She told two behind the scene stories relating to TNA, and the best one involved her stunt at the end of Dirtier by the dozen, where she she was lifted out of the minefield by a helicopter. The stuntwoman was standing by, but they asked Joanna to do the stunt as it would look so much better on film. She asked if it was safe and they said it was as long as she didn't pull the ladder as it would pull the helicopter down on top of her. She asked how far they would travel with her suspended in air, and they said not far. They circled around for over a mile with Joanna hanging around, before lowering her to the ground safely. The director congratulated her and then said he was glad she agreed to do the stunt, as the stuntwoman had refused to do it Great story and for fashion aficionados did Joanna wear those boots also in comedy The Plank 1979 ?

How lucky The New Avengers is to have Joanna Lumley.

Biggest laugh on Graham Norton show when Jennifer Saunders mistaken for Joanna Lumley!

I've always loved that stunt story.

I'm watching and enjoying Joanna in Sapphire and Steel at the moment.

Yes indeed. Joanna really made the show as far as I'm concerned.
