In my opinion the coolest ever TV show, the Avengers (the Emma Peel episodes in colour) are showing on BBC 4 on Thursday nights at 7.00pm, starting this Thursday. They are showing all 24 colour episodes, incidently this was the first British progamme to be made in colour at a time when there were virtually no colour televisions in the UK.

Has there ever been a female lead sexier than Diana Rigg as Emma Peel and has there ever been a male lead cooler than Patrick Macnee as Steed? The chemistry between them, which I missed a lot of first time round as I was a mere babe in arms is electric.

I actually watched them first time round, in b&w as we didn't have a colour tv and have never seen the whole series in colour. Going out now to buy a DVD recorder to capture them all onto DVD!

I take it you are not following The Sweeney on Men and Motors at the moment then. Regan and Carter are always having a good punch up with some blaggers. There is nothing like the combination of gratuitous violence and flared trousers!

Diana Rigg still owes me for the premature damage to my trousers when I was a small boy. If I am a sad, sex-obsessed weirdo today, she is responsible---and I thank her for it.
