Not the Queen of Sin!!!
A part of me just died, too. I grew up with The Avengers. And I loved seeing her more recently in The Detectorists and this last week she was on TV in the UK in the new remake of ‘All Creatures Great and Small’.
(I don’t know how many episodes she recorded, but in the original her character was intermittently included in the odd storyline, so if it gets a second series they may have to recast or exclude that character and those storylines.)

Waaaah! I had no idea that had been remade. Thank you!
Episode 2 was on ITV this week. As remakes go (and we all know all the storylines - especially as it is all based on the book) it’s a cut above the norm, I’d say.
OK - you are going to have to provide a citation for that image.
That’s big shoes to fill!
Perfection.
Her cat suit is on display at the Spy Museum in Washington, DC.
Detectorists was a great, great show.
I know! I have seen it! (Also an mind-boggling number of things for hiding stuff in your butt)
As a kid, I liked the episode where they are at a toy store for some reason, and fight the bad guys with toys.
I assume a similar episode of Get Smart was a parody.
Wasn’t it? Just perfect. I got teary at the final episode which just wrapped things up so well. I’m ready to move to Surrey and buy a metal detector and maybe even a TR7 (or maybe not).
Maybe the old Code of Spying precluded looking there?
Maybe it’s like that line from High Fidelity:
"Do I put things up my butt because I’m a spy?
Or did I become a spy because I put things up my butt"
Pretty sure that’s the line.
RIP a truly Grand Dame.
