Reflecting on the death of Dame Diana this week i wondered if anyone else remembers the chilling series "Mother Love" in which she starred many moons ago. It was addictive viewing! I was able to watch on Youtube Broadcast Yourself for a while but it has been removed. Would buy a DVD if one were available.

Just a feeling of sadness that all these people we followed and loved in our younger days are passing away. Guess it's inevitable.

Yes, it is sad BlueSky but as you say inevitable. I loved The Avengers and was allowed to stay up late on Saturdays especially to watch it.

She was intelligent, beautiful and never flaunted herself as I could see. I still get a bit taken aback when my near contemporaries die.

Yes, one of her best roles. I mentioned it on the other thread.

J52 Oops! Had not realised that there was another thread Apologies. Glad you enjoyed it. On the Avengers subject my second tortoise was named Emma Peel!

So sad. I have been enjoying her as Trickie Pooh’s ‘mother’ in the new All Creatures Great &Small. She must have become ill very soon after making that. I know it was a short illness.
I loved her in the Avengers too and many other roles after that.

Good job I reviewed this Avengers came out as Android Veneers’. Many thanks, Spellcheck

Wonderful actress - so watchable in everything she did. Just seen her as Tricky Woo's owner in the new All Creatures .... Sadly missed.
RIP flowers

Ngaiol I also looked for a DVD or You tube version. I only found a shirt you tube snippet of some lines, even those were spine chilling.
Can’t do a link but easily found.
