Video: Rare 1960s Interview with the cast of “The Avengers”

From German television this is a rare interview with Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg about “The Avengers”.  As you may hear in this video, the German’s didn’t call the show “The Avengers” but rather “Mit Schirm, Charme, und Melone”.  This roughly translates as “With an Umbrella, Charm and a Bowler Hat.”
