Re: Diana.... Random Pics
The Strange Case of the Missing Fighting Suit Diana Rigg is wearing the second of two fight suits by John Bates in photo. The second was never worn in a episode as far as I know. Was it rejected ? https://i.ibb.co/qpL7khY/b09.png From John Bates Book. Wonderful. I love seeing design sketches. Yeah,...

Re: That Hallway Looks Familiar!
Elstree studios had a scenery store filled with stock elements (usually built for whatever big budget movie came to film there). Solid sets were expensive to build as they included scaffolding to hold them together - as a result they'd get redressed and repainted and used for a couple of episodes. T...

Re: The Avengers: The Cathy Gale Years (Via Vision Entertainment)
If they'd had any restoration, I would be impressed. I do think that being a niche release from within a niche interest makes it unlikely but having subtltles is a step forward.
Oh for a day where the sound gets fixed!!!!

Re: Why Elizabeth Shepard Got Cut As Emma
When I corresponded with Liz a few years ago, I very much got the impression that the set up and production schedule for "The Avengers" simply didn't allow for cast input and didn't allow for collaboration. By comparison, if you take a look at her in Granada's amazing and extraordinary &q...

Re: The early/videotaped seasons
I could tell the awful wrong pitch-shifting on Legacy of Death in the "corrected" Canal set though... maybe their quality controller had "clothier" ears than me! Well we know from Jaz Wiseman that Canal's "quality control" on the dvd would have included every episode h...

Re: The early/videotaped seasons
I'm certainly no expert on these things but, from what I understand, noise reduction reduces the hiss and crackle of the sound. Yet if it is applied indiscriminately then it takes out all the nuance out of the sound. Sound is made up of different frequencies - high, low and mid and noise reduction c...

Re: The early/videotaped seasons
The sound is desperately in need of a proper restoration - Canal gave the videotape episodes a blanket noise reduction and wrecked them!

Re: Is This Diana Rigg?
Definitely not Diana on location at Allington Castle in Maidstone, Kent. Neither Diana or Patrick went to the location, they just appeared in cut-in shot done at locations near Elstree Studios.
It's a female extra doubling as Emma Peel - her hair is a lot lot thicker than Diana's.
