      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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 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. ❤️

      cat 11 they were pretty close friends. Past interviews have stated that Diana didn’t trust anyone because they were exploiting her. Patrick was the only one who she trusted and considered a friend. It all went downhill for her on the show, when she learned that the cameraman was earning more than she was. Anyone else hear that story?
