Where did you find that? Amazing - the most "Avengers" Emma picture I've ever seen. I love the wintry bleakness and the "institutional" fences (I miss Ian Duerden and his shared experiences of deserted, sinister, modern Avengerland).

By the way, the back cover of the box set mentions that there is an interview which was filmed recently.

I wonder if it is the BBC4 one?

It was when I was browsing for news of the forthcoming 'Mighty Avengers' movie

Scarlett Johansson playing a kind of Russian 'Emma Peel-y' Black Widow in the first pic, it seems.

Well, Diana gives details about what is featured on the discs, only. I conclude then it isn't what was recently shown on tv in England.
Apart from that, have you noticed how beautiful the actress remained ? She's got another hair color, it isn't that grey/blonde anymore.

Thanks Brynmill, for the link!

I bought this boxset and have been wearing out the DVDs daily- they are very enjoyable to watch.

Thanks Brynmill!
I didn't know, that there is a DVD box about Diana Rigg.
Well, I think about to get one...

Does anybody know, if Diana Rigg is already acting at the theatre or in general? I'd like to see her in a play, ... too, if I come to London.

Sincerely yours,

Just saw a clip from Mrs Bradley Mysteries - can't believe the OTT makeup on Diana. Looks ridiculous.

brynmill, I think you'll find the makeup, hair and clothing is historically correct. Don't be so dismissive.

Maybe, but it looks very strange. Too authentic perhaps. The likes of Edward the Seventh and Upstairs Downstairs never had make up like that on the upper class ladies.
