The replacement for Mrs. Emma Peale was Tara KING.

In The New Avengers, Steed's companions were Purdy and GAMBIT.

And now for a shot at the trivia questions (but I admit I can't get
most of them).

The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. was played by Stephanie Powers (I think).

Blofield was the central villian in ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE
and DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. He was played by Telly Savalas in the former
and by some English stage actor in the second.  Incidentally this 
second actor, whatever his name is, also played the narrator in
ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.

Mrs. Bond was played by Diana Rigg (she was busy back then) in 
ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE.  She got wasted by Blofield
just as she and Bond were driving away from their wedding.  
She was also mentioned by Barbara Bach in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME.
As soon as Bach mentioned Bond's wedding she found that she
struck a nerve in Bond's memory.

That's my best shot. 
And now for a little trivia of my own.

In THE NEW AVENGERS, Purdy was played by the actress Joanna Lumdsey(sp?).
In what Bond flick did Lumdsey have an extremely short appearance?

In THE AVENGERS, what was Mother's handicap? (physical not golf)

Where did the secret entrance of U.N.C.L.E. move to in the tv movie of late?

Back to THE NEW AVENGERS, in what other famous British series did the
actor who played Gambit star in?

What other British suspense type series did Robert Vaughan star in?


	Come on Keith, I know you can do it.
