Talk:Emma Peel

Untitled

In Who's Who, Steed and Peel kiss several times... well, their bodies do while being inhabited by (German?) spies. Should this be mentioned as a sort of technical exception to the "they never kiss" thing? JDoorjam Talk 04:38, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like your chance to be bold and add information to the article!

Should mention be made of the Dishwalla song "Miss Emma Peel" as a pop culture reference? 67.52.197.226 19:11, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Emma's guise as a magazine reporter seems to be repeated by Cate Archer in No One Lives Forever. It would seem the similarities between both characters are more than coincidental. I believe mention of this be made in the pop culture section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.1.74.228 (talk) 05:46, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Diadem/The Mini-Killers

I just added some information regarding the two unofficial short films Diana Rigg shot as Emma Peel in the late 1960s. For whatever reason someone has "my number" and as such I'm finding some of my edits being automatically reverted (oh the joys of being an anonymous IP!). So if there happens to be no reference to these two films remaining in the article, someone with "rights" is welcome to reinstate the information. The more notable link of the two I posted is that for Shock Cinema Magazine, an internationally distributed publication: http://www.shockcinemamagazine.com/diadem.html . If further verification is needed, clips from the Mini-Killers film can be found on YouTube but I didn't add those to the article for copyvio reasons. 68.146.81.123 (talk) 12:16, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Emma Peel inspires Sports Goods designer.

In this section of the article References in popular culture
the sub section Products was removed.
This is the removing edit:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Emma_Peel&diff=next&oldid=612202236

For those Wikipedia readers who, as a matter of course, and you are not ALL Wikipedia readers, click the "Talk" page of an article to read further details, what has been removed might remain of interest:

Products
In the 1990's, Lib-Tech Snowboards released a model called "the Emma P." Says Nick Russian, who conceptualized this board board back in 1992, "I was watching reruns of the show The Avengers, and thought Emma Peel was this super rad character, and that helped influence the name of the board." In December 2012 design and materials were optimized.

Well, that's one of the removing edits. Here are two more: [1], [2]. You appear to be the only editor interested in including this. There's no coverage in third-party publications, just the board manufacturer itself discussing its own product. What's your basis for including it? TJRC (talk) 22:35, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

The section is References in popular culture
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Peel#References_in_popular_culture
If sporting goods are not a contribution to Popular Culture then close down Wembley and Wimbledon and Lords!

re the snowboard : In 1985, James Bond popularized snowboarding in the movie A View to a Kill.
For a designer of one in 1992 a choice of "Emma P." for a snowboard was not too far a jump of popular relativity.
The quotation from the designer is on the web page referenced.
Your question re a basis for inclusion I hope is answered if not given the James Bond treatment !
And Emma Peel would be throwing a snowball at you if you did not know that Diana Rigg made one James Bond picture.

It's still all rather remote though isn't it? All it amounts to is that somebody named a product after a recognisable fictional name. Unlike some the songs etc mentioned in the article, it's not even a creative work. Anyone can name anything after anyone as far as I can see. Was the snowboard in the shape of Diana Rigg? There is far too much of this piffle generally in the article, even allowing for the fact that she is a fictional character. Philafrenzy (talk) 23:18, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Even more so, there's nothing really noteworthy about this. It's not covered in any news sources or books, or in any scholarly articles. It's just a statement from the board's own manufacturer. I realize article content is not subject to the same level of notability as the article subject itself, but this seems pretty tangential to Emma Peel, the subject of the article.

Some dates would be welcome

The dates provided are very vague: "the 1960s", or omitted completely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.20.2.198 (talk) 06:18, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
