I was a little boy when this show debuted on American television. I was utterly captivated by Emma Peel. Possibly my first crush. Her face is absolutely perfect for film.
I watched The Avengers when I was growing up, as a teenager. Had a huge crush on Diana. Her face is perfect, and so much class.
She really was an epitome of beauty with brains.. The late Diane rigg world master class actress rest in peace legend.
She was so so beautiful inside and outside, down to earth, and those eyes, she will surely b missed R.I.P.
Diana Rigg 😪
A gorgeous (and VERY intelligent) Woman. RIP 🌹
Yes!!!She is!🤗😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔
What a beautiful classy lady, and what a wonderful voice.
That's RADA for you. She was born in Doncaster.
@@thewomble1509 Why RADA for me.
Yes she’s a classical trained actress.
@@thewomble1509 Sorry, I misread what you said, thanks for that.
@@frankie6954 No worries.
How I miss interviews like this ..polite, friendly, articulate, informative and all spoken in proper English!
Before right bruv became a normal grunt !
🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍
@@philipcamp1370Oh, you mean going “ innit” like.
The whole world has dumbed down. People just want to look good and have things. Be better then the next person

*_Quite true - but it is the West that has gone the wrong way and those countries that have had greatest exposure to American influence in particular._*
I just loved her in the Avengers, and anything else I ever saw her in. Beautiful and smart. Kind person
How much more articulate people seem in the 1970's. Everything is so dumbed down now.
And women, were ACTUAL REAL women. Beautiful, both of them.
Yes the country standard's in so many ways has fallen & culture . A different world sadly .
Even as recently as 70s theatre & TV careers were all but inaccessible to anyone of the white, upper middle class club.
It really is. Extremely depressing.
@@haroldgodwinson4674 Surely the theatre was monopolised by the white upper-middle-class: they weren't EXcluded from it, no way.
My all time favorite British actress, drop dead gorgeous and intelligent
Diana was a legend 🙏 sophisticated, beautiful, articulate and intelligent . Very attractive at many levels. A national treasure 🙏🙏
🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍 You BET ! Even the Krauts (germans) loved her . . .
True!
Pure classy lady
It is a crime that she was not given more film parts, she was absolutely incredible in James Bond, The Hospital and A Little Night Music
Love Diana.... as a French kid, I was a crazy Avengers fan and she was by far my favourite "Steed partner". I wanted to see her play live and it did happen in London (of all places...), early January 1994, there she was playing the lead role in Medea. First row, I watched her non stop and was blown away.... still better than I expected. RIP, Diana, you're gone but not forgotten.
@@ArZaino Je l'ai vue en janvier 1994, le 2 ou le 3, je passais le nouvel an à Londres, on sort du métro le 1er soir, temps londonien, gris, froid, pluvieux ambiance crachin qui vous traverse les vêtements, et en lettres lumineuses au loin, "Diana Rigg in Medea"... Justement je pensais à elle non stop à cette époque car je découvrais sa première saison dans The Avengers ( celle en noir et blanc) où elle était très jeune, somptueuse et glacialement érotique (cf. l'épisode "Death at bargain prices"). Bref, j'ai pris les meilleures places pour le lendemain et même mon pote, qui parlait peu l'anglais, est tombé raide... J'ai trouvé sa performance très technique, on sentait la super pro expérimentée, et sans doute un peu froide, mais je suis rétrospectivement comblé d'avoir pu la voir en action ( et de fort près) de mon vivant. Après, la personne privée.... peu importe ; c'est l'artiste qui nous intéresse. Paix à son âme 😔
Brilliant to see this , Diana was a fantastic actress, I don't think she realised how good she was. From the Avengers to Bond , she delivered with interest 👍👍
To say nothing of Olenna Tyrell!!
If she don’t know it,I will tell it and show it to her….!🥰😘😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️
Major crush on Diana Rigg as a kid in the 1960s. Amazing actress and she is sorely missed. RIP Great Lady!
ive been in love with her my entire life, shes like shakespeare and the rolling stones- so perfectly wonderful that its kinda ridiculous...
Her saying “It’s a bit late…” in reference to not going to University is the most relatable, tangible, and endearing comment. Such a lovely person through and through… ❤
Stunning woman. I had and will have a crush on her forever. RIP Diana.
Far more wonderful than she herself ever realised.
A great interview by Mary Parkinson, woman to woman.
Such class. Brilliant actress and beautiful woman. I adore her suit! Extremely sexy. My goodness we do live in such a dumbed down society. Very few speak this beautifully anymore.
I have to laugh when someone remarks that a female character in a tv show in the nineties or later is an example of a strong woman, especially if she displays fighting skills, they probably are not aware of Diana and Honor Blacknman, who potrayed strong women at a time when a woman taking on a man in a fight, and beating him was groundbreaking.
Right bruvv
She really was an epitome of beauty with brains.
Oh! I'm going to watch The Avengers right now 👍
I'm surprised she wasn't proud of her big screen career at the time. She was incredible in On Her majesty's secret service.
Her book, “ No Turn Unstoned” is a wonderfully written , unflinching listing of some her most scathing reviews by myriad theatre critics. Rigg was a brilliant actor even in the final years of her life. Incomparable and sorely missed.
Not just her reviews but loads of reviews across the history of theatre. A great read.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔♥️♥️♥️♥️
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔♥️♥️♥️♥️
If I could come up with a title like that I wouldn't even need to write a book.
@@frankshailes3205 True
Diana Rigg. 😍
Last saw her as Mrs. Pumphry in All Creatures Great and Small. 🤗
Beautiful lady with a beautiful mind
love this woman I remember as a child in London England watching the Avengers
:)
Great interview, such a lovely lady, Thanks for posting
What an absolute gem 💎 she was, miss her still 😢❤.
Light year's ahead of her time! And wonderful.
Still the best Bond girl 🎬🇬🇧🙏 had man appeal her whole life🙏RIP MISS❤️😍😇
Her voice is so smooth and suttle
A proper Englishwoman.
My role model, hero and very favorite actress ever.
Her intelligence and articulation is so beautiful to watch.
beautiful lady
Great Actress & fabulous looking & stylish best Adventer Girl with Steed . Great show still watch today.
Suddenly I feel blessed for still keeping The Avengers season 5 in full colour broadcast. Very classy action comedy at same frame. Mrs. Emma Peel was the best young british femme fatale detective in fiction so far.
Yes, she was .....
I still watch repeats of the Avengers whenever they are shown on tv ..... and i have a box set of them .... as well as one of the Champions.

_Nice..._
Great interviewer questions and engaged Diana in sincere conversation.
Blessings
She was my first TV love.
She was always her own person, a really interesting woman.
Beautiful woman. Legendary The Avengers. ♥️
Its amazing to see that she tought she didnt had a face for movies or Tv. She was so pretty that its unreal to think she had these toughts.
She appeared briefly in Detectorists with her daughter, Rachel Stirling, also an actress. ❤
First TV actress I loved , classic
Wonderful interview! Thanks for posting...
dear diana, you are the tops!
She was a stunning beauty
Her work in HMSS was great.
I was a big fan of the show, growing up, and she was a marvelous and attractive. Watching the Avengers, was a nice change of pace, at that time, from watching mostly westerns , like Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Big Valley. She was wonderful. RIP
The country has lost a national lovely lady 😘
"Mrs. Peel - You're needed." Mr. Steed after she opened her door. "Yes? Mr. Steed?"
Your face was absolutely perfect!
Such a classy lady I loved her in the avengers
Webster's Dictionary defines Diana Rig as brightest Star!
Great show, brilliant and gifted Actress; Diana was God's gift to the world!
Blessings
I loved seeing her In ‘Detectorists’ where she played the mum of Rachael Stirling - her own daughter.
The late Diane rigg world master class actress rest in peace legend
Forever missed… oh how i wept when Diana left us… ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One word: HOT!!!!!
Was watching a couple of the colour episodes yesterday, brilliant stuff, very well written and acted. Love those '60s Brit programmes, timeless in a way.
"People find what I say shocking is that I call a spade a spade, and they've called a spade a shovel all these years" (paraphrased) - brilliant words of wisdom
Its so nice to hear English spoken by English people.
Michael Parkinson’s wife Mary a very good interviewer in her own right.Diana just fabulous,Pat Mcnee adored her,always acknowledged as a great actress
ah, that's who she is, perfectly pitched qurstions
Diana was awesome as emme peel in the avengers, its still my all-time favourite tv programme . I admire, respect, and adore her . She has something about her that is on another level. Mesmerising is the word im looking for .
DIANA WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN INSIDE AND OUT
LOVED HER IN THE BOND MOVIE
ON HER MAJESTYS SECRET SERVICE WITH GEORGE LAZENBY
ITS THE BEST BOND MOVIE
A wonderful woman and an inspiration still. We need more like her today.
Nice to watch but the copyright is bloody awful
Una mujer hermosa e inteligente, combinación que raras veces se da...
Very Classy! She was The Quill
The reason I watched the avengers was because of Diana rigg my favorite show on Friday night's what a incredible woman beautiful & intelligent a joy to watch it was a shame she was there for only 2 seasons after she left the series went downhill , she will always have a place in my heart RIP diana
I will ALWAYS love her!
The interview flows so nicely....
Why are some parts censored? Is it some copyright infringement thing?
She was so so good in the avengers!!!
good 74 interview
I was a USAF brat in 1965-1967 living in England while my dad served at RAF Chicksands. The Avengers was my favorite show and I had a big crush on Diana. It spoiled me because over the years being back in the USA I am disappointed in the likes of Madonna, Miley Cyrus, the Kardashians and all the other American celebrities who are vulgar and lack class. Diana Rigg is very humble despite her wonderful performances and striking beauty. By the way Emma Peel was a play on M. appeal short for Man Appeal which was certainly true.
People forgetting the interviewer who has done a wonderful job.
Interviewer? What interviewer? There could be a gorilla in the video and I’d see only Diana Rigg
Celebrity done right.
Poise discipline humor skill wit and yes looks
She seemed smart too
She was perfect all her life!
brilliant interview for anyone interested in psychology and body language analysis.
She was sexy in a very elegant way ❤. R.i.p. Diana Rigg
True!
I love her look here...such casual beauty.
Elizabeth Shepherd originaly got the part but it didn’t work out thank goodness legend Dianna Rigg the rest is history
Those days when I was taught proper English language…
Such a wonderful actress she was.
She contributed to reunify both countries.
I’m French…
PS: the lady who interviewed her did the job too. Although remaining unknown on this side of the “English Channel !”…😖
7:44 why is it censored?
I used to watch Good Afternoon for the theme music and Mary, shame about losing Rigg + Patrick Macnee as John Steed.
What an Amazing and Beautiful woman
What was her age. at the time of interviews?
Today, I've come to see Diana Rigg in a different light
(1:42 - 2:04)
Genuinely a lovely woman.
Diana Rigg was fabulous as 'Emma Peel', wasn't she?
What a unique show the Avengers was in the sixties, real cult stuff, so different to everything else.
Aside from Diana, the only other actress i had the hots for back then, was the equally stunning Alexandra Bastedo of the Champions .. again real cult stuff..
Diana thk you . RIP
Right up until the end she was doing great with GoT.
What I’d give for a woman like that in my life! Fabulously articulate, engaging and attractive.
The best x
Oh I miss the 70s
The chemestry between these two women ist fascinating
Hard to believe Olenna Tyrell from Game of Thrones was played by Diana Rigg.
A proper English rose 🌹
🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍
I miss Mrs. Emma Peel
Diana has the class, the interview does not...she's feverishly advancing #feminism and Diana pours cold water on her efforts...Diana exhibits class where ever she went in career imo
