Diana Rigg

Watched her on The Kumars last night. Good fun, but not much of an interview on this type of programme. Nice to see her lighter side as she entered into the spirit of it. She seems to be walking better than she has lately. Has she finally had the knees done I wonder? I preferred the radio interview with Russell Davis. Much more of a proper interview this one, and although nothing under discussion was new to me, it was great to have a full hour with Diana!

She thought We Have All The Time in The World was absolutely beautiful - and said that the role of Tracy was a beautifully written part. In this excellent interview - the full versions The Avengers theme and We Have All The Time In The World were played.
Diana also talked about Doctor Who and Game of Thrones.

very happy to hear her say positive things about Lazenby and the film. yrs later, it's now viewed as one of the corner stones of the BOND series..

I had to download this Kumars episode on the net. I don't think they have broadcast this series in Australia for quite some time now but it was easy for me to find. I have now viewed it and whilst it was amusing it was not very illuminating.

Does anyone have a download link for the BBC Radio 2 interview?

I've just bought the DVD box set of season 3 of Game of Thrones and, having watched the 10 episodes, am now working my way through the audio commentaries. Diana is on the one for episode four, with Lena Headey and Alex Graves. She doesn't say a lot, and is very quiet-spoken, but she has some interesting things to say about e.g. lighting of scenes and she's very complimentary about Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen).

Does anyone know where to find the interview of Diana talking about her Avenger days, overwhelmed with fan mail. And a photographer during that time who i believe was intrusive and got in her car without her permission to interview her. i am sure it is somewhere in these 19 pages on her but where i have no clue.

Am I right in thinking Pygmalion in 2011 was Diana's last stage role to date

Did anyone see her in this, and if so what were your impressions? I wish I'd managed to see this now. Does anyone know if she is planning a return to the stage in the near future? I hope so. I'd hate to think I'll never see her act on stage. Thanks, Rich.
