  • I recently got The Avengers: The Diana Rigg Complete Collection DVD set. A very good series.

    I also remember him on Battlestar Galactica for a couple of episodes.

    From what I've read about him, he seemed an interesting fellow. Did he ever write an autobiography?

  • The Four Color Shadows blog has commemorated Mr Macnee by running an Avengers comic story from 1967 here. I'm a bit worried about copyright but I suppose no harm done if it's not likely to be reprinted. Here's an item from Lew Stringer's blog on an Avengers strip with a some excellent likenesses of Macnee that ran in a comic called Diana. According to a later post (here) this is being collected. The Bear Alley blog has run strips from a 1977 The New Avengers Annual, drawn by John Bolton, here and here.
