When the series began, Ian Hendry was the main star, with the idea being he would rotate between different partners (an early version of the Missione impossibile (1966) format). The series title referred to Hendry's character, Dr. David Keel, and Steed, who worked together to find those responsible for Keel's fiancée's murder in the first episode. Early episodes focused more on Keel's character, and Steed doesn't even appear in a couple. When the first season was interrupted by a strike, Hendry quit the series during the hiatus in order to pursue a movie career. The same format was used for Steed with a couple of leftover Dr. Keel scripts retooled for a new character named Dr. Martin King, but other scripts, originally written for a male character, were re-written for another new addition: Catherine Gale.
