The Avengers International Fan Forum

That Pussy Galore doll looks more like Gayle Hunnicutt to me.

Kismet's appearance in that documentary broke my heart a little. They must have been so in love.

It was rubbish, but I quite enjoyed it!

It would have made more sense for the Avenger girls to swop roles, Joanna to play the role of the common wife, and Diana as the eccentric in the pub.

Which begs the question... How do we do it again?

It would seem that it would need to be a period piece or else it just wouldn't work... Opinions?

Period piece....yes! It would have to be set in the 1960s. Then there's the problem of casting. Is...

It doesn't surprise me- It's on the top of my list of favorite names. I actually had a dog named Emma.

Thank you Ray for the history of the studio system. I'm sorry to see them slowly fade away. Is it really impossible for a studio to compete and be cost-effective and stay in business? Or is it that they choose not to be? Sadly they choose to be that...

That whole interview is a marvellous read!! Thank you for sharing it!

ditoo here...always enjoyed soaking up new info and more--on the show and it's histories etc

Yes indeed here is the link:

To keep discussion centralized, this topic will be locked.

Liked him in TV shows/plays like Beasts and The Flip Side of Dominick Hide . I always mixed him up with Benny Hill's sidekick (Henry Magee?), not with 'our' Patrick, though one customer in the Prisoner Shop in Portmeirion reportedly saw a big...

Awww... so sad. I didn't know about this - only just learned of his passing browsing through this forum. He was excellent in The Sweeney. I don't think there are many of my childhood TV heroes left. But it's where we're all going, like it or not....

I read that Diana Rigg was considered to play the role of Dr. Elizabeth Corday´s (Alex Kingston) mother, in E.R.

So was Jeanne Moreau but she turned it down.

However, Judy Parfitt ,a four time guest star at The Avengers, played this role....

And of course Joanna Lumley was one of Blofeld's girls that Bond chatted up in OHMSS...

sorta amazing that Joanna was in that film...

Well then I'm lucky, because I got a signed picture of her last year, for free! :D

I bet it wasn't dedicated to you personally though. I think there are bulk standard presigned 7x5 that most celebs secrataries now send out by request. I know when...

Oh, without a doubt. Proven by the 1998 Avengers movie and interest by ITV in recent times to produce a special featuring Steed and Emma Peel.

Well, I got curious as well about this notorious Dame Rap and tried to look it up online but alas all I found so far was this review of the event by a fan:

Marvelous! THanks McSteed!

Thank you very much! I'd never heard of this before!

Incorrectly credited as 'Ronald', I noticed.

60 is the new 40 :)

Speed limit? :P

Yes that too :lol:

I bought it a few weeks ago, and I'm so glad I did. The music, the voices and the poetry together is magic: I'd really recommend getting this to anyone interested in either any of the three.

So sorry to hear the sad news. May he rest in peace. :cry:

I've read the next set should be even better quality as they have better source material to work with.

Better quality of sound, better quality of image, okay, but what about the content? You buy the Emma Peel boxsets and tell me after if the...

It's great to be here and to see you around! What can I say...I'm hooked on anything Avengers! :wink:
