Yes, I really liked John Steed and Diana Rigg in the original Avengers.
I can't stand Joanna Lumley, and those Gurkhas aren't all they're made out to be.
RIP John - a sad day for all.
Wikepedia: He was educated at Summer Fields School and Eton College, where he was a member of the Officer Training Corps and was one of the guard of honour for King George V at St George's Chapel in 1936. He was later expelled from Eton for selling pornography and being a bookmaker for his fellow students.[2]
