Me as well. I might see one with Christopher Lee (The Interrogators).

...the only interpretation worth having. Like Christopher Lee, a legend who one imagined was immortal and who - thanks to the moving image - in one sense is.

Although my interest in the Avengers ceased many years ago, I was shocked and upset today to hear this very, very sad news.

I was just talking to Sunday Swift who has written so much about Patrick Macnee's performances and she commented:
"Steed is immortal, even if his creator is not."
The perfect epitaph.

It's with much sadness that I log on to this site to see what might be happening with dvd/blu-ray releases in the U.S., only to learn of Patrick's death. He was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word, always kind to his co-stars and gracious to his fans. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. The world feels a little emptier this afternoon.
I'll also be watching an Avengers episode this evening.
RIP.

A very sad day indeed but as people said on here we all new it was going to happen but still very sad. Patrick a gentleman on and off screen and so much more than The Avengers a great body of work. Rest in peace Patrick my hero and my John Steed. The Avengers will never be the same again for me more of a celberation of Patrick great work on the show then entertainment. My heart goes out to all of Patrick family and friends on this very sad time.

Twitter Tribute from Sir Roger Moore:
"So very sad to hear Pat MacNee has left us. We were mates from 1950s and I have so many happy memories of working with him. A true gent."
