I've never seen that shot of Diana before. Thanks for posting the link.

I was watching "The Avengers Revisited" the other day, and I'd no idea that John Bates was notable for more than his Avengers stint. Between him and Pierre Cardin and the woman who designed Purdey's clothes (and went on to do the same for Joanna when she played Patsy), the show really launched some significant people in the fashion world. Wonder where I can pick up a copy?

It's a fabulous photo, isn't it?

Darn, and I wanted to rein in my spending, too. How can I do that when they keep throwing Philip Glenister retrospectives and Dirk Gently radio series at me?

I am supposed to be saving too for a holiday next year in Andalucia - not working so far!

Beautiful photo. Would love it if Liz could grace us with a report for the launch party...

The only worse thing than having too many things to get is not having anything, though! It's great that we're still getting stuff about the show, especially breaking fresh ground as it were.

True, very true, very very true

It's called John Bates: Fashion Designer - doesn't that say it all!
He dressed la Rigg in most of the b&w Emma Peel episodes
