Sad news indeed. Always thought she was great as Emma Peel in The Avengers.

The only woman to marry Bond. What a legend! I'll see if I can watch OHMSS tonight

Loved her as Emma Peel, the original Avengers series being way ahead of its time.

I feel someone has trod on my grave. I used i go to the same doctor as her in Notting Hill. Such a modest quiet person though already very famous. How sad she is gone.

Apparently diagnosed with cancer just a few, short mths ago? I think she kept it quiet. Very dignified.

Well I guess the best way to celebrate her life is to watch all the great stuff she made, and I think we can look forward to repeats of her stuff on various channels shortly (just as soon as all the self-flagellatory post-Colonial stuff runs out, dear God

).

Agreed. I only got to watch the repeats many years later as a kid, but I could still appreciate the banter and sexual tension between Emma and Steed.

I bet he was giving her one on the side...bowler hat, indeed...

I was a bit conflicted as he was a dead ringer for my mum's brother

But getting back to tge main point, wasn't The Avengers brilliant and just the most English thing ever?

Good tribute this I thought. A best of Emma Peel:

Yep.

And I suspect it'll get torn down, just like everything else does these days. Cynical, moi?

One of my first sexual memories was an episode of the Avengers when she was on this kind of bird swing. I believe she was being held hostage or something.
On Saturday evenings in the sixties my parents used to go out and I used to stay with my adult sister at her house until I was about 12/13 and old enough to stay on my own until they returned.
I was at my sister's this particular evening so must have been pretty young still. I recall going to bed and having a real fantasy about her on this swing. I think she might have been wearing a bikini. I can't recall whether I wanked or had a wet dream or what, but I do know she provided my earliest sexual fantasy.

RIP Diana

And currently in the Channel 5 remake of All Creatures Great And Small. A trouper to the end. Far sexier than Joanna Lumley in The Avengers imo.

OHMSS is my favorite Bond movie, mainly because of her and Louis Armstrong singing "We have all the time in the world".

Also, did anyone see her in "The Detectorists" on BBC4 about two enthusiastic metal detectors, where she played the mother of one the female cast, who also happened to be her daughter in real life?

RIP Dame Diana.

Detectorists is wonderful. I think it's still on iPlayer.

Wow! Didn't recognise him without the big hair, but I can see where his taste in loungwear came from

Funny how famous people from Doncaster never sound as if they're from there (see also Clarkson, J).

Jeremy Clarkson went to public school, and lived in London for a long time soo perhaps thats why?

Also in an episode of Gervais' Extras .... where she 'pinged' Daniel Ratcliffe's condom IIRC.
