When Cathy becomes Emma

 The deaths of both Honor Blackman and Diana Rigg highlights a curious fact about The Avengers the TV show that they both starred in. When Blackman starred in the show it was made in TV studios with low grade cameras in  black and white. The latter half Rigg's tenure on the show was made in colour. An number of Blackman's episode were remade in colour. One such example  being 1963's Dressed to Kill which was remade in 1967 as The Superlative Seven with notable guest stars Charlotte Rampling, Donald Sutherland and Brian Blessed. The only other known example of was the remakes of lost Dad's Army episodes.
