Town of No Return Avengers

The Todorov's narrative theory:Tzvetan Todorov's narrative theory suggests that all narratives follow a three part structure where they begin with equilibrium, where everything is balanced, progress as something comes along to disrupt that equilibrium, and finally reach a resolution, when equilibrium is restored.

Equilibrium- Mr Steed and Mrs Peele and flirting in her apartment, then he asks her to join him on a secret mission
Disruption- The man that they went to the town with gets killed, they realise that theres a lot of people missing from the town, Peele captured then saved by Steele, they go underground and take out the bad guys
Resolution-  They take out the invasion mission and save the UK
New Equilibrium-  They get on Peele's scooter and ride off

The characters: 

• Patrick Macnee as John Steed (Series 1-6)

Steed was very posh and his weapons consisted of an umbrella and a bowler hat that was partially made of metal. Steed is in his 40s. He appeals to the older female part of the audience because he is a very stereotypical 1960s man.

• Diana Rigg as Emma Peel (Series 4-5)

She was a master of martial arts and often helped Steed when he was in need, she was sexualised a lot throughout the series. Peele is in her 20s. Peele appeals to the younger male part of the audience because she is attractive and young.

Links to social and cultural context(the mid 60s):
The episode demonstrated typical attitudes towards the female gender by overly sexualising Peele, however you do see Peele defeat a man in the episode which would have been unusual.
