one of the best interviews ive seen of diana--so happy and relaxed-thx for posting-there is a lot of emma peel still left in her--glad she has embraced it-people are still watching,awe struck by her wit and beauty on the avengers and now--when she left the show-it was never the same--the end of charm--
I still enjoy watching those reruns.The 60's had some great shows.The Avengers is still one of many of the best Britain had to offer to American audiences.I was 14 yrs. old then. Thanks for posting this show.
It gladdens my heart to see this clip because I was always under the impression that Dame Diana would never utter a word about the Avenger in public. But she appears to be taking it in good humour here, so perhaps time has healed some of the wounds. I absolutely LOVED Emma Peel when I was a kid. And being a kid I didnt understand why she disappeared and someone else took her place.
She is just amazing! Hard to believe she earned so little at the beginning! I'm glad she eventually was paid more--she was so essential to the Avengers!
I just love everything about this woman! She still looks wonderful even now, but I could think of other "fighting" clips they could have shown...like the scene from Murdersville where she gave Doctor Haynes a good throttling, and later she fought off about 4 or 5 men.
She has that enchanting that smile that I use to love so much, when, beeing a boy, I secretely watched The Avengers (Sundays evenings, 10PM, was deemed too late by my parents).
The Avengers were the icing on the cake that was comprised by Danger Man/Secret Agent, The Saint, James Bond, The Man From Uncle, I Spy, In Like Flint, etc. The entire 60's were a sustained crescendo of post WWII geopolitical dominance through pro active intelligence networks. Shallow and one dimensional intelligence devoid of any underlying wisdom, but we couldn't care less on that count. Justification was always a foregone conclusion for what we did. The tongue in cheek Western assurance was written into every line and scene. Diana Rigg played along with the smug romantic scenarios that paled in comparison to her exemplary and extensive stage work. She weathers these portions of her interviews like a champ.
Great Actress! RIP Dear Queen!
That was a very nice upbeat interview. I enjoyed that.
