RIP Patrick.
Very sad news indeed, a legend gone.

RIP Patrick.
Awww...RIP. I loved The Avengers
Was it a poisoned umbrella?
A gentleman and a bowler!
Macnee’s mother took refuge in a circle of friends that included Tallulah Bankhead and the madam Mrs Meyrick, before absconding with a wealthy lesbian, Evelyn. Young Patrick was brought up by the pair and was instructed to call Evelyn “Uncle”. He managed to resist their efforts to dress him as a girl, wearing a kilt as a compromise. His father fled to India, from where he was later expelled for urinating off a balcony onto the heads of the Raj’s elite, gathered below for a race-meeting.

Evelyn financed Macnee’s education, first at Summerfields — where he first acted, playing opposite Christopher Lee — and then Eton. His corruption began when he was introduced to whisky by the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Cardiff, who had escaped into the garden with a bottle when brought in to consecrate Evelyn’s private chapel. Macnee was then expelled from Eton for running a pornography and bookmaking empire.

Jomlett, I hope you don't do my obituary
Steed RIP, and thanks for the Avengers
Oh NO! So sad to lose him. Always so urbane and slightly sexy without being threatening, one of my earliest heart-throbs. I hope the Avenger ladies give him good reports. That's him and Spock this year, I'm beginning to feel old. R.I.P.
The obit would probably have to say he was an entrepreneur who knew his market?
that's very sad - still one (or more) of my all time favourite series, and he was all charm and wit.
I loved the original Avengers. Mainly for Diana Rigg though, not McNee.

The Telegraph Obit is superb.
My goodness ! One of my teenage hero's gone !

The suavest man in Britain, without a doubt !
I thought they were both great, partly for the way they played off each other. He was less interesting with Honor Blackman, and I gave up shortly after Joanna Lumley took Rigg's place and it became too self-consciously wacky. In its time it was genuinely groundbreaking though, there was nothing else on TV like it.
He lived to a good age at 93yrs and I bet his life was really interesting. R.I.P Patrick Macnee. x
A great actor. I loved the avengers, what I can remember of it. RIP Patrick.
Jno,
You are missing Tara King played by Linda Thorson.

She came after Rigg and before Lumley.
true, Gromit. There may be a reason why I've forgotten her. I do recall her announcing herself as Tara and being suprised that Steed, unlike everyone else, didn't respond with "ra boom de ay". But that's about it.
