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'! |

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 |

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. |

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." |

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 |

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. |

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 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?? |

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 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 |

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, 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 |

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. |

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 ! |
