 How to be Like John Steed.

 Lane's Page on The Avengers
We're never told exactly who John Steed is. Beyond the fact that he was educated at Eton and served in the Army, nothing is really explained about his background.
And, as the more obvious romantic element between Steed and Tara took some of the mystery away from that relationship, so also I think the program lost something when Steed's new partner was no longer a talented amateur who might have some personal agenda in choosing to work with John Steed.
There are, though, as many opinions about John Steed and his partners as there are loyal viewers who have followed the show for years, or discovered it during its early 90's run on the Arts & Entertainment Network, or more recently in Britain, on Channel 4.
