Mrs Peel, We're needed. RIP Patrick MacNee.

He's dead, Jim. 93.

Making it to 93 is pretty good. I remember him mainly as the very neatly attired Mr. Steed, the British gentlemen, in his TV Avenger role.

Of course I was looking more at his co star, the lovely Mrs. Peel played by Dianna Rigg

Diana Rigg is a recurring character on WG.  Without Macnee she would not have been possible.  And for that, we thank you!

I used to be matey with her nephew. She cooked me breakfast once, (Diana Rigg that is.) really nice, unassuming woman who loved teasing a teenage boy! :D

Teasing.  Drove him batshit crazy more like.  That was/is one handsome woman.

Wow, I remember living for Wed. night at 8. He was in a HBO made in the 80s called "Sea Lions", I think. It stared all the the aging British spy types. Mcnee, Moore, Connery....., I think I'll look it up on netflix  or youtube tonight,

Her brother was an air force fighter pilot, Lightnings I think.
