But he lived a long full life of 93 years.<br /><br />I got my love of The Avengers from my dad - he was a huge fan of the show and has been in mourning ever since Diana Rigg left the show! As Mrs. Peel, she personified what all men hope to have in a woman and her effect lasts to this day.<br /><br />MacNee always made me think of the quintessential Englishman and he played up to it in The Avengers. He always added a bit of class to any production he was a part of. <br /><br />My dad had never seen the B/W episodes of The Avengers (the pilot up to the Honor Blackmon years). I got the opportunity to get some VHS cassettes and we watched them together - I know past cast members have their fans but we both found the show rather dull at this point in production.magicdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755186050643383954noreply@blogger.com
