Doctor Who Vs. The Avengers @ 65: Series 3

Wills (born 1941) as Jane
Wentworth in Dressed to
Kill, her first of two roles
in the series

This cult British fantasy show returned to the ITV

network in the autumn of 1963 - it again starred

Patrick Macnee and Honor Blackman as spies John

Steed and Cathy Gale.

The duo even recorded the novelty song, Kinky

Boots in 1964 (reissued in 1990) - Blackman left

the series at the end of this run to play Pussy

Galore in the third James Bond film, Goldfinger.

Malcolm Hulke, Terrance Dicks and John Lucarotti again provided screenplays here.
