Mike Gambit

Mike Gambit (or Michael Gambit) was a character in the British TV series The New Avengers. Played by actor Gareth Hunt, Gambit was a secret agent and former Major in the Parachute Regiment and had a short-lived career as a race car driver. Gambit was somewhat of a mystery, his past never being too thoroughly dealt with. He lived in an apartment with a Modern architecture design style. He was romantically interested in Purdey, often flirting with her during their work together. Gambit was Steed's first male partner since Drs. David Keel and Martin King in the original The Avengers nearly 15 years earlier.
