I love that the audio Tara is played by an actress called "Emily" and that Linda Thorson likes her. My daughter was named Emily in honour of The Avengers (Emma seemed too on-the-nose but we do call her Emily for short) i.e. the final episode of The New Avengers on TV. Nicer to be named after a beloved car than a person :)
Last watched: "Mandrake"

speaking of that particular model of Fiat, has anyone remembered actually seeing that model on the streets, after the show ended ? if not, then the car museum was it's resting place...for from I can see from the photos, they all look like they have suffered from typical severe rusting..that seemed to plague Fiats...especially in North America, as they ended up being true rust buckets..

4 left out of the original six..not a bad ratio..

Emily is a nice name. I'm pretty sure Emily Woodward, who plays Tara, is the daughter of the late Edward Woodward who starred in Callan and The Equalizer .

Yes, according to imdb, Edward Woodward is "the father (with Venetia Barrett) of Tim Woodward, Peter Woodward and Sarah Woodward. He and fellow actress Michele Dotrice are the parents of yet another actress, Emily Woodward."

I do love him in Callan. an amazing series that I only discovered a couple of years ago, which was far different from the "thick-ear" action series I thought it would be. A brilliant character brought to life by a brilliant actor.

Michele Dotrice is a great actor too, and I've always admired her dad Roy Dotrice. They've given us a lot to enjoy.

Darn, I forgot that Edward was in the Wicker Man....and turned down a cameo in the 2005 remake......hard to believe he passed away in 2009....
