My wife said do you want to go to the pictures and see the avengers after 20 minutes I realise it was a crap american film not the real avengers I fee I was conned rule Britannia
This scene is an absolute heartbreaking but not for me only. It was for Patrick Mcnee and Diana Rigg too who, just after this scene, cried each on their own . The end of a wonderful chemistry.
@@JesusMartinez-qk9hr They did meet again, Diana Rigg did a sitcom called "Diana" in the early 70s, Macnee was a guest star in one of the episodes. Search "Diana Rigg Patrick Macnee - Diana Show" on youtube, the quality of the video isnt great but its just a treat to see them reunited.
02:26 That final turn and look as she and Mr. Peel drives away, took on a whole different meaning today as our Mrs Peel, Diana Rigg has left us. Rest in Peace Mrs. Peel. I think there are a whole lot of men who still hold the candle of that youthful crush.
iflyTony Loved her in "The Avengers." Also loved her in the movie "In this House of Brede." It catered to more of a female audience, but she was lovely in it. I believe it's still up on TH-cam.
Patrick and Diana had a once in a lifetime chemistry. You cannot "act" or "fake" the sexual chemistry these two had. They loved each other in real life and you can take that how you want. Nobody will be able to successfully reboot this series because nobody can recreate Patrick and Diana.
You absolutely got that right. The chemistry between these two great actors could never be duplicated. That is why I boycotted the reboot movie. On the other hand Linda Thorson was tolerable with the help of Patrick MacNee. I tried watching the earlier Avengers and they were kind of boring.
Almost as good as William Powell and Myrna Loy, but not even in the same orbit as Bogart and Bacall or Lucy and Desi . . . but they were good together, not just the best.
I can't think of what to see at this time beyond that Diana Riggs passing sure makes me think about my personal mortality. Diana Rigg stood with Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly as far as screen elegance. I can offer no greater compliment.
Yes I recall seeing this episode when I was only nine years old when the Avengers TV series was still premiering back in 1968 and I was kind of distraught to see Diana Rigg leave the series. However I still enjoyed the series with Linda Thorson as Tara King after all she did a good job in the series as Steeds Hench woman.
I remember a scene in the black and white episodes where this guy is holding her at gunpoint, he unzips one of the zippers of black leather outfit and reaches in, like he's feeling her breast. That was a seminal moment in my young sexual awakening. Really daring for tv at that time, I think the censors missed it. I've never forgotten it.
Goodbye Emma and thank you. Thank you for lighting up my childhood. Thank you for staying forever lovely. You will always be one of the great beacons of that sixties era, Making the decade fun and stylish. And your magic never stopped, never went away, never faded. The story may be done, but the love will never be.
The moment I saw the thumbnail for this clip I remembered vividly the line from Emma peel about him liking his tea stirred anti clockwise even though I have not seen this episode for more than 50 years. It is amazing how small moments can stay in the mind.
Notice how Macnee's cheek trembles slightly as she's saying goodbye to him. And it's the only time he ever called her "Emma" (at least as his real self).
I had not noticed this before, and now seeing your comment, yes. You do not see Mr Peel clearly, but I believe the point is he was meant to be a spitting image of Steed with all that implied.
God bless, always John Steeds girl forever, rest in peace, goodbye "Emma". "Always keep your bowler on in times of stress and watch out for diabolical masterminds."
There is no words to describe Miss Emma Peel that lady was so classy and not only that she was an icon during the TV's show The Avengers and John steed both Legends forever
@@chrisnorton4382 Nice try, but I know for a fact it was Patrick Macnee. Do your homework before getting onto the internet and making up some ridiculous lie to garner a bit of attention for yourself.
I wish someone would release a Blu-Ray boxed set. I have a few DVD's but not the entire series. What fun watching this as a teen in the 60's. Love it even more today. And it saddens me to learn Dame Rigg has passed away.
Chris Norton thanks for the lead, it’s been awhile since I last looked. Hopefully this means more are coming. I just ordered them. Hopefully they are better then the DVD versions I already own. Thanks again.
Geez....I remember watching this episode on a Friday night, I was 11 years old. I knew that was the last episode with Mrs Peel. I still remember the lump in my throat as I had to work hard not to cry, I had that big a crush on her.
I was 8 or 9. The other boys had cartoon superheroes from fictional planets. I had Emma Peel and she was real and could vanquish an adversary with a single judo chop, then she'd whip her head and her hair would fall perfectly back in place. I refuse to watch _On Her Majesty's Secret Service_ to this day because I don't want to see "Mrs. Peel" get killed.
I rarely watch this episode. In reality, Di Rigg was already gone and this transitional installment was put in to explain the hand off to Tara. I have read where some people praise this final scene, and while I do appreciate what little emotional morsel fans got, I always felt it was woefully short of expressing their true bond. Anyway, her final look back says to me "I'll be with him but I'll be thinking about you." And thus launched a thousand fanfics. 😄
I was 10 when the last episode with Emma Peel aired...like many, I was in love with her & to see that departure, it felt like the end of a real relationship. I truly felt so heartbroken for awhile...What a woman she was. When I saw this clip recently, I relived the whole experience again. Can't believe she made such a great impression!!!
I remember watching that scene (late night re-runs in my country). They just re-ran with Diana Rigg Playing Emma. There can only be one and only. She was dynamite.
Emma Peel was my first crush, and after all these years The Avengers is still my favorite tv show. I have two complete DVD sets of The Avengers with Mrs. Peel.
This is the first time I've seen this in nearly 50 years (and the first time I've ever seen it in colour). I'm amazed at how many details of this scene I remembered, considering I was only 13 at the time. I guess it's because I had a huge crush on Diana Rigg (there have never been a sexier pair of eyes on TV). Ah memories! I feel sorry for Linda Thorson -- how does anyone follow up Diana Rigg?
Diana Rigg was perfect for the role. The show failed in America when she left. But, the show went on with Linda Thorson and was a hit in some places. I find these episodes boring but, there's no accounting for taste sometimes.
The Avengers series ran for years and Emma Peel was only in it for 2 (1965-67) but she and Steed are the only characters I remember. They were great friends in real life too. He was 45 and Rigg was 29 when this last episode was shot.
Check out the Cathy Gale episodes with Honor Blackman. They are much grittier than the Emma era, but Mrs. Gale was a badass before Emma was a badass. I love them both.
IF ONLY 'they' hadn't damaged/ruined her hair by too much bleaching and harsh chemicals, resulting in those damn wigs. IMO she was infinitely more appealing in pre-"Avengers" photos with her own hair. A pretty face, nice figure, youth (20), wears clothes well, intelligent, athletic, likeable -- individually can in their own be nice attributes. And here's Linda Thorson, blessed to have them ALL. Yet overcome with bad hair. A bloody shame.
Lady Dame Diana Rigg , passed away today, she was and will always be an exquisite actress, a credit to her acting profession, a lady with style and class. My condolences to her family. Kevin Phoenix
I tell ya, between Emma Peel, Sarah Jane, and a few others, some of those British women have had me wrapped around their little fingers for a very long time now. It's really difficult seeing them get old and leave this world. Probably more so than seeing myself get old. Rest in peace, ladies... you are and always will be missed.
"It's really difficult seeing them get old and leave this world. Probably more so than seeing myself get old". I've long felt this but this is the first time I've seen it expressed by someone else. I find it incredibly melancholic to watch the women I originally saw as young beauties get old and die, and it's more distressing than seeing the same thing happening to myself.
Loved the Avengers from its origins of live black and white with Honor Blackman until this last scene with Emma I just saw an interview with him much later. He was full of praise for her but regretted the way she was treated by then male producers
This scene is still one of the most painful. The end of an era. The last chapter of a great epic myth. They prepared us for this with the episode "The Forget-Me-Knot" - Almost like telling us: Wake up from the delicious dream!
I think they were involved romantically -- Emma thought she was a widow after all -- so that makes this scene especially poignant. A real relationship was ending. I really wonder just how long Emma stayed with Peter once the new wore off of his return. I mean, she had obviously moved on. By The New Avengers, she had changed her name and wasn't Mrs. Peel anymore. I like to think they got back together. ❤️
Uhh hello.... Why do you think Emma showed up at Steed's flat at 3:00am with booze in Dead Man's Treasure? It was a straight up booty call and that is a hill I will die on!!
Emma Peel + Lotus Elan what more could any kid ever want. An iconic character who can live with best. Good-bye to Diana Rigg however the legacy of Emma Peel shines bright
Diana Rigg gave this series an excellent run and was a major reason for its success. However, realistically, she had much more to offer as an actress and was wise to move on to bigger projects. As for me, when she left the series I stopped watching. I do however watch the Avengers on DVD all the time.
Hi Donna! If you call leaving Avengers to be the "Bond Girl" in 1969's James Bond movie "Her Majesty's Secret Service" bombing out, yeah she bombed out. It was among the top grossing films of 1969. ThronesDo you...read?
@@deesplaylists6941 IMO she was a real person not a shallow celebrity seeking puppet, that's why she could not/would not succumb to Hollywood, thankfully. She devoted herself to motherhood in preference to acting, for her daughters well being. She found stage acting more rewarding for herself as a mature woman but what she achieved with the Avengers was with regards to style, wit, charm, elegance and man appeal for me incomparable.
Sorry Marvel comics, but these will always be my Avengers.
My wife said do you want to go to the pictures and see the avengers after 20 minutes I realise it was a crap american film not the real avengers I fee I was conned rule Britannia
AMEN!!!
When people mention Avengers this is all I think of!
Yep mine too...
Yeah these are the real deal! No comparison with Marvel. Pure class
Rest in the most perfect peace, Dame Diana Rigg.
And many of the others who've left us over the years!
The only time Steed called her “Emma”... .
Yes, he always called her Mrs. Peel.
Watching this today on the day Diana Rigg died has left me with a few tears in my eyes. RIP Mrs Peel.
Reunited with Mr Steed.
This scene is an absolute heartbreaking but not for me only. It was for Patrick Mcnee and Diana Rigg too who, just after this scene, cried each on their own . The end of a wonderful chemistry.
How tender and unforgettable!!!!!!
I just have a doubt, did they meet again?

@@waltertaylor44 Thanks a lot for the information.
One of my favorite shows as a kid. I remember this episode.
No affection between her long lost husband..? 🤔. Linda was a perfect replacement.👍💜
RIP Diana Rigg. You were so loved.
Today is the real farewell for Emma. Goodbye Diana. Patrick is in heaven waiting for you
The only time in the series, I believe when he calls her "Emma" instead of "Mrs.Peel."
02:26 That final turn and look as she and Mr. Peel drives away, took on a whole different meaning today as our Mrs Peel, Diana Rigg has left us. Rest in Peace Mrs. Peel. I think there are a whole lot of men who still hold the candle of that youthful crush.
you bet friend, sad day, that beautiful face
And women who admire you forever.

Loved her in "The Avengers." Also loved her in the movie "In this House of Brede."
It catered to more of a female audience, but she was lovely in it. I believe it's still up on TH-cam.
@@TheDarkDresser I actually loved "Mother Love" it was a BBC mini series about 30 years ago. INCREDIBLE performance by Dame Diana.
This scene never fails to make me sad...very sad. The only "cure" is to restart the series from the beginning.
One cannot say Rest in Peace for Diana Rigg, as she truly was Emma Peel and Emma would never rest.
Patrick and Diana had a once in a lifetime chemistry. You cannot "act" or "fake" the sexual chemistry these two had. They loved each other in real life and you can take that how you want. Nobody will be able to successfully reboot this series because nobody can recreate Patrick and Diana.
You absolutely got that right. The chemistry between these two great actors could never be duplicated. That is why I boycotted the reboot movie. On the other hand Linda Thorson was tolerable with the help of Patrick MacNee. I tried watching the earlier Avengers and they were kind of boring.
Almost as good as William Powell and Myrna Loy, but not even in the same orbit as Bogart and Bacall or Lucy and Desi . . . but they were good together, not just the best.
R.I.P. Patrick and Diana. Steed and Emma together in the afterlife.😢
@@toga1022 Lucy/Desi Bogy/Bacall were married couples IRL. The fact that Patrick and Diana had equal chemistry says it all.
I can't think of what to see at this time beyond that Diana Riggs passing sure makes me think about my personal mortality. Diana Rigg stood with Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly as far as screen elegance. I can offer no greater compliment.
This is a very good start.
Agreed. Audrey Hepburn is my favorite movie actress, Diana Rigg, my favorite tv actress.
Still the most painful scene in the whole series.
BILL MURRAY Agree

I just turned 60 and still have a teenage crush on Mrs Peel.
Beat you at 76
I remember a scene in the black and white episodes where this guy is holding her at gunpoint, he unzips one of the zippers of black leather outfit and reaches in, like he's feeling her breast. That was a seminal moment in my young sexual awakening. Really daring for tv at that time, I think the censors missed it. I've never forgotten it.
me too
And this 74 year old, too🥰
Get in line with the rest of us...
=)
Her face at 2.22 shows her feelings. Quite emotional. What a gift for all us fans.
Goodbye Emma and thank you.
Thank you for lighting up my childhood.
Thank you for staying forever lovely.
You will always be one of the great beacons of that sixties era,
Making the decade fun and stylish.
And your magic never stopped, never went away, never faded.
The story may be done, but the love will never be.
Gigante relato. Felicitaciones, es exactamente lo que dice mi corazón ante su partida
What an amazing final scene. I can;t believe they wrote this as well as they did. And the actors nailed it. Like they usually did.
The moment I saw the thumbnail for this clip I remembered vividly the line from Emma peel about him liking his tea stirred anti clockwise even though I have not seen this episode for more than 50 years. It is amazing how small moments can stay in the mind.
Saddest three minutes in the history of television.
A sad day for TV, and especially 12-yr old boys. Nobody beat up bad guys like Mrs. Peel...
Well we got purdy in the 70s
@@dadagan8815 Before she turned into a lush 😛
Well, Tara was pretty good!💙
His final words: "Emma...thanks". Alot of emotion in that. MacNee did that so well.
The program was never the same after Diana Left the Avengers..
I agree
This was the big problem. The nearest match was Purdey aka Joanna Lumey. Aside from that I totally agree.
@@Pauldjreadman yes Purdey was great
It sucked period that's why it ended after season 6. Without Diana Rigg forget about it.
@@Pauldjreadman oh fully agree. I didn't care for Gambit tho could have done without him.
This scene is actually quite moving.
Aye.
Notice how Macnee's cheek trembles slightly as she's saying goodbye to him. And it's the only time he ever called her "Emma" (at least as his real self).
I remember when I watched this moment the first time how emotional it was. It's even more emotional today.
This whole scene is a master piece! Yes Steed, she was into you😥 His face when he see's what her husband looks like and carries himself. Fantastic!
I had not noticed this before, and now seeing your comment, yes. You do not see Mr Peel clearly, but I believe the point is he was meant to be a spitting image of Steed with all that implied.
I remember that episode and teared up when Mrs Peel left.
Mrs Peel and Steed, top Class
Breathes there a man
with soul so dead
who never to himself hath said,
"Mrs. Peel, we're needed!"
RIP Diana Rigg. Steed really does need you.
Like many, my kid crush will forever be on this beautiful, kickass lady!
Utterly heartbroken as a kid when she left the show!
God bless, always John Steeds girl forever, rest in peace, goodbye "Emma".
"Always keep your bowler on in times of stress and watch out for diabolical masterminds."
This was shocking. The bar was lifted to it's highest point and never gone any higher. The look on this face, says it all.
One of the most heartwarming friendships on and off screen.
I remember watching this first time on tv. Even now it still brings a tear to my eye
There will only ever be one The Avengers and she was in it.
R. I. P. Mrs emma peel. Will miss u loads. 40 yr old lad here who grew up watching u on avengers x
This is so perfect! Thank you! RIP Diana Rigg, my first female super-hero.💔
Steed looks puzzled as "hubbie" opens car door for Mrs Peel. The bowler, the coat - the man looks strangely like Steed. A last mystery...
Emma Peel stunningly beautiful
Still hard to watch.........!! Mrs Peel......Steed needs you.......!!!! RIP Beautiful Diana and Patrick.....
There is no words to describe Miss Emma Peel that lady was so classy and not only that she was an icon during the TV's show The Avengers and John steed both Legends forever
Absolutely heartbreaking.
All of these other 'superhero' females together owe Emma Peel so much! RIP, Dame Ring; you were and still are the best of the best.
Goodbye, Dame Diana! For all your other achievements you _were_ the sixties.
One of the saddest things ever on television. 🙁
The'll never be another Emma Peel, she was the one!
Nice touch that Emma's husband was a dead rigger for Steed.
I have to replay it....never caught that in 30 years...
That's because Patrick Macnee played Emma's husband at the end.

It's still a great scriptwriter's idea to let Mr Peel be a twin of Steed 😄
Goodbye Emma Peel :( Thanks, R.I.P now
Rest in peace, Mrs. Peel. You will be greatly missed.
After Diana Rigg left the The Avengers, it was the beginning of the end. The episodes were great but Linda could not replace Emma Peel. 😢

Totally agree! Emma Peel (Diana Rigg) is amazingly beautiful, both in acting and still, both in exterior and interior.
Diana was my favorite actress. I found no one to replace her. She was the best and most beautiful actress.
I remember watching that scene (late night re-runs in my country).
They just re-ran with Diana Rigg Playing Emma. There can only be one and only.
She was dynamite.
The show never recovered after Diana Rigg left.....
She was the always the quintessential fabulous actress. I love her still and always will.
What a beautiful lady
As Mrs Peel walked out that door, the show died.
Emma Peel was my first crush, and after all these years The Avengers is still my favorite tv show. I have two complete DVD sets of The Avengers with Mrs. Peel.
What lovely cheekbones she had .... rest in peace Dame.

I actually think Tara was a good successor. A lot of people don't think that. But Emma Peel was just so astounding.
True That. Though I’d say Tara fluctuates between good and great. Emma Peel’s strength was her “consistent” performance & gravitas

Yep, and he was going through a bitter break up with his real life wife at the same time. Poor guy. Absolutely gut wrenching.

This scene is still one of the most painful. The end of an era. The last chapter of a great epic myth. They prepared us for this with the episode "The Forget-Me-Knot" - Almost like telling us: Wake up from the delicious dream!
The only time he called her Emma
How sad Emma had to leave such a dynamic dual and chemistry between her and Steve.I was clued to this show and still watch it!
Always and forever...the ideal working couple. Loved them.♥♥
Will always love her!
You will live on for ever on my DVD’s!
British style is just unique!
She was great!
This is actually a pretty clever goodbye.
"No, they never gave in, but they *could* have!"
It satisfies on both levels.
Rigg was ambiguous about whether Steed and Emma were banging. Macnee said "Of course they were.".
There is a scene or two in the series that strongly imply they just slept together.
I think they were involved romantically -- Emma thought she was a widow after all -- so that makes this scene especially poignant. A real relationship was ending. I really wonder just how long Emma stayed with Peter once the new wore off of his return. I mean, she had obviously moved on.
