When was this? It must be a few years ago because Diana looked considerably older in her recent episode of Extras.

[TaggleElgate]

The year was 2000

Joanna Lumley is one of my idols. I love her so much, she's just unceasingly amazing. She looked absolutely gorgeous in that dress and her speech was so cute and she charmed the hell out of the audience. She is such a fantastic, brilliant woman and I look up to her every day.

Diana will always be my favorite, but what a great show.

[MrMarchick]

Could somebody please tell me where I might get a copy of the cool music that starts at 1:56---Obviously Laurie Johnson, no? I always thought his music was the best part of the show---After Steed and the ladies, of course!

[DarthAcroyear]

Class acts. Every one of those beautiful ladies.

Why Patrick wasn't there to be awarded?

[sitedezynz]

@amyparking That's because the French were behind it sweetie darling...

[DBSpy1]

Dear Mrs Peel, thank you for helping me not explode over and over and over and over and over and over during me adolescents. Come on BBC America, put the Avengers back on.

Heavens to Murgatroid! The female stars from "The Avengers" still all look great! Sexy is as sexy does! THANKS for posting this fun footage! :)

They all certainly did deserve the award, and how terrific that someone who clearly loves the entire series put together that awesome clip fest, giving equal weight to all the ladies!

[Botafogoplayground]

Absolutely great!

Just goes to show the casting director on The Avengers knew what was going on. What a classy, talented bunch. Linda Thorson is so underrated - known for being devastatingly sexy, she is also talented and very funny.

This was 2000? Diana Rigg looked fine, as she did in that TV detecive series made about this time, Mrs Bradley Mysteries or something. Joanna Lumley of course just gets better looking, a true beauty, she's very fortunate in her genes. Honor Blackman, too, much older than the others, looks splendid. But what happened to Linda Thorson? She turned into Vanessa Redgrave, the old version, and is totally unrecognisable.
