Book Reviews of The Avengers and Me
Book Review: A Chat with the Actor behind one of TV's most Popular Series
Summary: 4 Stars
Reading this book is like having a personal chat with Patrick MacNee as he recounts his experiences while making the avengers series. He is unassuming and generous in praising his co-stars, and colleagues although he is critical of some people who were behind the scenes. Patrick downplayed his own capabilities and contribution to the series. Sure he had the support of many good female partners, but his own character was very integral to the series. Wild and outrageous ladies with this gentleman spy to balance the story.
The author also reflects on how he might handled things differently with his co-stars, vis-a-vis the producers, if he could do it again. As an avengers fan, i always wondered why Diana Rigg did not stay for more than 2 seasons. I also thought that the Linda Thorson series was under-rated. Some answers are offered in this book and i am glad i read it.
Though the stories were fantastic, and sometimes ludicrous, but it was a fun series to watch.
I also think Patrick deserves a little more credit han he has given himself in this book.
