I love your site, it's interesting to read about your life and your work. I love the Avengers and your role with Diana Rigg in that. I don't really know what else to say but: your web site is great! |

I have been watching "The Avengers" on BBC America. The high quality of your old show is especially evident when the commercial breaks feature ads for what passes for entertainment on the BBC nowadays. I cannot imagine any of them being watched 40 years from now. This might sound odd, but one of the things I most enjoy about "The Avengers" is how everyone--even the baddies--speak properly. All one hears anymore is that ubiquitous, nasaly 'Thames Estuarian', which is so very tedious. Thank you, Mr. Macnee, for all the enjoyment you have given so many of us through the years. God Bless, and Merry Christmas to you and yours. John Hickey |

Still enjoy watching the show. Even got my son, who is now 17, interested in it. Hope all is well! |

I have always loved to watch your performances. From The Avengers to Battlestar Galactia and A View To A Kill (hated to see you die in that one) Thank you for all the many years of enjoyment! Would like to have been able to work with Diana Rigg, you're lucky! Thanks again! |

I just wanted to write, and state that I have been a fan since 1966. I have recently purchased the mega-set "The Avengers - Diana Rigg". I just love it, and thought that the both of you were the greatest acting duo ever. God bless you Mr. Macnee, and I hope the good lord keeps you healthy for many more years to come. Please write, if you can. I would love to hear from ya. |

John's work over the past 40 plus years, has always been a pleasure..Even when the project has been less than great, John always found an way, to make it at least, interesting. Loved him best with Rigg, in the b & w era of the Avengers..The writing and camera angles, and the chemistry between John and Diana, was right on the money..First heard of John, from a 1954 recording on RCA, of a mid summer night's dream.. |

Hi Mr. Macnee: My wife and I just had a pleasant trip down nostalgia lane watching an Avengers video. So good to read of your continuing activities in the arts. Don't ever stop. We had the pleasure of greeting you when we were all exiting the Racquet Club in Palm Springs in the early 80's. We lived in PS for 8 years and hoped we might bump into you again, but no such luck. May you work as long as you want. We need more elegance and dignity in the theatre and television; you brought it in abundance. Long life and happiness. Dave Sagman |

I think Mr. Macnee is the true definition of the word "class" and said so when I was originally here on October 8, 2000. Next to the word in the dictionary should be a picture of Mr. Macnee, which should say it all! |

Quite right again, picked up on the old Avengers series on Friday nites 8 p.m. on BBC, love it, always did, rush to get home and see it every week; has pinache & style unlike alot of tv today, could I entice you and a crew to go fishing with me next season on Lake Michigan? It would be an honor and thrill. Late July thru first week of Sept. are best times. Your humble admirer, Capt. Ed. |

Dear Mr. Macnee, I cannot express how delighted I am to have found this sight. The Avengers and your presense therein have provided me not only with many hours of entertainment but with much needed times of escape during difficulties. I was introduced to the inimitable John Steed by my late mother and I have introduced your peerless style and engaging interactions with Mrs. Peel to my husband and children. Thank you for bringing joy into the lives of your fans. Thank you, Mr. Macnee, for your hard work and enchanting presence. |

I long admired Patrick Mcnee, since the Avengers was tied along with Secret Agent Man for my all time favorite spy- type espionage series. Steed as he was called was such a dashing stylish character, and Patrick pulled it off to an ace! Emma Peel always captivated my attention! They offered the viewing audience an escape from reality with what I would deem abstract expressionism, the Dali of surreal movies! It was always tranquility, and joy watching that series. Interesting how my favorite series came from England, and not Hollywood! Faulty Towers, which came along later, was my favorite comic relief series. I will always hold a love in my heart for an actor that did so very much to induce imagination to the viewing audience. Saludos, Monte Petersen |

Dear Mr. Macnee, I was born in 1960 and during those years it was a pleasure and i mean a pleasure watching the 'Avengers' along with the 'Persuaders' 'Man in a Suitcase' and of course the 'Prisoner.' It was a pleasure-thank you! As we all age gracefully (only for the lucky ones), one reminescence on what one has done and to see the avengers alongside that of said it makes one cry that we are all getting 'older,'however, its a delight watching and experiencing 'ones youth' over and over again-thanks buddy! i will never forget the scene when emma peel(diana rigg)left and was exchanged by 'purdey'(joanne lumley) i will never forget that; cos there was a 'tear drop' running down your eye! an emotional moment for us all-THATS LIFE BUDDY! bye bye it's been a pleasure-thanks again. WAZZY. PS. You cant bring back time but today one can go back in time to feel the pleasures of life.Its a great feeling when one gets what he/she wants in life thanks to the past and thanks to HEROES that todays children don't really have incomparrison to yesterdays child. bye |

Hello! I'm 23 years old, and I've been a fan of "The Avengers" since my childhood. It's been a great surprise for me to find this lovely web site dedicated to a wonderful actor and man such as Patrick MacNee. I think he is one the most elegant, charming and lovable actor of all times. And a very good actor besides. Mr Steed would be one of my favourite characters forever!! |

Don't usually sign guestbooks, but they're re-showing 'The Avengers' (first colour, or color? season) here in the Netherlands. So I'm taking this opportunity to let you know how much you and Diana Rigg brightened up my childhood! The chemistry and interplay between you two stands up very well indeed, nigh on 40 years later!Thank You Both Very Much, Pete |

I just wanted this opportunity to tell you how much I have appreciated your work on the Avengers. As I learn more about this series' history, I am very much surprised at how off the cuff the performances really are. I am truly astounded at the work that you and your compatriots have done with regards to this series. Both my father and I have been fans of the Avengers along with Doctor Who, but sadly, coming from Canada, there is very little else that I have seen of your work. I say this because I would really like to see more of your work beyond the Avengers. An actor is not one part. He is the sum of his work and unfortunately this is all I have really seen. I hope I will come across more of your performances beyond introductions to a Christmas Carol. However, from the Avengers I must say thank you. I know it was only a job. But, as one of many who have been entertained by John Steed, I just want you to know how much I've appreciated what you have done in the name of a job. |

Great site! One thing, though, under Mr. MacNee's Filmogrophy page you neglected to mention he played the role of young Jacob Marley in "Scrooge," with Alistair Sim. This classic movie was made in either 1950 or 1951. Mr. MacNee had a rather small speaking part in the picture, but given that picture's somewhat cult status (for many, Alistair Sim was the definitive Scrooge), it should definitely be included in the filmogrophy. |

I recently had the pleasure of seeing you on an old episode of "Columbo" as a cruise ship Captain. I fondly recall seeing the first episodes of "The Avengers" as they were released in the United States. I have all of the episodes with Dame Diana Rigg, and many with Honor Blackman. I also have a signed copy of your book, "The Avengers and Me". It is a shame that the Ian Hendry episodes did not make it to video or DVD. I assume that is because of the way they were performed live. It is good to see your web page. Noticed it has not been updated in awhile, so I am not sure you will ever see this. In case you do...thank you. Thank you for many years of fun and intrigue. |

Mr. MacNee, I want to thank you for the inspiration you, and Diana Rigg, provided me when growing up. I learned that you can go through life with wit, with style, with verve, with humor. that it IS ok for a woman to be strong, independant, and self-reliant. I chose my career, behind the scenes in Television, because of my love for the Avengers and my wish to one day be able to bring that sort of happiness and entertainment to others. I've never quite reached that goal, but have had a wonderful, and throughly enjoyable career so far. I'm currently a Manager for ESPN, the Sports Network, and I love it. I've been honored and fortunate enough to have met both yourself and Diana Rigg, separately of course, while working in San Francisco. It was truly a pleasure. Might I ask a question? I regard Brian Clemans as a wonderful, brilliant writer. the modern day equivilent to me would be Tom Fontana (Homicide, OZ, St. Elsewhere). Would you be able to pass along any Brian Clemans stories or information? Also, did you ever have a hand in writing anything for the Avengers? Anything you m ight chose to share would be well treasured. regards, Mildred Ellison a lover of horses, champagne, and good cars |

Dear Mr. Macnee, I hope this finds you well. Since I last visited your website, I have read some of your autobiography. I appreciate your charming way of relating your history; as well as your candor. As a Child Psychiatrist, I was very interested in your early upbringing. Although you relate it humorously, it is obvious that you suffered a great deal. I wish that parents would consider the effect that their lifestyles have on their children. Thank you again for your timeless contribution to art and culture. My 9 year old daughter is a great fan of yours and of Diana Rigg. (We have the Emma Peel Mega-Set on DVD). You are wonderful together, and we think that both of your performances deserve award status. There is nothing half as good on TV today. It works on so many levels, and delights kids as well as grownups who now understand the humor and innuendo which once went over our heads. You have provided us with hours of enjoyment and happiness. Respectfully, Janet and Denise |

Dear Mr. Macnee, I have been a fan of yours since I was a little girl, and The Avengers first aired on US TV. My entire family watched it; the pairing of you and Diana Rigg was superb. My brother remembered my affection for the series, and bought me the entire set of DVD's with you and Ms. Rigg. I am able to watch it on my laptop while I an in convalescence from surgery. It has made my days delightful. Thank you, Mr. Macnee, for providing so many of us with such pleasure from your work. Sincerely, Janet Laizer, M.D. |

I enjoyed your avenger series, Wish it never ended, But found it rather strange why emma would leave the series at the height of the show. It wasn't the same after. Your always good, but the partnership had ended, and that changed the whole love of the team. It's like breaking up the three stooges, it was never the same after curley died. SORRY BAD EXAMPLE.You both did a great job of entertaining the american audience,Gave me wonderful childhood memories. Hope to see reruns of the show return soon god-bless and thanks for the memmories. Steve |
