Diana Rigg

[martin1tcf]

Pretty sure in the first series (maybe even first episode) of BBC series "Diana" there was a sketch were she was playing a Diva getting ready to go onstage and talking to her dresser (Karan David - also gorgeous by the way). Anyway at the end of the piece Diana removes dressing gown to expose breasts with only nipple tassles to cover her modesty. Anybody have/verify??

I assume this wasn't her short-lived American sitcom, "Diana," but a Brit telly show with the same name? Verify, by all means. And does anyone have it on tape? Has it ever been issued in home video? Pardon me while I take a cold shower . . .

In the episode, she plays the wee pipes while Patrick Macnee, clad in a kilt, does a dance. A sidelight is that Jim Steranko liked the story so much that he stole the plot for an episode of the Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D Marvel comic.

The second pic of the lady is from her first movie, The Assassination Bureau, which was in color. The globe she's holding in her hand is a bomb, which is ticking . . .

Now, I wonder, should I delete one of the quoted pictures; or maybe both of them? . . .

P.S. Oops, got the title of the Avengers episode slightly wrong, as I realized when Sylvan did his splendid post following this one. It's Castle De'ath, rather than D'Eath. Great post, Sylvan!

Thanks to Carolaholic for the pictures of Diana doing the feather-fan dance. These go some way to make up for the disappointment of going to see an afternoon matinee performance of 'Follies' in London in 1988 specially to see Diana do a striptease during the performance - only to learn, on arrival at the theatre, that she had gone to the Chelsea Flower Show and her understudy was on instead!

Well, I can tell you, you didn't miss anything. I went to a Gala performance of that show, and she did the striptease but showed absolutely nothing. I can't believe I didn't go to see her nude in Abelard & Heloise (?spelling) when that was on in the West End

Carolaholic need have no fear that Dame Diana has retired. She and her daughter are to appear together in the latest series of Doctor Who as mother and daughter, in an episode written specifically for Dame Diana. From the on-set photo that appeared in the papers, it is set in Victorian times.

Thank for the pics. I can't place the one in the center, in which the lady has something like a hood over her head, but the one on the left, where she's wearing a Beatles cap, is from The Winged Avenger, and the one on the right, where (bare-headed) she's looking at a parabolic reflector (supposedly, it's a laser, built into a car) is from From Venus with Love.
