I dunno, but I get to take on the winner. ---

In a fight? I’d have to side with Emma Peel. But when it comes to looks, I’d vote for Wilma Deering. _drool_ 😉 ---

Oh, Emma Peel would win, no doubt about it. She’s got all those martial arts moves … she’d sort of wrestle Deering to the ground, and then … … … \*:: Steve sits at his desk with a strange faraway look in his eyes, as if he’s dwelling on some private vision :: ---

I’ve always had a soft spot for the mountainous talents of the unsung Linda Thorson / Tara King (daughter of heroic and legendary Jason, one speculates…. ?). Always overshadowed by the sensational Ms Rigg but with undeniable talents, both of ‘em. Taking over from Rigg was always going to be a poisoned chalice … _wonderful talents_ … ---

Hey, did anybody but me recognize Linda Thorson as the Cardassian commander in the STNG episode where they discovered the genetic coding of a message from the race that seeded the galaxy with humanoids? She’s still pretty hot, even as a Cardassian… ---

Okay… Wilma Deering is not even CLOSE to being in the same league as Emma Peel. Wilma isn’t even worthy to carry one of Mrs. Peel’s cups. ---

Ya know, I saw Erin Gray at a convention just the other day, and she looks _exactly the same as when she did the show._ Kind of creepy, actually. Not that I’m complaining, of course… ---

IMLO (In My Lecherous Opinion), the match should end in a draw, with little damage except to various pieces of clothing. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Terrifel \* > Ya know, I saw Erin Gray at a convention just the other day, and she looks _exactly the same as when she did the show._ You should’ve asked her if she had any relatives named “Dorian”. 😃 ---

Mrs. Peel wins over Deering. But how about this? Mrs. Peel vs. Leela? Who’d win that round? ---

Col Deering wore several outfits, most “hot” & tight. Mrs Peel basicly had the one- which was IMHO better than any single Deering outfit. But the lovely Col. was in colour, and Mrs. Peel never wore the black leather outfit in a colour episode. So, due to the BBC chickening out, I am afraid Buck’s babe get the nod. However, i’d happily spend a few hour pouring over the entries again, just to be sure I am right. 😉 ---

egad…you can’t be serious. Mrs. Peel, rule Brittannia, tea at 4 all things being equal… the divine Mrs. Peel has style and wit that even today is tres sexy Col Deering is just too So-Cal pornstar to even match that. (not that that’s a bad thing…) I’m afraid if I try to get my wife into a ‘flip’ wig and a catsuit one more time she will divorce my sorry ass [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/colonel-deering-vs-mrs-peel/164489.md?page=2)
