At some points, for some stupid reason, they stuck Purdey in a bad wig! Even Benny Hill had better wigs! The Lion and the Unicorn is a fast paced romp, that show the excellent team work between Lumley and Hunt. But Emily is the episode that really steals the shows. Quite different from most of the New Avengers, this one is play tongue completely through cheek comedy. Emily is a car and the villain accidentally leaves his hand print on the top of an elderly lady car. They can catch the bad guy if they get the car to HQ with the handprint intact Only bad guy is out to stop them. Again, Hunt and Lumley's team works so well for this episode that is a howl.

I great addition to the Avengers library, though they were starting to show the lack of originality in several episodes. Same because they team of Macnee, Lumley and Hunt were really hitting their stride as a team.
