"I don't want to be a mousepad!" Wonderful. She looks so young and bouncing with enthusiasm when answering the Game of Thrones questions, I don't think I've seen her so expressively happy about a role for ages. Why did she do the interview? Her friendship with Mark Gatiss, or mellowing?Dandy Forsdyke wrote:Here's the full 6 minute interview.

I don't know if they're friends, but it would be a good enough reason. I think mid-season Dr Who, the press/media are a bit saturated with the regular stars, so to have a name like Dame Diana's pop up really helps get the PR up to full speed again. I'm sure the BBC pushed her into promoting the episode.Frankymole wrote:"I don't want to be a mousepad!" Wonderful.

The Guardian gently laying into Diana Rigg laying into women (and a little mention of Joanna Lumley and Mary Berry too).

The first Smith series was good but the last two poor (apart from the Neil Gaiman/Suranne Jones episode).'The Crimson Horror was certainly the best of this series and Mark Gatiss best script. Diana looked like she was enjoying herself spitting out lines of pure malice to the daughter she deliberately blinded, "Kindly do not claw and slobber at my crinoline!”, I couldn't help thinking of 'Brass' and some of it's blackest comedy moments. Just as good was Rachael with a moving performance as poor Ada.cyberrich wrote:I haven't enjoyed the last couple of series of Dr Who as much if I'm honest. The scripts are my problem, which IMHO aren't as exciting or as involving as the Tennant era. I did however, enjoy this week's, especially as Diana and Rachel were so wonderful in their respective roles. Rich.

A 1966 interview with Diana from the Toronto Star, when she was in town to promote the show on CTV.
"She is sometimes tempted to advise [fans] to buy Blackman's book on self-defence."

From what I've seen of it, it certainly is. I love the idea of one Avengers woman promoting another's book.Frankymole wrote:They could do a lot worse, it's a great book!Timeless A-Peel wrote:"She is sometimes tempted to advise [fans] to buy Blackman's book on self-defence."
