Diana's film The Painted veil is on BBC1 next Tues, the 10th, at 11.40pm. Reviews aren't brilliant for this one. Has anyone seen it? What did you think

Rich.

Yesterday I took for researches other theme - ads (stars of the series). Long wanted to do it, but I was pausing to accumulate material for publication. So, the first in the queue became Diana Rigg and I dipped in soap scum Lux.

(It was a pleasure working on this issue, since my childhood I used soap this brand - after, I could not to buy Russian brands

).
Outcome of this study.

I also found out that the German textile factory Povel produced in the late 1960s postcard with Diana Rigg.

And finally, I came across a rare calendar from the Lux for 1976. November and December deserve special attention.

Cool! I didn't know Diana actually filmed ads for Lux--I thought she just did the print ones. Fascinating stuff!

Thank you for kind words, Jay!

Diana made two commercials for soap Lux, one in 1966 and another in 1967. Both spots subsequently demonstrated on TV in an abbreviated form. Unfortunately, I have not seen these commercials, but saved pictures for publication on Steedumbrella.

The reason is that I am an inveterate explorer in Web

and sometimes climb there, that by next day I ask myself - Where was I?

Fortunately, "bookmarks" in the browser always help me... as and personal archive.

Thank you, Ishtar.

Great stuff.
I have studied this resource and it really talks interesting things around "Emma Peel Kollektion".

I haven't seen them, either. Hopefully they're still around!
