I thought it'd be fun to start a thread for trivia questions to test each other's Avengers knowledge. No prizes--just the satisfaction of knowing the answer (and it can distract you from things you should be doing that sadly have very little to do with John Steed).
I'll start us off, but everyone's welcome to chip in and add a question of their own. Just make sure you quote the question in your answers. Otherwise it could get confusing.
Here we go:
While Patrick Macnee is the quintessential Steed, by no means is he the only actor to take on the role. Who are the five other actors who have played Steed?
There's a bit of a trick to this one, and I'd like to see if anyone gets it. Good luck!

Oh, you got Freddie! I wondered if anyone would remember him.Alan wrote:Donald Monat (Radio Series), Simon Oates (Stage Play), Ralph Fiennes (Movie), Freddie Jones (Who's Who?)...
Can't think who the fifth is, though...
There are lots of other answers, obviously, if you count stuntmen and body doubles and such, although they're not "actors" in the strictest sense. And if we count spoofs, we have to add Joanna Lumley on The Friday Night Project.
But who's number 5? Give up?
I was thinking of actor Maurice Kaufmann, Honor's husband, who used play Steed's part so Honor could learn her lines. (I did say there was a trick. I know, it's playing dirty).

Anyone want to make up the next one?
That was very tricky and I, for one would have never, ever got that one!Timeless A-Peel wrote:Oh, you got Freddie! I wondered if anyone would remember him.Alan wrote:Donald Monat (Radio Series), Simon Oates (Stage Play), Ralph Fiennes (Movie), Freddie Jones (Who's Who?)...
