Mr Macnee - You are and have always been the consummate actor and gentlemen. I thank you for the joy you have given, and continue to give to the entertainment industry.

I've always enjoyed your work and when my son was born thought Patrick would be a fine name for him! My husband and I enjoy watching the Avenger series on DVD and remember with fondness watching them for the first time thirty years ago! Thanks - Nancy Kennedy

Hello Mr Steed In France I have bought the avengers with Miss Gale; I'have never senn them before, and I am surprosed of the high level of these episodes ( I knew the avengers from M. Peel to the Purdey new avengers...). So thank you Mr Steed! David.

I have been a fan of yours since childhood. I remember watching The Avengers on the sly as my father thought it too violent and forbid me to watch it. To me , you'll always be the ultimate, most stylish persona of 'Cool'!

VERY GOOS SITE FOR VERY ACTOR !!!! MR STEED GREATINGS FOR TANDIL , ARGENTINA . www.tandil.com

Dear Patrick When I was growing up in the 1970's The New Avengers was my favorite TV programme. I later discovered the Avengers, which then became my favorite programme and continues to be to this day. The style of the show is just fantastic, and leaves you wanting more each time you watch. I have followed your career and seen you in many films and TV shows, in all you have been excellent. Best wishes to you and yours Thanks for years of watching pleasure Mike ps Great website

I am 63 years old, and just the right age to truly have enjoyed THE AVENGERS and THE NEW AVENGERS, however I'm sure most everyone in those years, must have enjoyed those great TV episodes. Thank's. Just wish I could see repeats again. Mind you I remeber you well in films too. One that comes to mind was the " Cruel Sea" along with the great Jack Hawkins. Best wishes. Mearns Forge

I LOVE THE AVENGERS J'aimerai beaucoup que la série existe de nouveau avec vous comme dirigeant de la nouvelle série et moi en Emma Peel il faudrait juste trouver quelqu'un, un bon acteur pour jouer votre role John Steed. Faire revivre cette merveilleuses série, quel bonheur!

Merci pour tous les bons moments que vous me faites passer quand je regarde les épisodes de Chapeau Melon et Bottes de cuir. J'adore tellement cette série que j'en ai même fait mon sujet de recherche pour ma 4e année de fac! Bisous.

Sadly my uncle - John Junkin - died earlier today. He was in two episodes of The Avengers - and got me Patrick's autograph when I was a boy.

I have been rewatching The Avengers as of late, It is so refreshing. I feel as if the world still has hope. Steed and Mrs. Peel really are needed. Great website. Thankyou Mr. Macnee. Lynn McAlister

Mr. Macnee has always exuded one trait few others can attain - class. It is easy to see why so many others have enjoyed his work. His performances are a testament to his professionalism. Thank you Mr. Macnee for making life a bit more enjoyable.

Hi, my name is Olivia. I am 12 years old and we live in Bellingham Washington. In Novemeber 2005 we started watching The Avengers with Diana Rigg. Now we have seen all of them. My favorites are The Joker, Castle De'ath and a Sense of History. It was dissapointing to have seen all of them, but its always fun to watch them again. Thank you for making the Avengers so great, and here is my brother Owen. Hi I am Owen. I am 8 and a big fan of The Avengers.I am also a fan of England and I plan to go to England some time soon. If I go to England I will go to the Bridge Farm from You Have Just Been Murdered. Dear Mr. Macnee, I remember well watching the Avengers with my mother(she adored the show)when I was the same age as Olivia and Owen. My wife and I have certainly enjoyed watching the series with our children. Thank you! -- Jeff J. P.S. The episode "Silent Dust" is a nice nod to the theme of Rachel Carson's ecological work "Silent Spring."

I have always enjoyed watching the Avengers and all shows/movies that you have been in. Love, Linda

WHAT A WONDERFUL TV EXPERIENCE DURING MY YOUTH,TO WATCH THE AVENGERS. STEED IN HIS BLOWER BENTLEY AND MRS. PEEL IN HER LOTUS. YES THOSE WERE IMPECCABLE DAYS OF GOOD CHEER. AND LINDA THORSON WAS AS SINFULLY SEXUAL AS THE FEMALE LEAD AFTER DIANNA RIGGS DEPARTURE,ALTHOUGH MY LATE FATHER USED TO JUST GROWL WHENEVER DIANNA RIGG WAS ON THE SCREEN. AHH THE DAYS PAST OF WONDERFUL FANTASY WITH A DASH OF BRITISH CANDOR. PATRICK MACNEE REMINDS ME OF THE CHARACTER "AMOS BURKE" PORTRAYED BY GENE BARRY ON "BURKES LAW" ALSO BACK IN THE WONDERFUL 60"S. THANK YOU.

Patrick MacNee is one of the finest actors around today. He is the embodiment of quality. With a voice like his, you know you are getting quality verbiage and smooth entertainment. Not only was his John Steed an incredible role which was well- acted. When he played Count Iblis in "Battlestar:Galactica", you were just pleased to be watching. That was one of the best episodes of the original series because of the performance Mr. MacNee gave. As Tibbet in the James Bond film "View To A Kill", he was in his element. Back to "Battlestar:Galactica", his narration of the opening credits of the series was superb. I look forward to seeing and hearing more from Mr. MacNee. He is a delightful presence in anything he does. Reagan McLane

THANKS FOR ALL THE ENTERTAINMENT

I'm quite glad that I found this site. I've been a long time fan. I really miss watching the "Avengers". I didn't realize how much until my wife bought the Avengers DVD for me at Christmas. I watched them too fast! Now I have to watch them all over again. Thank you! Duane

I've been to a dozen Natpe conventions over the years and met tons of celebrities. I've told my wife that the BEST moment of them all came in meeting Patrick Macnee and getting my picture made with him several years ago. I even have Tivo set up to capture "Macnee moments". Glad I found this website.

Being a parent of six children, it is most difficult to explain the reality of life in that often it is boring. In my youth, 'The Avengers' were to say the least a short diversion from life's boredom. As an adult I find the adventure on screen just as titilating. Though odd, sometimes I feel that John Steed is in me. That suave, cool approach is just so perfect. I'd look odd twirling an umbrella around my shop or in the street, however I dress impeccably and find cooler heads do prevail, just before I knock you out with a rounder. Thank you Joh Steed.

Have always been a fan of The Avengers.

was a friend of charles gray. always said wondrous things of you. if ever you are in the states, please visit.

The Avengers Forever! Thank you mr. John Steed

I have been and Avengers fan ever since I first saw it on American TV nearly 40 years ago. I loved it then, and I still love it now when I watch it on BBC America. Thank you for all ov your great work. Also, A Christmas Carol is one of my all-time favorite movies.

FELICITACIONES SIEMPRE CON ESA SIMPATIA QUE TE CARACTERIZA QUE ME HACE ACORDAR A JHON STEED JEJEJEJE UN ABRAZO CHIPOTE FONTAN

pat, you don't care if i call you pat, i just love your show the avengers, i used to watch it when i was in high school. it was great!!! i liked emma peel the best, then tara king, even tho i never saw the other shows till just a few years ago, it still was not as good as the ones with diane rigg .well i wish you would make a tv movie some 30 years later,i think it would really do great, gotta go,take care.gary.

Thanks for all the wonderful years as John Steed. Still my all time favorite tv series! At 53 now I watched them as a teen and still get wrapped up in the plots everytime I re-watch them.

Hi Patrick, Just watching reruns with Joanna on uk tv, has taken me right back to when I lived in the uk.I am sure I remember the Avengers originally starting with you and Ian Hendry, I think he played the part of a doctor in the series. I realise you are extremely busy but would be really grateful if you could confirm this for me. Best wishes Ray

I Have had a very pleasant time watching your performance expecially in the avengers and I am pleased that BBC 4 is repeating such programme. Thank you for the pleasure you have given me and my family.

Happy Birthday Patrick MacNee. Best wishes for your continued good health and happiness. I bought the complete Emma Peel set for myself for my birthday in December. Many thanks for the many hours of enjoyment I have had watching "The Avengers"

I am a 57 year old and loved the 60s and 70s for it's T V entertainment. I especially preferred English drama over American drama (and still do)and must say, my "idol" in those days was Patrick. I often fanticised about being Steed. I would love to see a re-run of "The Avengers" and wonder whether It will ever be shown here in N Z. Well done Patrick and is it true that the Hillman Avenger was named after the show??

We wish you, the most dapper of gentlemen, a splendid birthday celebration!

H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y !!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy the day and may you enjoy friends, family and good health! Happy Birthday, Patrick! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU AND THANKS FOR THE PLEASURE THAT I HAD-and that i always have-WATCHING THE AVENGERS. MERCI. Hélène.

Happy birthday, Mr. Macnee.

Dear Sir: I noticed that today (Feb 6th) is your birthday. I have been a fan of yours for many years and wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday, and many more. I searched the internet for this web site and read about your fighting terrorism. I am a retired detective sergeant who now works in security and appreciated that aspect of your life. I have also joined community theatre and I am in rehearsals now for Arsenic and Old Lace. Reciting lines, and remembering my cues and blocking is a lot tougher than I imagined. But it's fun. Best wishes. Tom Hissong

I love this man! Such class - he and Mrs. Peel were the best!

Happy Birthday Mr. Macnee! May you have many more!

I would like to know how it is possible that you can stay healthy having such a stressful job. Admiration for your performances since the Emma Peel period and ever since I've seen a documentary in which you commented on your lifestyle (for instance you mentioned: no more hard licor!). Now I am in my sixties (with beginning heartproblems) and still in a stressful job (i.e. education). So I'm looking forward to your advice and wishing you and your loved-ones all the best! Greetings Wil

Hello Patrick: It's certainly been a very long time since we knew each other in 1959 or thereabouts...in Santa Monica Canyon. My Cory was a tiny baby then (now 47) and living with me. Rupert sends me a Xmas card every year. Hope you are well and enjoying your senior years. Love, Ann

To a most wonderful actor - I thoroughly enjoyed all your Avenger shows. I hope to see you on television in some capacity soon - you are that enjoyable to watch.

It is nice to see that Mr. McNee has a website. I have enjoyed his entertaining for many years. There is something about a proper British gentleman that is most refreshing and invigorating, especially today when there is such a lack of civility.

Thank You for the wonderful work you have done these many years. As a child in the 60's I watched the Avengers late at night, and thought your smooth and suave style was the greatest. As an adult I learned to appreciate your other works just as well. To a wonderful actor and a real pro, but above all, to a man who personifies the word CLASS. I know you have a birthday coming up on 2/6. All my best wishes to you! Forrest Hicks

Mr.Macnee, You are one of my most favorite actors from both film and TV and on stage.

Patrick, the wife and I have always enjoyed watching your work on the Avengers. You have brought so much charm and class to TV and are a inspiration to anyone who truly cares about living life in the "old word" tradition of manners and sophisication. cheers! Jon

Dear Patrick, I have been a fan of your for many years. I was just wondering what your future plans are, and most of all, just wishing you the very very best! Nora M.

Mr. Macnee, Just want to thank you for all the years of entertainment from your work. I still remember watching the Avengers with my dad every week when I was in primary school. I have also enjoyed your work as Host of various UFO shows on the Sci Fi channel. I I have several of your shows on VHS and DVD on UFOs and Ghost Stories.

Thank you for sharing a little of yourself here. My visit has been most iluminating.I must add that I am gratefull to see the Avengers being shown again on BBC 4. With hope the charm, grace and civility you showed us once before will help remind us all the true essence of being a gentleman.

Hello Pat! Remember our tennis 'knock-ups' by the Chichester Festival Theatre way back in 1979? I still have the photo of us taken by dear Gerald Campion. I will try and send you a copy by e-mail (that's if I guess your correct e-mail address). Perhaps you'd like to let me know if it comes through successfully or otherwise. In the meantime, I'll send your best regards to Bosham!! Kind regards and love Pat

Always admired your telivision & film performances.

Script for theatrical film which is entitled "SONS OF THE AVENGERS" delayed due to arguement over writers salaries. Will update as soon as possible. Contacting Mr. MACNEE'S good friend GREG EVIGAN from tv series "P.S. I LUV YOU" quite soon. EVIGAN is to be cast in "SONS OF THE AVENGERS" as B./J. (BILLIE JOE) McKAY from his classic tv series "B./J. & THE BEAR"!

The best of the very best secret agents: John Steed, James Bond, and Number 6 (Patrick McGohan). Excellent in View to a Kill. Sorry to see the character eliminated. I like Diana Rigg the best on The Avengers, but Linda Thorson did pick up the pace near the end of the series. Your style was my style. Loved the boots and the three piece suits.

Just got the 16 DVD disc set of the Emma Peel Avengers collection for Christmas. Thank you Patrick Mcnee and Diana Rigg (and others) for your time, efforts, long hours, retakes, make-up and shooting snafus, endless rehearsals, and memorizing many scripts. All your hard work is appreciated, and will be for years to come. A fan.

We have been fans for many years and hardly ever missed an episode of The Avengers. Just love your voice.

As child in the 60's I used to watch The Avengers every week. I have only recently discovered the reruns are on BBC America and when I get a chance I try to watch them. I must confess that one of the reasons I watched The Avengers was because of Diana Rigg. She is absolutely beautiful in that role. And of course you looked very suave and dapper in those fine tailored British suits and boller (I think that's what it's called) hat. A number of years ago, I believe I saw you at the L.A. Times Book Festival at UCLA sitting in a booth signing one of your books. Next booth over was the late author Olivia Goldsmith. But, the reason why I was there was because my sister Whitney Otto was promoting her book, a novel called "How To Make an American Quilt" which later Steven Spielberg made into a movie. It's nice to hear that you're still working and hopefully healthly and living in beautiful Southern California. I'm familiar with the Palm Springs area because my parents used to own a house in Palm Desert. Take Care.

I should have written years ago! I would just like to say thankyou for ensuring long term enjoyment through film, television and written material. Growing up during the 90's when television and film were of such influence catch repeats of The Avengers, growing up with James Bond and recognising an actor and ensuring recognision when seen on shows such as War of the Worlds (at 4am ish) in my humble opinion is of great value. The re-watchable nature of such roles is also important, and just from those people i have met enthusiasm never wains for your role as John Steed - even though it is not your only role, for too few will not have seen you on stage (I didn't), but I ahve read reviews (few people keep a show running for 10 years without reason). Happy New Year :o) and again Thankyou.

Autant j'apprécie le personnage de John Steed et le charme désuet de la série qu'il parcourt d'un bout à l'autre ! Autant le mercantilisme de Monsieur Macnee me déplait... en être réduit à vendre des photos dédicacée à 50 dollars.... alors qu'il a engranger quelques millions depuis ses débuts ! Steed à de la classe.... Monsieur Macnee interprétait donc un rôle de composition !

Sir: I have been watching my Avenger tapes as I quilt up a storm. It would be a wonderful thing to have you, sir, as a speaker at our Inland Empire Quilters Guild - do you know anything about quilts ? You and the series gave and continue to give such great pleasure. Thank-you so much - you made and continue to make hearts go a "titter". I am impressed that you were the designer for your suits for the series. With warmest regards and best wishes for a wonderful and joyous Happy New Year. Karen E. Jones

Mr. Macnee I have been a fan since the 60's. You are a great actor. Keep up the great work. By the way, I know Birthday is coming next month. So Happy Birthday early. God bless you & your wife.

Great actor! Really lucky to have seen him either in the first series of the Avengers and the New Avengers. I really enjoyed Steed character. Also stories were simple, but at the mean time interesting and misterious. It is nice to visit this site and I am glad to know that also in real world Sir Patrick Macnee is a very active man. Hope to see him soon also in Italian TV programs. Thank you very much. Best regards.

To Patrick MacNee We spoke on the phone today (by accident.) Someone called me and then called you and connected us (three way calling). This happened to me a couple weeks ago with someone else, and the call originated from the same location in Florida. I think the person did it because my real name is John Steed and that was your character name on The Avengers. I have caller ID and the phone call originated from 561-218-4000 which is the Office Depot call center in Boca Raton Florida. So someone in that office is doing the prank phone calls. I do not know if this is the first time you had this problem, or if you are getting a lot of calls like that. If you have (or get) caller ID and see that number show up, you could avoid answering it. Anyway, I was surprised to hear your voice, but actually it was a pleasure to talk with you. Like many people, I still enjoy watching The Avengers and I have the videos. If you need my help working with the phone company to try to catch the prankster, I have the exact time of the call (if that helps.) I am not sure which of my phone numbers they called me on, but it was either 616-364-5503 or 616-866-9422 John Steed

Hi Patrick, I started watching The Avengers recently since BBC4 have started showing it on Friday nights, and I have really enjoyed the episodes that I have seen to date. I find the show a lot more entertaining that most of the new programs on TV these days. Chris

From the Avengers to 007, I really have enjoyed you. Which performance did you enjoy the best? I attend the Southern California Renewal Conference in September. Have your ever attended? Do you know James Brooks? People say that he is my distant cousin but I have never investigated it. Happy New Year Sir Patrick!

I remember as a child being forced to go to bed when the Avengers came on. I always thought it was cool when you would pull out the umbrella sword and pluck the carnation and toss it to Mrs. Peel. I didn't get to watch The Avengers until I was an adult. I'm scarred for life. hehehe! Now I own the Emma Peel episodes on DVD. I always thought you were the picture of the consumate Englishman. Polite, well mannered, but not afraid to kick someone's butt if they needed it. Being able to trace my ancestry to the earliest Holbrook to be found buried in Cheshire in the late 1600's, I find all things English interesting. Thank you for giving me that picture in yourself. I hope to explore your illustrious career further. I recognized your voice early in the Battlestar Galactica opening. I have always thought you had the most amazing voice. I see I shall have to obtain your reading of the Bible. Thank you again for being what you are.

My father recorded some of "The Avengers" for me a few years ago when TVLand ran a marathon right before the release of the movie. He knew that I loved (and love) sixties television, especially spy/detective shows, and thought I might become a fan. Today, and many A&E VHS/DVD sets later, there's no longer any doubt. After Mr. Steed, my favorite performance is in "Rehearsal for Murder." I'll never stop watching...

Patrick I wanted to thank you for the years of superb entertainment you have provided, especially The Avengers series which I grew-up watchingfrom the 60's and now see my own teenagers avidly watching for hours-on-end. A superb and ground-breaking contribution to family entertainment which has spanned so many years and which has never been bettered. I hope you are keeping well and wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season...

Patrick, I just received my signed John Steed photo for Christmas......best present in years. Thank you very much. I became a big fan watching the Avengers as a kid. I couldn't imagine anyone else in the role. Recently watched (and taped) the episodes again on BBC America. I plan to one day get some of your other work. Anything you'd recommend (I know there's a lot)? Thanks again, hope you're having/had a good holiday.

Dear Mr. Macnee, I would like to wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Wouter

After watching "A Christmas Carol" for the "umpteenth" time, I was wondering if Mr. Macnee realized at the time of playing young Marley, that the film was going to end up being the definitive interpretation of the work. Also how was Alistar Sims to work with? I just found the site. I will be back.

Loved the Avengers and New Avengers Patrick. Merry Christmas.

Love the original Avengers

Patrick, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Wishing you and your family a safe and healthy new year. I'm about half way through viewing the 65-67 Avengers Box set. Bringing back fond memories of my youth and I thank you for that. You and Diana must have had a hoot making the series. I've read that she absolutely hated doing the series, but one can not see that in her on screen persona. You must of brought out the best in her. Again, thanks for the Avengers and all your work and take care in 2006!

If you read this Patrick im 47 now but grew up with the Avengers,I still love the series, it was groundbreaking, many imitators followed, but never bettered. I think you was a lucky man to work with Diana Rigg in her prime probably the most gorgeous female on the planet. you played your part to perfection. with great humour, an everlasting testiment to your art.Have a great christmas patrick hope you stay fit, lucky, and happy. if theres the slightest possibility of an Autograph it would make my year for me! if so please email me and I will forward my full address, now im praying you read this!!! All the best patrick and thank you for making my childhood more magical and memorable. Gary. my email is... faith@faith02.wanadoo.co.uk

Patrick is the quintessential gentleman detective...I believe he was the Bond of TV in the Avenger series. I continue watching the series via DVD...

Dear Mr. Macnee:I think you are a great actor and really enjoyed the Avengers. There is a question I am wondering if you would answer for me? I had scene the 1951 version of SCROOGE. It lists you as starring but not who you played. Then, it dawned on me. Please help me out. did you play young Jacob Marley? Anyway, I hope you star in something else sometime. I like to watch you. Thank you. Sincerely, Gary Nelson SR.

I am a huge fan of the Avengers, I was introduced to it by my dad a few years back and can't get enough of it. He was also a really big fan of the original battlestar galactica, and we were hoping you would be on the new one in Canada!! Love always from the USA

I have always been a big fan stemming from The Avengers and beyond. Merry Christmas and best health in the New Year.

Patrick A great web site. Long time since we spoke but no doubt from what I read you are keeping, fit, active and happy. All the best for the Festive Season and a peaceful and enjoyable New Year. Kindwest regards and sincerest best wishes, Rowan

Dear Mr. Macnee, I've been a fan of your work since first seeing "The Avengers" as a toddler. Glad that you are doing well. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Sincerly, David W. Harrington

Dear Patrick, I just rented the Avengers series from NETFLIX and it brought bcak such wonderful memories of the 60's. I always wanted to be an english gentlemen as you are, even though I am an american. You are one of my favorites! Thank you sir for being a gentleman always. Dave

My husbands favorite "Christmas Carrol" was on tonight and I saw your name so I looked up what part was played. Though we had seen it for years we never before recognized you. Usually I at least recognize a voice, but not this time. A haunting of a mornings work over half a century ago. Appropriate for the movie, I guess?

Just watching The Avengers on BBC 4. I was raised on it as a child and it still hits the spot for me now. They don't make them like that any more.

Before I awoke to the realism of real life, I was captivated by the wonderful escapism of the original Avengers. Patrick in company with Diana Rigg were my youth. Sadly I have had to grow up since. Thank you Patrick

i wish i had met you, i hear a lot about you from diana whom i met 2 years ago,we are now neighbours and i had the pleasure and privilidge of going 2 her chateau in france this year, what a wonderful woman, so thoughtful, and although she doesnt like 2 talk about herself or the avengers as you know, but she will talk about you. anyway thank you for making my childhood so memorable you will never know how much it meant 2 me as a child,maybe 1 day i will meet you, but i have the lovely diana just 1 minute down the road. must tell you a funny story maybe u can comment about it, on the way back from france in my car she was driving at 120miles per hour, excellent driver but she didnt see the gendarmes and was speeding up towards them, i said diana please dont overtake the police, has she always been such a fast driver, god bless patrick james stewart

Thanks for your website, I am working on a new radio slot for one of the programmes I produce for and it will be on Classic TV programmes. We start with the Avengers, and it has provided a wealth of facinating information about Patrick. Best wishes Janice BBC Radio Northampton

The avengers are just started a rerun on bbc4 on thursday.Great to see you back on the box in blighty.Hope things are all well with you.regards steve.

Hola Perdone que le escriba en español pero no se ingles, no sabe la grata sorpresa que me lleve al saber que usted tenia una pagina web. Yo no me perdia ningun capitulo de Los Vengadores a mi modo de ver la mejor serial que he visto en mi vida, lamentablemente aca en Chile hace mucho tiempo que no la dan y he sabido que los DVD dela serie no tienen subtitulos en español. Espero que se encuentre bien lo saludo muy afectuosamente adios

Mr Mcnee, I would like to thank you for being a major player in a show which has been very influencial in shaping the imaginative way I view the world. The Avengers is still the best programme produced by a strong British TV industry.I wish you all the best for the future may you continue to be the ultimate gentleman for many more years Martin Byrne Esq

I have enjoyed your work since the 1960's. Could not wait for the next Avengers episode and have followed your career ever since. Thank you Mr. McNee for all the wonderful memories. John T Carver

Chateau de Clarens 32110 Gers France 18/11/2005 Dear Patrick I grew up watching and loving the Avengers ! I am glad to be watching them again and wanted to thank you for this truely memourable series, you bring such a strong presence to the screen through your acting and just being... Major Steed. I understand that Dame Diana has purchased a house not far from us here in France. If you ever visit please feel free to come to tea here at Clarens. All my very best wishes Stephen Overton

You Will Always Be John Steed To Me. LONG LIVE THE AVENGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Patrick, could you please tell me if you are distantly related to the Mcmenemy/Mcmeanmains, nb, I really enjoyed all your episodes, films and plays, thanks for the enjoyment you have given us all. regards....James Robert Mcmenemie. (Bob)

I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE AVENGERS BACK IN 1966. I FEEL LIKE THAT BOTH PATRICK MAcNEE AND DIANA RIGG WERE LIKE FAMILY TO ME. I STILL THINK THAT PATRICK IS STILL A VERY HANDSOME AND SEXY MAN. AND DIANA IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. I HOPE THAT PATRICK WILL WRITE BACK TO ME, SOMEDAY. SINCERELY, MELANIE STEERMAN

Greetings! Just stumbled on to your website courtesy of Google. I just saw you on "The Sea Wolves" with Moore, Niven, Peck, & Howard on Cinemax. Rather pleased to see you're using cyberspace to reach out to your legions of admirers. Are you retired or semi-retired? Hope you can answer this.

Last night I watched a TV programme about the Avengers, which was introduced by Joan Collins. I was delighted to see you looking so fit and well. In the 60's, Saturday night was not complete without an episode of 'The Avengers'. Thank you for hours of excellent entertainment and pleasure. Honor, Diana, Linda and Joanna were good, but you were definately the Star. With very best wishes Jan Sitkowski

The caracter of John Steed has always been a delight to look at. Especially, his goods manners and his clothes, which reminds me of my grand-father. The avengers have been a part of my childhood and it shows that a movie can be much more interesting without violence, but with a good plot.

Fond memories of superb TV, never repeated since. Good to see that Patrick's talents are being used today!

Just to say thanks for making this little boy of the 60s so happy at that time.......I remember being on a high all day waiting for the avengers to start...what a show....Great theme...the cool john steed...and i think i'm still in love with Tara....I think it was those gorgeous eyes.......

my congratulations sir, i have just watched a dedication to the wonderful avengers, i have been a fan since the "very" early days all the best, live long and continue to give us great enjoyment on stage and screen.

AT THE AGE OF 51 AND JUST WATCHING THE AVENGERS TRIBUTE I THOUGHT IT FITTING TO CONGRATULATE PAT ON HIS SCREEN PERFORMANCES.I WATCHED HIS LIFE OVER MY GROWING UP PERIOD AND ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE.THANK YOU

Dear Mr. Macnee Like so many of your admirers I have been an ardent fan of the Avengers since I was a child. (I was 6 years old in 1960). Many times I have thought of sending some form of communication expressing our appreciation, (my Wife Margaret is also an undying fan), of your particular talents and the unique series. However, like so many good intentions, I never got further than the thought. But tonight I watched a programme on BBC 4 celebrating the Avengers, and with that spur, and the benefits of technology I felt compelled to contact you. Firstly may I say how pleasing it was to see you again, and how well you are looking, and we both wish you many future happy years. However the point of this e-mail is to express my personal appreciation of what in modern parlance is often described as a `role model` to me as a youngster, at a time my parents were unfortunately separating. Just before you started the New Avengers series back in the early seventies I joined the police service, and I have recently retired after 30 years, having risen to the rank of Inspector. Throughout that time, (whilst the character of John Steed is fictional), I was impressed with the characteristics that you imbued him with. With your emphasis on calm, professionalism, politeness, integrity, and above all humour. All of which I think are qualities that every honourable police officer should have in abundance. During my service I have been involved in numerous incidents, from personal fatalities, train crashes, and terrorist bombs. But at all times I attempted to present a calm and professional exterior, and however black the situation was, I have always tried to see whatever humour was available, for the morale and welfare of my officers and myself. It would be plainly ridiculous to suggest that your role model was constantly in my mind during the last 30 years, but I am sure that in some unknown phsycological way watching the shows as a youngster had an undoubted, (and I believe beneficial), effect upon me. At least I like to think so. Finally, at my retirement `bash` where approximately 20 to 30 officers were anticipated to attend, but in fact 100 plus turned up, I was humbled by many of the comments made about me. But one of my proudest moments was an aside referring to my role as the `communications officer` on scene at the Paddington train crash, in London. A Constable approached me, to tell me how magnificently calm I had been, and he hoped that if he was ever faced with such a situation, he could manage to behave similarly. I hope Mr. Macnee that you will not think me too sychophantic and disingenuous when I ascribe some of my `credit` to your example, whether in character or reality. Wishing you and your family many happy years. Thank you. Michael Morris PS My Wife and myself both use the one e-mail site, should the change of name appear confusing.

Still the best in drama series. Too bad you don't do a last episode of the avenger. André Thank's for everything Vous êtes encore le meilleur dans ce genre de série, dommage que vous ne fassiez pas une dernier épisode de "Chapeau melon & bottes de cuir" Merci pour tout André

Thank you so much for all the pleasure you have given me. I have to admit that my own taste in clothes was forever shaped by John Steed.

dear sir patrick to me is one of the best actors of all time. the avengers was both thrilling and entertaining. still out in front at the very top without resorting to swearing to much violence and lude sex. not that iam a prude, its just nice to watch top class acting with brilliant story lines. so all i can say is well done patrick and thanks! a campaign should be started to honour patrick for the work he has done for british acting and interests especially in america. lester actors have been awarded a knighthood. sir patrick macnee just rolls off the tongue. best wishes phil dale

I THINK THE OLD FILM OF THE AVENGERS IS FAR BETTER THAN RALPH FIENNES VERSION THE NEW ONE IS DULL AND BORING BUT AS FOR THE OLD ONE IT HAS MORE GO IN IT. I MISS THAT ON THE BRITISH T.V SCREEN. I WISH THEY PUT IT BACK ON BBC2. ITS VERY HARD TO GET THESE OLD GOOD T.V PROGRAMMES ON DVD.AT LEAST THE OLD AVENGERS IS FAR BETTER THAN TODAYS CRAPPY SOAP OPERA DRAMAS LIKE EASTENDERS, CORONATION STREET ETC THE ARE BLOODY STUPID AND BORING.

I am trying to contact you regarding placing an order and I keep getting returned e-mails as undeliverable. Any ideas before I send a money order?

I loved Steed. He was understated, droll and very sexy. Looks like Patrick Macnee still is.

Dear Mr. Macnee, One of my favorite movies of all time is a Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim. I have it on DVD and VHS. I was wondering if you would be able to sign my copy if I would send it to you. I just thought that movie was so good with the music and everything about the atmosphere that was projected. Do you know if any of the other cast members are still around?

To Patrick, thank you for all the enjoyment your work has provided over the years. You should be proud. Best wishes.

Love the site. John Steed was always my hero while growing up. My hope is that my son, when I have one, will find a similarly noble and gallant hero; unfortunately, I doubt that this will be possible--there is only one Steed! Luckily, thanks to Patrick Macnee, my hero is immortal. So, I say—Thank you Patrick Macnee for a life-long hero. Now, if I could only find my Emma Peel… Sincerely, Chris Tkach

Thank you, Dear Mr McNee, for having, by the joy your art has given me, enhanced my life. A fun memory for me recalls an early-1980s evening in Singapore when, although by far the most elegantly attired person, man or woman, in the place, you were turned away from dinner at Singapore's Tanglin Club because your trousers and jacket, fashionably, did not exactly match. I've never been able to enter the joint since without being reminded of the way you were 'given the bums rush.' Uppity bloody colonials! <];^)~< Blessings. Fraternally -- Brian

there are not word for explained my love and ammiration

Sir, Thank You! Trust me when I tell you those are the most heart felt two words I have said (written) in a long time. I'm not sure, but I think you may have saved my life. Well, maybe not my life, but you certainly saved me from some serious hurt. I used to think that the routine of humor in the face of danger that is a corner stone of "The Avengers" was funny, but could never happen. That is until a couple of weeks ago. I work with a partner as an armed security officer at one of the worst motels in the city. We had a motorcycle gang out of Texas known as the Sons of Silence come in. After spending most of the day ingesting what smelled like ethanol and probably tasted just as bad, they seemed to take exception with my uniform. Now I have to tell you that just prior to going to work at mid-night that night, I had watched "Death at Bargain Prices" which always makes me laugh. So I was in a pretty good mood. However, watching these four guys coming at us, I'm only five foot two and my partner is even shorter, I would have thought humor would be the last thing to cross my mind. As I said, they took exception to my uniform. The leader of this little band of angels, at the time, looking like he was about nine foot tall and just as wide said (and I'll clean the language up), "Look at this *&%#@ guard. Looks like a f*&^%# mini Texas Ranger". I didn't see the resemblance myself. Must have been the cowboy hat I wear with my uniform. Anyway, I said, "As long as I don't shoot you like a Texas Ranger, you'll be alright". I've never been charged by a raging bull, but I bet it looks a lot like what I saw that night. I know the distance across that lobby had to have shrunk as he came at me saying, "You ain't gonna shoot my ass"! This is the part that, if I saw it on television, I probably wouldn't buy it, but I swear it happened. I didn't reach for my weapon. Never even moved a muscle, but for some reason, the words, "That's not where I'd be aiming," came out. It stopped him dead in his tracks. He blinked a few times. Looked at his three friends and broke out laughing. After a minute or two he said, "That was a good come back". They were still laughing, my partner was looking at me like I was crazy and I walked away as though I knew what I was doing all along. Of course it took about half an hour for my heart to stop pounding in my ears, but they didn't know that. We were treated with dignity and respect by the gang for the rest of their stay. Now you might agree with my mother who claims that I've always been a smart a*& ... ah, I mean, quick wit and that "The Avengers" had nothing to do with it. Well, I'm the one it happened to and I can tell you that I don't usually go to work in that good a mood. So I know exactly where the credit lies. I bet you never thought you'd be rescuing the damsel in distress thirty nine years after the fact. Again, I Thank You. May your life be filled with joy and challenges and loved ones to witness both. Rhonda L. Wilson

Patrick, Hope you are doing well and enjoying good health. Just read that you had been an American citizen since 1959, did not know that. Have you any up and coming projects?

Thank you so much for your work. You've brought me great pleasure and solace through out my life. RS

Always appreciated the "old boy" (along with Ms. Rigg) on the Avengers. I'm sitting here after a Saturday night date and wondering what it would be like if the two of them came back to the "big screen" as two retired "Mother" agents called out of retirement and teamed with another retired british agent--The Saint--Mr. Roger Moore? The thought brings about fascinating possibilities doesn't it? Look forward to hearing from the care taker of this site. Mark Ringgold, GA

The John Steed figure has really effected me all my life. My strong attitudes towards right and wrong were girded from my early experiences watching The Avengers. I watched in awe at this well dressed, sofisticated man fighting for good against evil. Even now I try to be impecably dressed as often as possible. Thank You Very Much Glenn

Dear Patrick I have just bought the Avengers Complete Emma Peel Megaset - its absolutely brilliant! I love the character of Steed (It must be difficult to play such a cool dude and make it look so natural) but it was Emma Peel that made the biggest impression when I was 8 or 9 years old - I was completely in love! Very best wishes for the future Cliff

Hi!! The avengers is one of my favourite tv series of all-times. It's fun. You're one of my favourite actors. I Know that it isn't your problem but the avengers in dvd haven't got a subtitles in spanish, only english, german and french.It's a pity, because in the 60's the series was a great succes.

have nearly completed my fan fic featuring Steed. I would be exceedingly honoured if you would accept it on my bahalf as a token of my esteem. If interested, PO BOX 2157 BERANA NSW 2141 AUSTRALIA. HAVE MANAGED TO FIND AND READ YOUR BOOK. A DIFFICULT RIDE, BUT I'M GLAD THAT YOU FINALLY FOUND THE COURAGE TO TURN YOUR HORSE'S HEAD FOR HOME, AND THAT YOU CAME TO REALISE WHAT EVERYONE ELSE KNEW, THAT YOU ARE A GOOD AND DECENT MAN WHO DESERVES YOUR SUCCESS.

Dear Patrick As an ex naval man you will be reminded of "Pompey"! I was born there in 1947 and lived a useless life with boarding schools and public schools until 1967 when I headed down under for some adventure. Before I left my life was dictated to by two TV shows John Steed and the Avengers and the Forsythe Saga. I was in love with Nyree Dawn Porter and was devastated by her far too early death. After my pathetic schooling I studied Architecture and Design and my natural love of avant garde and contemporary design made me very aware of brilliant concepts and products. My passion for unusual cars such as Jensen Interceptors started at a very early age. Therefore the Avengers had everything I could wish for. Style and cool. However Steed was one thing, that incredible actor Patrick McNee gave me such inspiration to seek the ultimate in achieving success. Thank you Patrick for you are still an inspiration to me. Good health and great happiness. Sincerely Peter March

I have been an "AVENGERS" fanatic since the early "70's". Currently my collection has about 36 different episodes. John Steed and his partners are truly in a class of their own. While very sporadic, I enjoy catching glimpes of my favorite heroes on TV and film. Hope all of you live on forever.......you will with me.

Pat, I miss seeing you. I am glad for the DVDs and all, but wish you would make another film or stage play if time permits. At any age you are wonderful in your craft! I wish you and Baba much happiness!

Thank you,Patrick - you've given us so much pleasure through your work!!! Take care of yourself,and, please visit Germany soon!!!!! God bless you sir!!! Dave & Jean xxx

I am trying to contact you to no avail, because the contact e-mail address does not work. I wish to purchase you signed photo and wish to have it inscribed to my daughter...is this possible and should aI just send the check and the order form? Pls. advise. Cheers - Gary

Great site!! Do you send email updates? Best regards, David

Auch in Deutschland bleiben Sie unvergessen! Mit Schirm, Charm und Melone haben Sie Millionen begeistert. Danke dafür!

hy mr steed for ever when i have 8 year i watch the avenger now i 38 and continue to see. the thing that is important for me is a gentleman as you. thank very very much . excuse for my english. love and peace

hi, u "british'st" of all actors..i'm very lucky! here in luxembourg, we get tv-programs from germany, belgium and france (and of course all satellite-progs), so i've seen the avengers in every possible language..and every time they are re-programmed, i watch them..but i must say, i have a definite preference for the diana rigg-episodes, even (or especially) in b/w..did u know, that during a period (early seventies, i think) the avengers were taken off the air in germany, because of "obvious brutality" giggle* - but never mind, they did the same with porky pig and duffy duck ! so you're in the best of company! greetings from luxembourg

When was it exatly that Patrick moved to the USA? My guess would be in the 1970's. Would he like to come out and perhaps speak in New Mexico? Or do book signings? He is perhaps the most distinguished character actor of Televison history living today. Dave Albuquerque

JOY WATCHING THE AVENGERS TV SHOW ON TAPE,YOU W/ DIANE RIGG GOT THE COMPLETE SERIES.

I THINK DIANA RIGG IS A CUTIE. I ENJOY THE AVENGERS,AND SEEING HER. I ENJOY YOUR DVDS ON GHOST STORIES

I have just re-viewed the 'Avengers' series which I rented from Netflix...1965-1967...the Mrs. Peel ones. I enjoyed them this time even more. BTW I have a daughter and 'son' with the grandbabies living in southern CA...in Manchester; close to Temecula. I will be visiting them in January 2006...will have to see if you would agree to a phone call. You are my ideal "sharp dressed man".

Patrick, I was very much please to have purchased the new avengers series on DVD, with Gambit and Purdy. You were all an inspiration to me as I was only 10 when they hit the states. I wanted to say thank you for your great acting, your inspiration, and class that you delivered in your performances that I have been lucky to see. You are more than welcome to be a dinner or drinks guest, both you and your wife, should you find yourselves in the windy city. Thank you very much, Sincerely, Michael Beling

Hello!!! If you could come in France to visit your fans again...

Love you Patrick!

Great site and loads of information, Excellent! Imagine weather in southern California is so much better than Guildford. BBC America's run of Avengers is great and makes life a little less home sick. Best wishes and love the site, Paul

aguante patrick sos un capo

Always admired his work in The Avengers. Didn't see his birthday or age, I assume he's still with us. Thanks for being here!

Dear Mr. Macnee, In my recent post to your site, I neglected to thank you. I cannot put into words how you helped me to escape the mundaneness of my childhood surroundings in a small farming town in the Midwest with you and Mrs. Peel, or Miss King. If you wondered who that 12 year old kid in the back seat of your Bentley was, that was me. I have seen you in other roles, but I hope you will forgive me if I choose Steed as my favorite. I just ordered your book The Avengers and Me, and will probably be reading your autobiography next. Although it will probably never happen, I would love the opportnity to one day meet you in person and shake your hand.

I hope that Patrick Macnee himself reads this, and assuming this, I will continue in the second person. I grew up watching The Avengers in the 60's. At first, my mom wouldn't let me watch because she thought the show was too violent. Before long, I had both my parents watching the show every Monday night with me. As John Steed, you were my role model. I just bought your own selection of favourite episodes on DVD and now, am wanting more. I was amazed at how much I remembered. It was enlightening to see the early episodes with Honor Blackman and see how the character of John Steed evolved. It seemed strange to see Steed wearing a hat that wasn't a bowler. It was also good to see the episode where you first acquired the Bentley. I don't know how to properly address you, as I don't know whether you have been knighted or made a peer, and if you haven't received either honour as of yet, it's a shame. Sir, I hope you are well and will be with us for a very long time. Cheers!

I'm a big fan of your work on The Advengers and just wanted to say 'Hi'.

I have watched the Avengers since I was a kid and glad to see them on the BBCAm station. I wish they were shown on other channels that are on cable TV. I have watched Mr. Macnee throughout my life and has tremendously entertained me. His tallent is exceptional and he is a pleasure to watch. Of course the original Battlestar Galactica was great to watch with him in it. I am so glad to have found this website. Keep up the good work sir. We love it!! Wm. Ed Anderson

I believe that there is a little of John Steed's character in all of us. Take care Roger Broady

Just thought I'd add that I was watching Ghost Story's today - obviously you bring a touch of class to any programme - but like my dear old late Mum, I have a taste for the supernatural and this programme of yours is great. Can't quite believe you've settled in America though - thought you'd go for somewhere like Kent somewhere totally English!!!!! Anyway, long life (well, even longer life in your case!!!!!!!). Keep well, and love to your family (which must include your dogs!!!!). With love from jolly old London (well South-East London anyway!). We love you Steed! Debbie

I have always admired you, and the Avengers remind me of when I was a child. Also, as you get older, you remind me so much of my dear old dad (he's 81!). Long may you reign Mr McNee. Also, is it true that you used to live in Bromley in Kent, as my Aunt and Uncle lived in North Street in Bromley and seemed to think that you used to live round the corner (or is my memory deserting me???). Pip, pip old bean. Debbie

seen "the avengers" in sunday television today - a memory to my childhood.

Hello Mr. MACNEE, Thank you for your role of Steed and the others! Thank you to Diana and Linda too, hoping they're going well. I hope theater will offer another look about this TV show. The first was in right line of the TV series but something missed, especially concerning Emma Peel's character. Have a good day ! Olivier.

Good morning Mr Mcnee. Was just listening to kinky boots and wondered if you had a website and here I am.... So... just wanted to say to you that I have watched your tv shows during the 70's & 80's and also your movies notably your performance as... If my memory serves me right.. Sir Godfrey in James Bonds - A view to a Kill. Brilliant performance and very funny... Thanks for the great performances... and will look out for any future work that you'll be appearing in. Regards Michael Bailey

So glad I found the website of the unforgettable Steed!

The six part 1984 comedy series Empire has never been released on dvd. Is it possible to obtain a copy from anyone? Btw, I live not far from Bosham. You did a programme about it for the BBC a few years ago. Regards

Hi, just watching BBC Ameerica with The Avengers in Colour, thought i would check the web for some background on patrick macnee. i discovered that patrick lives in la jolla. i went there for the first time this year for a motorola function at the university. i particularly enjoyed walking by the sea and watching the waves come in. thanks for the web site and information. the avengers were a memorable part of my growing up. regards alan chewter

Hello, Mr. Macnee. I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the wonderful years of viewing you gave me growing up in the 1960s as Steed in The Avengers. Always cheerful, always unflustered, you made saving the world look effortless. Perhaps if most people were like your character portrayal, it would be! Thank you again and continued success to you and my best wishes to your family.

JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU SO MUCH,I HAVE FOLLOWED YOUR CAREER FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS. YOU HAVE BROUGHT ME SO MUCH JOY,YOUR A WONDERFUL ACTOR. THATS ALL I WANTED TO SAY FOR NOW, APART FROM I HOPE YOU ARE FIT AND WELL. ALL THE BEST FROM AN ADMIRER. KINDEST REGARDS TERENCE.

Best wishes to Patrick and family. Thanks for many many years of TV pleasure. Sill watching the Avengers at least once a week!! Good health to you. Stuart Holloway
