Why Purdey will always be the ultimate Avengers girl

Purdey. Mmmmm...

Motivated by Joanna Lumley's recent appearance on the Kumars at No. 42 show, visions of the lovely Purdey in The New Avengers overwhelmed me. She was ultra feminine, she could karate kick Cybernauts, she wore exquisite designer clothes, she could scale tall buildings in stockings, she created the "Purdey bob" phenomenon in the UK, she could outrun any man whilst wearing kick-ass stillettos, she was strong, she drove the coolest of sports cars, she was sarcastic, she was sexy, she was naughty, she was divine. And she was beautiful. No wonder so many little boys wanted to be her, I mean meet her. She'll always be my number one Avengers girl. Sorry Emma.

And clearly, the wondrous Lumley also has a wicked sense of humour, as shown by her turn in Absolutely Fabulous as Eurydice Colette Clytemnestra Dido Bathsheba Rabelais Patricia 'Patsy' Cocteau Stone.
