MRS. PEEL, WE'RE NOTED
Sophie Deveraux and Alec Hardison needed cover aliases in order to get inside the locked-down Wakefield Corporation. So they assumed the guises of auditing consultants Emily Peel and Jonathan Steed.
This leads to the supposition that they knew of top professional John Steed and Emma Peel, talented amateur, who are known to us via the classic British spy series 'The Avengers'.
And within the reality of Toobworld, this could happen. Mrs. Peel has been out of the "Circus" life for over over forty years; Steed more than likely still keeps his hand in the game on a limited basis. But their exploits probably became known to the general public and eventually a movie was made about their spy careers. This would be the same badly-reviewed movie to be found in the real world, starring Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman.
A bad movie it may be, but it serves to nullify any Zonks when 'The Avengers' get cited on other TV shows.
BCnU!
