RIP Emma Peel

[Tony Tony Tony]

Diana Rigg has passed away at the age of 82.

RIP Emma Peel

And of course the two things everyone knows (or should) about Diana Rigg;
1. The name Emma Peel was chosen because she had 'Man Appeal'
2. Her daughter is the equally talented Rachel Stirling and Diana played her Mother in Detectorists. 

[Gulftastic]

Damn shame. Fine actress and fitter than fuck in her day.

Tracy Bond Noooooooooooo!

Indeed a superb actress right up until the end. My favourite Bond girl and in those 80's channel 4 Avengers repeats. Yum.

Off to join Steed in the hereafter's penthouse in the sky.

Might seem a bit inappropriate for an RIP thread, but it's how I'd want to be remembered

Oh you will, you surely will

Ah fucking hell. Same year as Honour Blackman, too. Terribly sad. Fantastic actress and all-round brilliant person. RIP.

Linda Thorson must be worried.

Diana RIPP.  She had a seriously fantastic elderly woman face, didn't she?  Once she was an elderly woman, that is.  Not before.  That would be silly.  Unless it was a different elderly woman's face and she kept it in a jar.

Rigg frigged

[Gulftastic]

She had legs. She knew how to use them.

And here's Dame Emma in the SouthStand at Headingley.

A good egg, a great actress and frickin' beautiful.

RIP.

I knocked one out thinking about her just the other day. I'm off to have a wank about Boris Johnson, you never know. RIP.

Yes but clearly has no fucking clue how to use a chair. I'm glad she's dead if she went around putting her dirty shoes on seats.

[Gulftastic]

They've all got dirty shoes by the time etc...etc...

Tony Way said she called him a cunt for beating her at chess on the GOT set when i was at the I was there too recording in Londons which is great

[El Unicornio, mang]

I didn't even recognise her in GoT, probably due to the 50 year gap between it and the last thing I remembered seeing her in. Although she was also in one of my faves, Evil Under the Sun.

With the way she seemed to love swearing in GoT (seriously look at the relish on her face) I believe it.

R.I.P. My dear.

I've always loved the look of adoration whatsisfuss gives her in that opening sequence, as she's straighting the flower in his lapel.

[buttgammon]

I watched The Avengers when I was about 14 and I think she destroyed part of my brain.

Off topic, but I thought Tony Way played the builder in the Architects' Fish & Chips episode of Posh Nosh, but apparently it was someone called Stephen Powell.
