Question for MJ from Florida

Many people aren't aware that Diana Rigg was the replacement for Honor Blackman (Pussy Galore in Goldfinger) who played Steeds' partner Cathy Gale in the first 2 seasons of the Avengers, which were never seen in the US until many years later when the dvd collections were released. Diana Rigg was super-hot! She was replaced by Linda Thorson playing Tara King, who absolutely fell flat on her face in that role.The show died shortly thereafter.

Bernie, I have never seen that clip before, but I can understand why it would have been edited out back in 1965. It is just full of sexual symbolism and taboos that were totally unacceptable on tv back then. Wow..that was some scene. She was drop-dead gorgeous!If they ran that scene unedited back in '65 here in the US, there would have been a mass exodus of teenage boys stampeding to the bathroom to, ahem, relieve themselves!! hahablush

Diana Rigg's character Mrs. Peel.... when I first saw her was in 1966 - I was still playing with my Barbies big time but I knew life wasn't all about being a fashion model or an airline hostess or a stay home and have kids kind of woman - so her character really made me think about what you could be when you grew up (besides being sexy) but being intelligent and fairly equal to men at that point ..... so she kind of molded my thinking (perhaps this is why I am such a opinionated B*tch ahahaha).

Anyway - I did watch all the Honor Blackman ones when they hosted the dvd Avengers on A & E and taped those episodes as well.... still Mrs. Peel had much more chemistry with Steed than with the other ladies....

I have some Tara episodes on dvd but she just couldn't cut it - she was too cutsey and didn't have the a-PEEL ahahahah... I have all the Emma Peel dvd's in a collection - I still watch them....

Top rated show - but the movie a few years back with Uma - it just sucked lol.
