Its fun! (give it a chance)

I must say that I have Just watched "The girl from uncle" for the first time and i don't agree with all the bad reviews it gets at all. OK April Dancer (stefanie powers) the leading character could be tougher especially considering her TV rivals at the time like the marvellous Emma peel from "the Avengers" but there's barely an episode I've watched where she doesn't knock an assailant out or high volt a fence or blow something up with a hidden uncle gadget.OK she often uses a gas spray rather than karate but she does use that too. the stories are daft as anything but executed with tongue in cheek and for fun and no dafter than "The avengers" stories or "the champions" but thats half the point! they're fun!. Its not meant to be serious!. Her English partner Mark Slate (who must be the first gay agent ever i think on TV! joke) makes the whole thing camp as Christmas and the villains are straight from pantomime. It might just be me, but some of the dialogue is funny too...and paul o'grady (lilly savage) is a fan too!. what more can I say, besides which Yvonne de Carlo (Lilly munster)is a villain in one episode and who can resist anything where Boris Karloff appears in drag (!) as "mother muffin"...irresistible madness.(but it is a bit sexist at times..hey ho cant win "em all)
