Despite a long and diverse
career
in the theatre and cinema,
Patrick Macnee
(...)
will be
remembered as John Steed,
the umbrella-twirling,
bowler-hatted hero
of the stylish derring-do
TV
series The Avengers.
The programme,
written and presented
in
“swinging” 1960s London,
was thrilling and dynamic,
and it made a star of Macnee
and his sidekicks
Honor
Blackman
(as Cathy Gale)
and Diana Rigg
(as Emma
Peel).
