Britishness in the advengers

How was Britishness represented in  season 4 episode 1?
 Costume was explored in britishness mainly because of the male character John Steed, he wore a bowler hat, a suit and carried a umbrella.You cant get more British than that!
The settings also explore the Britishness culture by setting one of the scenes in London also its not a poor part of London and its stereotypical old fashioned London. This also fits the stereotypical theory of the rich people in London being posh! Those houses today probably are not even owned buy people now because they are so expensive and that there is not many of those houses left in London at least not many left from the 1960s!   The fashion sense of the characters mainly John Steed he is compared and fitting the stereotype of a gentlemen spy like James Bond by wearing the suit. The stereotype of Britain being military based fits this stereotype because in season 4 episode 1 they do some things that it war based. For the props Steed has a bowler hat and a umbrella and they have a tea set on the train when they are travelling. They talk in a very over polite way. They both fit in the stereotypical way, they both arent overly interesting. Their dialogue is very intellectual,  they speak very posh.
