C'mon be honest ! Anyone else into the Diana Rigg / Patrick Macnee classics ? The plots, such as they are, suggest that the imagination of the writer was aided and abetted by the use of hallucinogenic drugs. This, lunatic adversaries with the most outrageous schemes to either bring down the government, or to achieve world domination from an unlikely venue, such as a funeral directors, or a butler training centre, contribute towards making the programmes hugely entertaining, and pretty unique.
The combination of Emma Peel and her lotus Elan is SO 60's, and is iconic. My girlfriend and I are ploughing our way through them all. I'm lucky to have someone in my life who is crazy enough to join me voluntarily in this binge watching exercise !
'The house that Jack built' ( 1966 B&W ) is a must watch classic, and 'The hour that never was', (1966 B&W), is another favourite of mine. It features a very young Roy Kinnear. 'The Cybernauts (1965 B&W + 1967 colour) Are also essential 60's viewing. There are loads of episodes that are worthy of your attention ! I lost interest when Diana Rigg was replaced by Linda Thorson, but the Diana Rigg legacy is something to be treasured.
