As great as Diana Rigg was on "The Avengers" (and I'm a big fan of hers), it annoys me that people think the series is all about her. Newsflash - it's not.
There are a lot of other things to appreciate besides Emma Peel. Honor Blackman and yes even Linda Thorson were talented actresses who do fine work on the show and it's worth noting. I don't have a problem with people who say Emma was their favourite but there is much more to appreciate about "The Avengers" than just focusing on one aspect!
@woohooboy Please note that when Diana Rigg left the show it only lasted one more season. Sadly Linda Thorson did not have the ''IT'' factor so the ratings dropped and the show ended for 9 years. I do understand what you mean about the show having a lot to offer BUT what it was offering after Ms Rigg had left was not enough to keep people tuning in!
@iLuvAkeys4ever - I think after 8 years on the air, "The Avengers" just simply ran it's course. Linda Thorson may not have been as popular as Diana Rigg, but there were other factors involved with the cancellation of the show. To put the bulk of it on her shoulders would be unfair
I personally find it irritating when people just focus on one aspect of this series and ignore what happened before and after which is quite often the case with "The Avengers". Diana Rigg was great but there was more.
Thank you for putting on these fantastic episodes of my very favorite series The Avengers! I've loved the show for over 40 years now. My favorite co-star of Patrick Macnee: 1. Diana Rigg 2. Honor Blackman (a far) 3. Linda Thorson. (To me Linda Thorson was the Yoko Ono of The Avengers...but that's just my opinion!) Do you have my other favorite episode Escape in Time? Just curious....thanks!
Thank You -Ever so much for the HOURS!! of enjoyment i've had via your post of my beloved AVENGERS!! They simply make day!!I'm so sorry to hear of your hard drive problem,that sucks! I am indeed greatful for all the post you were able to share,and do look forward to the day when you can resume and complete the MISSING Emma and Tara episodes!!
I refuse to watch any Avengers episodes without Diana Rigg as Emma Peel. She, in my opinion, was what made the show besides the story and Patrick Macnee. The other actresses will never top her.
My absolute favorite Avengers episode. Light on the spoof, great imagery and art direction during the premonition scenes, and a tight script. Thanks so much for posting!!
great show, but laughable fight scenes. I like when diana riggs little stick arms knock a guy out in one shot... too funny!

@woohooboy I agree. It's just narrowminded thinking. I can watch most era's of Doctor who, for example!

Emma Peel? She's mine "Grimm.." and "lion...", so you both can share the other girl named...named...
What's the name of the other actress?
A very forgettable name, I guess...

@GrimReaper2485 So apart from the script and Patrick Mcnee she is what made the show. Well said. But yes you are right she was the best!
