Patrick has died


Just read the sad news of his death. What a shame and what a loss.

He will always be the suave and charming Steed to me. R.I.P Patrick and all sympathies to his family and friends.



Go to bed Frank or this is going to get ugly .

Sad, sad news. First Sir Christopher Lee, now his old school friend Patrick Macnee. June 2015 is officially my worst ever month.

Frankly i watched The Avengers more for Diana Rigg, and found the later versions (even with the great Joanna Lumley) rather lacking. But even with Diana the show would have been much less worthy than with the inestimable Patrick Macnee. In other words it was the two of them together that made this such a great show.

I was very sorry to hear of his death. In real life he sounded like he was quite a fellow as well. I suppose it is of some consolation that he died with his family around him.

A very sad loss of both Patrick and Christopher, two great actors I would like to have met. Patrick particularly as John Steed defined class and elegance in the 60's. At least both actors lived to a great old age.

The all time greatest TV persona as the incomparable "John Steed"!!!
