“Here I am with Tara king and Cathy Gale themselves played by Linda Thorson and the late Honor Blackman respectively at The Avengers 50th Celebrations held with great style at Chichester University.

“Now that was a weekend…..it was Linda’s birthday last week and she’s not only looking fantastic but is still more than capable of lobbing a grown man over her shoulder. My kind of gal.”
