Her name is Diana Rigg regardless of some royal courtesy title. When I ogled her in the 60s, she was Diana Rigg. This is a retrospective piece, so being anachronistic about it is senseless. Wherein in my piece do I call her RIGGS anyway? I re-read it and can't find that. We still call Judi Dench, Judi Dench and Laurence Oliver Laurence Olivier, not "the late Lord Laurence Olivier." Calling a person by their actual name is not incorrect. There' a hint of sarcasm and knowing hypocrisy in my use of 'fanboy' that eluded you. So, in a nutshell I erred on the Mrs. Emma Peel vs. the Miss. I haven't watched the show in years, and like I said, it was written from the recollection of childhood, not as someone who is a member of the Avengers fan club or an Avengers trivia master. Thanks for the smiley ;-) -Evan Thanks for reading and for taking the time to delineate various subtleties. Her name is Diana Rigg regardless of some royal courtesy title.

Whilst you are calling us 'fanboys' and 'pathetic' when talking about about Diana Rigg please get the name of one of the most famous TV characters right - it's Mrs Emma Peel (not Miss) and also, just for future reference she is known as Dame Diana rather Dame Rigg and her surname is Rigg not Riggs - for some reason people on the other side of the pond manage to get these three simple things wrong 85% of the time. I know you got her surname right but I wouldn't be surprised if you were to mention her title you would say Dame Rigg - sorry 'pathetic' and 'fanboy' just got to me on this dull Saturday morning here in London! A pathetic fanboy - of a certain age now :) Hey!
