Burrows Escaping the Honeytrap: Representations and Ramifications of the Female Spy on Television Since 1965 Summary My thesis interrogates the changing nature of the espionage genre on Western television since the middle of the Cold War. It uses close textual analysis to read the progressions and regressions in the portrayal of the female spy, analyzing where her representation aligns with the achievements of the feminist movement, where it aligns with popular political culture of the time, and what happens when the two factors diverge. I ask what the female spy represents across the decades and why her image is integral to understanding the portrayal of gender on television. I explore four pairs of television shows from various eras to demonstrate the importance of the female spy to the cultural landscape.

Fifty Years of Bond, James Bond: the Greatest Film Franchise’S Biggest Birthday | Vanity Fair
6/4/2017 Fifty Years of Bond, James Bond: The Greatest Film Franchise’s Biggest Birthday | Vanity Fair The Birth of Bond Fifty years ago, at the dawn of the commercial-jet age, James Bond strode into movie history, to show audiences how stylish and thrilling life could be. But creating the cinematic Bond was fraught with peril, as best-selling author Ian Fleming discovered when he first tried to take his hero to the screen. David Kamp recalls the unlikely team—two small-time producers, a journeyman director, and a “rough diamond” of a star—behind 007’s film debut, Dr. No, the beginning of a $5 billion franchise. BY DAVID KAMP | OCTOBER 2012 BOND. JAMES BOND. Right, Sean Connery on the set of Dr. No, 1962. Left, in the Alps during the filming of Goldfinger, 1964., left, from photofest, digital colorization by lorna clark; right, © 1962 Danjaq, L.L.C., and the United Artists Corporation, all rights reserved. nter Sean Connery, dark hair slicked with pomade, eyes locking hungrily upon a beautiful greeneyed girl. Her return glance leaves no doubt—the feeling is mutual. His slouch and casual banter exude languor and nonchalance, but there’s an undercurrent of coiled menace to this man, as though E he might, at any moment, spring into tableoverturning, crockeryshattering action. Except nothing of the sort happens. Instead, the other fellow in the scene cuts the tension by taking out his fiddle and favoring the room with a jaunty tune learned, he says in a stagy brogue, “in the old ruins on the top of Knocknasheega!” http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2012/10/fiftyyearsofjamesbond 1/14 6/4/2017 Fifty Years of Bond, James Bond: The Greatest Film Franchise’s Biggest Birthday | Vanity Fair This isn’t a James Bond picture.

You see, as a male, I looked like a music teacher—I thought as a woman, I’d look like a female music teacher. But I didn’t; I looked like a woman army officer . , and it was at this point that I started looking around for models.

How Far Does the Avengers Reflect the 'Pop' Aesthetic of the 1960S
Susan Landon The Avengers and the ‘Pop’ aesthetic of the 1960s The Avengers is iconic in the ‘pop’ aesthetic of the 60s. In this essay I will explore how much the Avengers reflected and contribued to that pop aesthetic. In the first part I will consider what the ‘Pop’ aesthetic of the 1960s actually is, and will move on to look at the influence of ‘The Avengers’ on that ‘Pop’ aesthetic. Since The Avengers spans two decades (from the sixties’ first series to the seventies’ New Avengers – and, technically, also the film made in 1998, which is, frankly, little more than revisionist nostalgia) the stylistic developments that take place over the years mean that not all of what we call The Avengers reflects the pop aesthetics of the 1960s. While this would in itself be an interesting topic for discussion, in this essay I will be focussing on episodes made in the sixties and their specific relationship to ‘Pop’ aesthetics. Finally, beyond simply reflecting pop culture and pop aesthetics, I will look at how far The Avengers of the sixties actually contributed to the creation of this pop aesthetic. If culture is both for and of its time, then programmes like The Avengers should be viewed as active agents and protagonists in creating the culture of their time and, ultimately, become ‘Pop’ in their own right.1 The Avengers was the first TV series to hire an ‘Exploitation Manager’ and have its own fashion line spin-off, creating both a new market (by fetishising the pop aesthetic), and marketing scheme (i.e.

The Avengers Forever: Pandora 12/26/14 11:40 AM Episode 156: Tara King Era Page 157 of 192 PANDORA Steed searches for a white rabbit Tara wakes up as someone else* Production completed: 17 January 1969 UK Premiere (London, Season 7): 30 April 1969 US Premiere (New York, Season 4): 10 March 1969 In the middle of an antique shop, Tara is grabbed and knocked out with chloroform. She awakens with a splitting headache in 1915, in a house full of people who call her Pandora. Seems a wealthy old man on his deathbed has agreed to reveal his hidden treasure to a pair of diabolical nephews who have brought the old man's dead bride back to life. IMHO If I see Tara grabbed and knocked out with chloroform one more time, I'll... I'll... Well, you might imagine that I am quite tired of this little device... Anyway, this one could have been better if they'd fixed almost everything. Greatest liability: one of Linda Thorson's worst performances (ironic, as it is her favorite episode). It also suffered from a lack of production creativity—Tara was drugged the whole time, but where were the fish-eye lens perspective shots? It did have a neat Night Gallery ending, as well as a cute little homage to Cathy and Emma, but it wasn't enough to earn it another bowler, I'm afraid.
