The TV show tackles the feminism problem of that era, with the partner always being female. The cast had big stars like Honor Blackman and Diana Rigg.
The ratings on IMDb was a strong 8.4 and many reviews said that the show was full of action and intrigue.

Well presented with the illustration: I like your style.
You need to write more, though, and what you write should be made up of an analytical comment then supporting evidence, such as: "The female lead shows that the 1960s marked the start of feminism, with women taking active, strong roles on equal term with the men. Diana Rigg fights and wins."
