    Nice bloke Roger Moore, opened our shop for us (March The Tailors) in Bowers Fold, Doncaster in the 60's. Must have been hard up for a quid at the time but he pulled the crowds in.

    Sir Christopher Lee was also a war time hero, working alongside the SAS then recruited to the SOE, quite a fruitful and varied military career even including a detachment to the Ghurkas. He never spoke about his time with the SAS, infact there is story somewhere that an interviewer brought his military career up during an interview, Lee asked if the interviewer "could keep a secret", to which the interviewer said they could, Lees response was classic as he replied "so can I". Stage wise, aside from acting Sir Lee was also an opera singer too.
    Quite a talented chap really.

    Agreed.

    I also liked Lee as Fu Manchu.

    Steed was brilliant, though to be honest, I thought he died a while back.

    RIP

    Kinky Boots was Honor Blackman, but the best Avenger was Diana Rigg.

    The name Emma Peel was clever, it was actually derived from M-Appeal(or Man-Appeal).

    I was just about to post a very similar comment.

    Diana Rigg was the sexiest woman on television.

    We went to Hulk Hogans shop in Clearwater the other week and apart from John Cena, who my grandson copies, I didn't know anyone from today's wrestlers, I nearly bought a signed Bushwhackers tee shirt but it was too small for me, he must be skint (Hulk ) because he's flogging off his belts signed pics clothing all sorts, big money mind.

    Wrestling always had a high mortality rate, mostly due to steroid abuse, Davey Boy Smith the British Bulldog was a shock.

    One of THE great rock bass players.

    RIP big feller.

    The opening 2 minutes and 38 seconds are as good as it gets, culminating in a couple of marvellous bass runs from Squire.
