In the scene in "You Have Just Been Murdered" with Mrs. Peel in the pond, if you watch it on DVD when she walks the henchman down the road you can see the wheels of the camera dolly in the corner of the frame. This probably isn't really a blooper, because the entire image would not have be...

Ms. Bron has certainly given some great performances over the years. A tiny part in the first "Alfie," "Women in Love" (She gives Alan Bates a good smack), and "A Little Princess" among them. In an alternate universe, she might have been the defining Emma Peel. But that...

I've been watching "Life" pretty religiously. Damien Lewis is off-center enough in this series that he could have been an Avengers villian.
