I didn't hear of his death until reading this. Needless to say, The Avengers was a staple TV show in our house. That show would never make it these days... too subtle and understated.
This reminds me though.. I've got to buy this DVD collection.

When I was a kid in the early 70s, Channel 44 from San Francisco used to air The Avengers re-runs every weeknight at 8 o'clock after the Hogan's Heroes Hour.
I also remember Patrick Macnee as Count Iblis in the Battlestar Galactica episode 'Lost Planet of the Gods'. I admit I liked Diana Rigg as Emma Peel in her skintight bodysuit. However, Uma Thurman in the movie remake was even sexier.

Those Brit productions were high caliber, compared to what was offered from the other side of the pond, despite McNee's somewhat queenie role. I wonder how Kwan television would have turned out, if television production were to reflect contemporary demographic proportions, instead.
