Years ago I had the good fortune to have Patrick Macnee (who played John Steed) pictured above as my seat-mate on a long haul flight to London. An absolutely charming man who went on to say that Diana really didn't care for the leather catsuit because she thought it didn't make her "sexy enough." I had to disagree with him. He went on to claim that the producers of the series cheated both him and Diana out of their residual payments when the series was syndicated.
