She has a wicked sense of humour. Saw her walking up High Street Ken early 90s. A real lady, very elegant. Rip Diana.

She's amazing, real, highly engaging, endlessly interesting and stunningly beautiful!

God, she's lovely!!!!! ♥

Diana Rigg is one of the most genuine among those interviewed. It's remarkable how unafraid she has been to say what is on her mind, to voice her opinion on matters fun or serious. There seems to be no careful shading of what she says for her career. In this interview, she was obviously in a buoyant joyous mood - and it causes her to be so utterly in the moment, listening carefully, reveling in the tales she relates. What a completely charming, (greatly) beautiful, fun, sweet, charming and funny woman! It is also a pleasure to see just how taken is Michael Parkinson (whom I've always liked) by Diana Rigg's vivacity and charm. You can see that he'd love to spend the day with her - and preferably not solely in a work capacity. But then who wouldn't? In later interviews on line, Diane Rigg is far more serious - thanks so much for posting this.

And Rachel Stirling such a marvellous actress!

I loved Diana Rigg in The Avengers. She was beautiful, independent, charming and classy. And those catsuits...! I am not sure how old she is in this interview, but she is still beautiful and witty and engaging here. You are missed by many, Dame Diana Rigg.

RIP Diana Rigg will be sadly missed she was so lovely and funny x

"Brick mausoleum with insufficient flying buttresses." The nerve of John Simon , theater and film critic.

God she's funny, intelligent and engaging. Love her!

Indeed she is! One of the best.

Such a beautiful lady.

Diana Rigg, la elegante y espectacular Dama de Los Vengadores. BRILLANTE ACTRIZ, LO MAXIMO EN ACTUACION DE SERIES TELEVISIVAS. ❤❤

Rest in peace Diana.

Always incredible, forever desirable.

Just fell in love.....

Love her always she is beautiful.

OMG if I could speak English like her. I think she has the most classy, perfect and sophisticated accent. WOW.

Rachael is 36 today. Happy Birthday, girl.

Charm and beauty at their highest peak.

Around '79. The toddler she speaks of is 35 now!

Diana was a real down to earth. RIP

She was at that time the sexiest woman in the world. And funny, and engaging

Ain't she a honey

SHE'S RIGHT UP THERE WITH AGNETHA OF ABBA WHEN IT COMES TO BEAUTY, CLASS AND ELEGANCE!

She's a total nutter!!!

She captivated men and women alike.

Shes even sexier than I ever imagined her to be on top of looking better than Liz Taylor ever did by a long shot (miaow)

She looks exactly like her daughter (Rachel Stirling) here at moments!

I love you Diana😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️

This cracks me up Dame Diana Rules

Could she be any more charming and beautiful?

she will play me in a movie..

WHAT A BABE !

So this is when Olenna said: I was very good.

@AlanSmithee20 Thanks for taking the time to answer and it was a blast going back in time to see an interview I missed and that is what is so magical about You Tube...the time travel thanks to people like you..

1:14 -1:18. If I were Parkinson, I´d offer her marriage immediatly -on the spot- after a laugh like that...

What fun!

Very a-Peel-ing!

Could you imagine if she were to say this today in PC America? She's brought up child abuse charges.

She is the best rip

slightly out of synch, but she's a marvel.

One word “Gorgeous”

Oh motherhood.. I read that as motorhead lol

In her formative years, Dame Diana lived in India. The only place you will hear English spoken proper today is by the royals - and those who are expats from the old pink bits on the map (the British Empire). Actors who grew up in these regions - isolated from Britain, as its accent went down the dumper - came to Britain to find work. They include Cliff Richard, Felicity Kendal and Joanna Lumley (India) plus Richard E. Grant and Nigel Green (Africa) and newcomer Adhir Kalyan (both!)

@showtuneful - that's old COD (as in the FISH!)

RIP Diana

showtuneful She says "a piece of old cod," as in the fish.

@TheFruityObsesh - That's pretty much all I got! It came from a compilation.

Hard to believe that this is the same Parky who was so rude to Dame Helen Mirren

about 1980

- you miss us

Elle est délicieuse. Which year is that ? 79 ?

The Quill

I don't see anything wrong with biting your baby's bottom my mom had me later in life like Diana did(my mom never bit mine) I think it's cute

I loved her always too. What is she saying when she says, without makeup her bum would just look a piece of (sounds like old cord)? at 2:30 ANYONE???

..

Hmmm, actually....Linda Thorson was better looking!
