Today I received this book and almost immediately deepened in the study. :P Noticed an interesting thing - now Cyd mentions that the The Fear Merchants was the first Avengers episode she appeared in, and not From Venus With Love as in the interview published in the Dave Rogers' fanzine (see the The Perils of Cyd article, page 7, by link below).

...asked Cyd if she could remember the first Avengers episode she appeared in? "From Venus With Love, I think. It was a very strange beginning...

Not surprisingly, so many years have passed, it is already difficult to remember the events in the correct order, not to mention some names.
I wonder why Cyd doesn't mention another regular (Annabelle Heath) as a stunt double for Diana Rigg in color episodes, but always only Diane Enright? :? Maybe they rarely crossed paths?

Really pleased to see that Christine has got her book published (I am aware that this happened some time ago) after all the help she gave me with Bowler Hats and Kinky Boots. Four years ago she joined us on the Treasure Hunt event, even going as far to go along on the actual location tour. An absolutely wonderful person and joy to be with.

Perhaps it's all to do with how you interpret "appeared in" - From Venus with Love was broadcast first, but The Fear Merchants was made earlier, so maybe she's now thinking about the order of filming rather than when the public saw it.
