Back, back in the before times, back before there was even dial-up the fan tribes were scattered wide across the land and across the oceans. The only way to trade and exchange their knowledge was through images and words pressed upon fragile paper. Weeks or even months could pass endlessly hungering for even the merest morsel or crumb of community news. And then at last after endless, bitter days of lamenting the emptiness of the accursed box, a new carefully stapled bundle borne by the hand of a courier would finally arrive. And oh, the incandescent joy.

Pretty sure these were taken on the set of "Death at Bargain Prices." Diana Rigg is yucking it up with and Joe "Dazzler" Cornelius, a professional wrestler, actor, and stunt performer. Cornelius worked on The Avengers with fight stunt arranger Ray Austin to make the fights look good. His brother Billy Cornelius was also a stuntman that worked on Avengers episodes "Dial a Deadly Number", "Small Game for Big Hunters" and "From Venus With Love."
