Yes, thanks for sharing. That is an interesting script... poor Dr Keel!
I wonder what the background to this is and who wrote it. Given that mobile phones are mentioned it must have been written relatively recently - well within the last 20 years!
Edit: Found the background:

How fascinating! I actually really enjoyed this. It felt very true to the show, especially the first half, and it does a nice job of retconning things to create its own take on the Avengers universe (Rhonda and Keel's backstories, the death of Mr.Gale). My biggest issue with it is the future setting--I just can't reconcile Avengerland with constant references to Twitter and iPhones (and really, Cathy never strikes me as one to be into social networking. If you're going to pick someone to take on those sorts of things, Emma or Tara would be much more suitable characters. Mercifully, he's made Steed as unimpressed with it all as he would be). Some of Cathy's dialogue jars a bit, too--she talks a little too casually, and she's a bit too flippant. But all in all, it's an enjoyable take--I've certainly read worse--and I liked it. Great that someone decided to use the Keel/Gale era as a setting this time, as opposed to the Emma seasons. Thanks for posting this! 
(But please, not Dominic West and Keeley Hawes for the leads.)

This picture is part of a new photo story The (im)perfect weekend with John Steed and Emma Peel, who would like to spent a lazy weekend in Steed's cottage in the South of England, but...

Arf!able shots of Steed with shirt undone and stricken look on his face. Not sure what else happened in the story, but I do remember that!
Nice, Ischtar!

I wish Honor Blackman had done such scenes...

And you did all the work, didn't you?
I love the story.
So sad, that Steed woke up at the most interesting moment.
Just wonder how the dream could have went on...

It' so well written and very in character.
Sadly, it's so short...
