- Title
Steed as a drag queen and the asexual Number Six: Notes on cult tele-fantasy's queer roots.
- Authors
Haslop, Craig
- Abstract
The author reflects on the significance of non-normative gender and sexuality as part of the logics of the industrialised cult tele-fantasy that we recognise. Topics discussed include the British TV texts "The Avengers" and "The Prisoner" as two examples of cult tele-fantasy, common and interconnected narrative features of these texts, and cult tele-fantasy's queer learnings.
