Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere but I was wondering if there was an audio/comic strip or anything which tells how Steed and Mrs Peel met. If memory serves me right, when Peel first appears in The Town of No Return it is implied they have known and worked with each other for sometime.
Just curious if there was ever an established first encounter.
Thanks for any help.

As far as I know nothing has been 'officially' established how they first met.
'Unofficially'...the most popular unwritten suggestion is that at some point prior to working together Steed was *ahem* "hanging his bowler hat on Emma's bedpost" (I'd assume this was prior to her marrying Peter Peel - Steed is a gentleman after all!) and that the relationship had come to a natural and amicable end a long time before "The Town of No Return".
Granted, it is pure fan theory. But based on what was being implied in the writing - the intimate closeness and somewhat playful, flirtatious nature of the relationship between the two (helped of course by the sheer chemistry between Macnee and Rigg) and also by comments from both the actors and Brian Clemens in the years after the show - it is a theory I'm pretty comfortable in going along with. 😊

Thanks for that, much appreciated. Even if there is nothing official at least there is a logical theory to go with. Part of me would Big Finish to do that story just to fill in the blanks.
