Re: Swinging London and The Avengers
Time for me to re-watch an episode, or two, of Danger Man I think. I remember Honor Blackman was so good as a blind lady in one.

Re: Swinging London and The Avengers
I think you're combining Colonel Rodriguez with Josetta, starring Julia Arnall as the blind woman, both deal with corruption in unnamed Central or South American countries.
Mrs Peel, you're needed!

Yes, the one was pretty much a blatant remake of the other.

Re: Swinging London and The Avengers
Of interest perhaps - there was apparently an Avengers burlesque night for an event 9 years ago called Mrs. Peel's in London, tying the Avengers to the Swinging Sixties:

This is the video used to promote the event:The Swinging Sixties Penthouse Party of your dreams
Let 1960s icon Emma Peel guide you into the hedonism of Swinging London, when Britain led the world in fashion, art, music and fun, when the rich and stylish jetted to beach resorts, drove sportscars over Swiss mountains and sailed yachts into St Tropez.
No one sums up the verve of the era more than Mrs Emma Peel, the catsuited, karate-chopping amateur agent played by Diana Rigg in TV series 'The Avengers', foiling plots by eccentric villains in country houses, on giant chess boards and in secret laboratories, while trading flirtatious quips with her partner, the bowler-hatted gentleman spy John Steed.

If every night out was a 1960s night out, I'd go out at night! I was born too late.
