Patrick MacNee was Handsome as Steed!

Loved the show as a teenager when it came to A&E(Arts & Entertainment) back in the 1990s'. As I first saw Patrick on the mini-series "Around the World in 80 Days" with a then pre-Bond Pierce Brosnan. But really got to know him as John Steed from this show. As I loved him and the show. Patrick was very handsome, witty, charming, the perfect secret agent. With great females. He was the only constant cast member as people like Rigg, Blackman, etc came and went. Without Steed, there would be no Avengers!

Not even Ralph Fienns can top the guy off. THERE IS ONLY ONE STEED!

Yeah as I think that there is only one Steed, as is one Patrick MacNee. And that Patrick got along with everybody from Rigg to Blackman. Both on and off the set I hear!

"And that Patrick got along with everybody from Rigg to Blackman. Both on and off the set I hear!" Yep, in a totally platonic way (Blackman was happily married!).
