      The Avengers with Emma Peel was by far the best. Loved it. Sad day. RIP.

          I only ever knew her as a host of Masterpiece Theater: Home | Masterpiece | Official Site | PBS[^]

            She appeared in Theatre of Blood, a dark comedy in which Vincent Price played a Shakespearean actor who sets out to murder the critics who panned him, killing each of them by re-staging a death scene from one of Shakespeare's plays. The actors who played the critics were actually all renowned British Shakespearean actors. One of my all-time favourite films.

              Thank you - I need to hunt this one down. (Sounds like VP was typecast for a while - this sounds like the basic plot of Dr. Phibes as well, although that was killing via the curses of Egypt)

                You will not be disappointed. A lot of good performances, especially VP, Diana Rigg, and Robert Morley.

                        OMG! :omg: This brings back memories. Is this the best opening titles (and theme tune) of any TV program? Ever!
