  1. A fun fact, that is almost on topic.

    One of Diana Rigg's last roles was in the series The Detectorists (a great series, worthy of a rainy Sunday watch).

    Diana Rigg played the mother to actress Rachael Sterling, who is Diana Rigg's actual daughter. What a great opportunity to collaborate.

  17. Just watched the #PeterUstinov version of #EvilUnderTheSun last night and WOW! Did I love it! 😂

    I know the original book was NEVER written to be camp but this TV movie had such fun with an amazing cast that I've fallen in love with it all over again! #DianaRigg #MaggieSmith #Poirot #AgathaChristie

  18. "I'm not surprised THE AVENGERS has such enduring popularity, because it was a groundbreaking series that changed television. It was the first show that put its leading man and leading lady on an equal footing."

  24. Huh. I always thought Laurie Johnson was a woman, but apparently it's short for Laurence. Anyway, the Laurie Johnson theme for the Avengers (Steed and Mrs. Peel) series is basically the Riker's Beard of that show. It signals where it caught its stride and became what people think about today when you mention the show.
