Dear Mr Macnee,
Having just come by your website and ordered a photograph, I felt it would be remiss of me not to sign the guestbook.
My girlfriend and I absolutely adore The Avengers; we have watched the episodes many, many times and they always cheer us up. We had the good fortune to meet Diana Rigg last year and it was lovely to tell her what the show and both of you mean to us.
We hope you are happy and well, Patrick.
Simon and Amanda. |

Dear Mr. Macnee -
Happy belated 90th birthday, hope that you are doing well. Had the pleasure of meeting you in 1992 in Orlando when you were promoting Thunder in Paradise. Have enjoyed all your work over the decades, you've brought class to everything you've done. Best wishes! |

Growing up in a small town in Indiana the Avengers was the coolest thing ever! At least on the 3 channels we got. I remember your English accent, it was the first time I'd heard that, pretty cool I thought. I still love to watch the re-runs, brings back great memories from a great childhood. Wish you only the best.
Kind regards,
Rick |

Dear Mr McNee,
I wrote to you 40 years ago as a girl of 12yrs old. I sent you a hand drawn sketch of yourself! And I asked if you could send me a photo of yourself with a moustache from Mr Jerico You wrote me back a lovely letter telling me I was a very talented young artist and enclosing a photo, unfortunately not with a moustache! I treasured that letter and photo and still have them.So much has happened since then! But I will never forget that letter! I looked forward to the Avengers every week for years and was let stay up late to see it. I hope you are well and enjoying life to the full. Thank you for many years of fun and looking forward to those episodes. Rene. X |

Hello Patrick
Hope you are doing well. I am once again watching the Avengers the Complete Emma Peel Mega set once again. I enjoy it everytime I watch it. I really enjoy your work with Diana Rigg and The Avengers is a classic Cult tv show that I enjoyed when me and my father watched it growing up. Thanks for the memories. |

Dear Mr Macnee
I truly hope that you are in good health and enjoying life to the full. Are you still taking the odd glass of wine - you must have got through a few bottles in The Avengers or were the Producers being thrifty and made you drink water or cold tea ? I have always found that your mere presence in a film or a TV appearance gives the work a irresistible quality - a quality that only Sean Connery and to a certain extent Anthony Hopkins possess.
I am currently wading through The Avengers box sets (haven't yet been able to afford Season 6 with Linda Thorson) and have recently re-watched your two Dr Watson portrayals alongside Christopher Lee's Holmes - fantastic acting. I'm also so glad you appeared in my favourite American series Columbo and A View to a Kill in which I was most perturbed to see your character killed off which is simply not cricket ! I must confess that I thought that the decision to do The Avengers on the big screen was a bad one. The only person who can play John Steed is your goodself - Ralph Fiennes was a charmless puppet and his co-star Uma Thurman's performance was no match for either Honor or Diana - your cameo appearance together with Sean's villain rescued the film from being a total disaster. I think I'll re-watch The Sea Wolves tonight - another one of my favourites in which you featured. Take care Mr Macnee - you are a truly great performer and wonderful example to your profession. |

Hi Mr Macnee. I often think of my teenage days when The Avengers were the highlight of the week. I have just read your book "Blind in one Eye"and was gripped by it. We were sitting drinking coffee watching this suave gentleman grace our screen while you were living such a precarious life off screen. I was touched by your story and am glad you are a survivor. God Bless you xx |

Some of the quips and punch lines were excellent in the 1960's Avengers.
EP to JS when he is charged up and sticks to his own car and cannot release himself.Let me see,are you A/C or D/C ???
EP trips into his arms and says 'I don't usually fall for strangers.
Super charged man explodes at the end and JS exclaims 'you've ruined his make-up'.
In the gold club EP is invited to a round of golf with the club executive and says, "I say, wouldn't it be nice if we were paired off together.I wouldn't mind giving you a stroke or two on or off the course."
JS crashes his vintage car into a tree and they both walk away and JS confesses he knew the road well since the war and had been on it over two hundred times and EP retorts that since you know it so well I am surprised you were not able to stay on it.
Happy Days

Belated 90th Birthday wishes Mr Macnee.
I met you once on the set of the The Avengers when my uncle John Wilder was working with you. What an impression you made on this young lad. Couldn't wait to get home and borrow my Dad's Bowler hat, wasn't too happy when I put a nasty dent in the top. Uncle John came to my rescue with a replacement......Hope it wasn't one of yours!!
Alas my uncle died many years ago but I still remember that day and that you took time out of your busy schedule to say Hello, always the gentleman.
Thanks and here's to many more Birthdays.
Regards,
Pete |

Most of us Avengers fans salute you,of course,for not just being alive at 90 years plus but for Scrooge or A Christmas Carol and for the interview you once gave on Merv Griffin's tv show in which you admitted celibacy for six months.No one talks about that and I have always been an admirer for your professionalism and a good sense of privacy,like Diana Rigg has maintained.I am only sorry you did not work with Edward Woodward on his Equalizer series.Thank You and Good Health as long as you live.

Dear Patrick. Your John Steed character is, as Diana Rigg´s Mrs Peel, one of the more happy memories of my childhood. I want to thank you for that. I´m fifty now, and I´m always looking for the repetition of those marvelous chapters y my country´s TV. I´m sure I´m just one in millions, but anyway writing these words thrills me, just because of the remote possibility that you read them. As bad as I write, even (I speak spanish). So, again, thank you, and have a long(er) and joyful life.

Sir,
You have in my mind you have and will always be an outstanding actor. I loved your portrail of John Steed and I was sorry the Avengers ended it is far superior to the rubbish we have to watch today. Having said that the writers were exceptional too and the scripts were usually outstanding. Thank you for the pleasure you have given to me I grew up in a wonderful time the 60's and 70's and I would not trade that viewing education for anything.

Hello Mr. MacNee ,
First of all I would like to say I am so glad you are alive and kicking (would any of your fans expect anything less sir ) !!You have left me with so many fond memories of Television in the 60's , especially " The Avengers " !!
I met you in Toronto in the mid 70'S... I was with a then girlfriend (a photographer for a Barrie , Ontario , Canada TV station CKVR ).... She was video graphing an Interview with you by a long time friend of hers.... It was her friend's First chance at interviewing a star !! It was an audition into the News Department at CKVR-TV Barrie.... I am sure you would remember Toronto's CFTO News Anchor " Christine Bentley ".....
Now it is my only hope that people realize what an " AMAZING HUMAN BEING " you really are.... I remember while the ladies set things up you were intently speaking of how much you loved Toronto , Ontario , and Canada as a whole....You even took the time to talk to me on a personal level..... I must tell you , that moment will last with me FOREVER...
You are truly one of the nicest folk I have ever met in my 64 yrs.
My hat's off to YOU ( bowler of course ).... I know your memory will live on forever....." MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS YOU WITH THE BEST OF HEALTH FOR ALL THE REST OF YOUR YEARS " !! " YOU ARE TRULY A SPECIAL MAN " !!
Yours Truly ,
L.Kane ,
