The bright hues of Emma's jumpsuits showed through, as did her auburn hair and blue Lotus Elan. John Steed's Bentley is mostly green. A second innovation was the double tagline following the pattern “Steed does this, Emma does that” - always with a play on words. After that, the phrase “Mrs Peel, we're needed” appears in an original way.

Each episode they have to uncover a mystery. There is often science fiction in it: time travel, an invisible man. Some ideas are taken from HG Wells or Agatha Christie. The villain can be an insane professor, or an eccentric with bizarre traits, such as slurping milk like a cat. Sometimes it gets really bizarre.

Steed and Peel solve all these issues together without losing their coolness or elegance. He uses gadgets in his bowler hat or umbrella; she knows oriental fighting techniques. During a murder scene, sometimes only the terrified victim appears. Light intermezzos are given a visual touch by having Peel en Steed painted or wallpapered. They may work for an industry of MI5, though it's never explicitly stated. They end the favorable outcome with a glass of champagne.

Many future stars have guest stars: Donald Sutherland, Ronnie Barker, Ron Moody, Brian Blessed, Charlotte Rampling. Horror stars Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing also make their appearance. Laurie Johnson's music sounds like the series: exciting and elegant at the same time.

Favorite Episodes: 2, 6, 7, 14, 24.
