Yes, he's one of those people who always seems very alive, due to being so young at heart. He was a good song and dance man, a good comedian, and I think he even played the trumpet? Wish we'd seen more of his lighter side on telly though he did do some entertainment specials and spoofs, even a comedy sketch based on his Callan role.

I recall him playing the villain in an old TV adaptation of The Man in Brown Suit. Stephanie Zimbalist played the heroine. It had a light tone to it and Woodward hammed it up but good. You can tell he was having fun

When returning to do an audio adventure last year it was great when Linda recalled :

“Patrick Macnee always used to say, ‘The Avengers is forever. There’ll always be an Avengers’. That was his favourite quote”.

She acted alongside Patrick so cleverly.

Happy Birthday Linda Thorson!

A month or so ago I watch online event with Linda and Julian Chagrin.

Thoroughly impressed with Linda Thorson, excellent memory of of things more than fifty years ago and she was very positive and made sure Julian got as much time and attention as she did. As gentlemanly as Steed in being courteous. Happy birthday Mrs Thorson.

Linda will be at the Mid Atlantic Nostalgia Convention in Hunt Valley, Maryland the weekend of Sept. 15-17, signing autographs (for a fee). I would go but finances prohibit it.
