Re: [MOPO] Patrick MacNee
Nice tribute - I'd heard he was a real gent both on and off the screen. I've been working my way through old episodes of The Avengers on one of the channels here in the UK, and it'll be sad to watch the next one knowing he's no longer around.

Dear Mopos - Just a word or two about Patrick MacNee. Quite simply, he was a great guy.

His son, Rupert, is one of my best buddies and I’ve met Patrick a number of times over the past 30 years and he was so kind and friendly. Patrick was a trooper up to the end. And when he was too old to go to an autograph show, Rupert would go for him and tape his fans sending him their best.

Re: [MOPO] Patrick Macnee
Very sad news...McNee portrayed the epitome of English gentlemen...the original and long lasting Avenger.
