I think MM didn't rate RONR but i rate it one of her best films it's the only film she made where MM played an action heroine and in this she's a revelation. also it's the only film where she interacts with a child, again she's brilliant it was also great to see MM in jeans. i was almost going to sa...

I usually do add Spoiler Alert, i just forgot this time. sorry about that. maybe i felt that the film was a complete unknown in America and got carried away trying to promote it.

There was a cross over episode were Diana Rigg leaves and Linda Thorson takes over. what happened was they took a Rigg episode that hadn't aired and filled in the gaps with Thorson. the two women didn't actually have a scene together at the end. for that Diana Rigg came back from her retirement from...

I remember one episode from the Thorson series. a casually dressed Steed in his flat finds out Tara's lifes in danger and he has to get to her quickly. yet he still has time to put on his trademark Edwardian suit first

Spoiler Alert! Here's two British movies that were also popular tv shows IMO the hard hitting The Blue Lamp is the best British cop film while The Sweeney and Sweeney 2 are shall we say at best better than average. on the other hand I would say The Sweeney tv series is the best cop show to appear on...

As far as i believe Honor's Avengers wern't shown in America until the 1980s, though along with the other girls, the shows are out on dvd and video, at least in the UK I thing Thorson had to grow into her role as Tara. she was an inexperienced actress when she landed the role and it showed. however,...

I'm going to shock you here by saying i prefered the tv series with Clive Wood, Joanna Whalley and Susan Penhaligon. the reason being i didn't realise that the movie only covers part of the story where Bates' Vic and the actress who played Ingrid are reconciled. in the series we see Wood's Vic and W...

i bet America didn't get Daniel Radcliffe's great adult performance in My Boy Jack where he played the son of Rudyard Kipling, who was killed in his first battle in WW1 i'll try and send you a link on it My Boy Jack - ITV Drama The official ITV home of My Boy Jack on ITV Period Drama at ITV Drama; i...

I agree. as much as I like Greer Garson i believe Mrs Miniver to be overrated. while Celia played a working class wife in and mum in THB, Greer played a wife of a well off Walter Pidgeon. i thought it weird their son was marrying above himself with Teresa Wright when his own family was loaded.

In American terms i suppose that Norman Wisdom's only known film is The Night They Raided Minskys with Jason Robards and Britt Ekland, but he was as big a star in Albania of all places as he was in the UK. this is an injustice because at his pk he was a giant in British film comedy and worthy of a b...

Peter Sellers first became a star in the UK with the hugely popular radio show The Goons with Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe and it the early yrs Michael Bentine. it was mostly written by Spike, who was clearly influenced by The Marx Brothers, but he in turn was with the show a big influence on Monty...

it's funny because i agree at the time Diana Rigg was best of The Avenger girls. however, in recent yrs it's the younger element that are doing better. Linda Thorson, who played Tara King right after Diana Rigg left the show recently did about a yr in the British soap Emerdale which is set in a York...

if Vera Miles wasn't a great beauty in her early films she made up for it her when she made The Hellfighters. i think mainly it was the short haircut that did the trick, plus the 60s fashions which really suited her figure. i think too, she was one of John Wayne's best leading ladies of that particu...

As fas i believe Kay was happy to play unglamorous roles at such a young age, her early 40s. it still seems a bit of a shame though, because she was still a looker. i enjoy watching her in everything, including Greyfiars Bobby, but it was a strange bit of casting to put a woman of 51, i think, in th...

I was just thinking that Honor Blackman in the States is soley known for her 60s roles from Goldfinger, through to westerns like Shalko and the highly underrated Something Big with Brian Keith and Dean Martin. in the early 70s she also did a good Columbo with Richard Baseheart. however, she's had a ...
