Oh come off it, Thaatre of blood was spectacularly atrocious!Diana Rigg, Doncaster’s divinest daughter, has passed away.
she could never top her early screen performances in the one true Avengers, tho gave it a game go in the Assasnation Bureau and Theatre of Blood, not to mention the Great Muppet Caper.

Diana’s favourite of her own films, apparently. There was a stage version where daughter Rachael played her role.Oh come on, Theatre of Blood really was atrocious!

Ace in Game of Thrones. Proper kick-ass character who - no spoilers, don't worry- had a brilliant scene near the end with Jamie Lannister.
Good character in Detectorists too- could've just been stereotypical nasty mother-in-law but became something much more than that. I didn't know that was her daughter she was working with in that, that's cool.

I loved that scene with Jamie Lannister. She was wonderful!

Channel 4 repeated it during the 80s
“She’s having a rest. There’s no hurry, you see, we have all the time in the world.”

I've always been baffled by the talent, including Rigg, in this truly awful film by Michael Winner. Won of the worst British films ever made.
Why did you do it Diana?

Despite being directed by the worst British director of all time, it had a high caliber supporting cast of middle aged luvvies and she probably got to hang out with her mates. Film pays better than stage work and I don't think she got that many offers for films.

Rumer Godden lived (and died I believe) near where I grew up. She even opened the church fete one year when I was a kid. (Unsurprisingly, she was Catholic and used to attend that church.)
I was saddend by this news -- I liked Diana Rigg so much!
Long, detailed and largely theatre-focussed Guardian obituary of the wonderful Diana Rigg here
I think that's an excellent (and highly informative) tribute
With my parents, I saw her back in 1996 in the Haymarket Theatre in Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf? -- she was amazing and frightening in that!
Biggest respect, and RIP

Have you watched any of it ? Reviews haven't been great, it doesn't seem to add much to the film despite being twice the length.

EXPLODED TIM! (Help me!!!)
Your guess is as good as mine on that. My posts from my low-budget smart phone often go wrong and sometimes I don't notice.
