VERY SAD news yesterday, Dame Diana Rigg, one of the UK's most distinguished and popular actresses, passed away at the age of 82. Only 48 hours earlier, she was on our t.v. screens here in a revamped version of the old t.v. series "All Creatures Great and Small", based on the vet books by James Herriot. But people of a certain age will, of course, remember her as Mrs. Emma Peel, clad in all that leather, in the 1960s t.v. series "The Avengers" but she did lots of t.v. and film work and was a distinguished stage actress too. R.I.P. Dame Diana
