Pity there weren't other British '60s icons in the show as guest stars or cameos - Paul McCartney, Twiggy, Kenneth Williams, Joe Orton, Terence Stamp, David Bailey....Timeless A-Peel wrote:They could've done a double crossover--you know, Roger as Simon in an Avengers ep, and then Patrick and maybe even Linda could return the favour in a Saint story. It'd be fun to see how Steed dealt with the competition.Dandy Forsdyke wrote:Rights be hanged! What a great idea. And Patrick could have repaid the idea in the Saint....Timeless A-Peel wrote: Roger was always onset. There are several pictures of him with Linda and Patrick on the set of different episodes. He was quite the practical joker, I believe--hiding in cupboards, and coming through the door during one of Linda's scenes (as mentioned). I wonder why they never had him do a cameo? Although I suppose the rights issues would've gotten in the way.![]()
And if Steed and Simon knew each other from way back, it'd explain that "Mrs. Peel" reference in one of the episodes!
I have too many ideas.
Any other screen icons you'd like to see in The Avengers?
