After leaving the widely popular television series, "The Avengers", and her role as Mrs. Emma Peel, to do Shakespeare, Diana Rigg decided to come back to television in 1973, to do a series once again, hoping to capitalize on her popularity from "The Avengers". She failed. The show "Diana" was the victim of poor writing and lack of chemistry between the actors. To say it bombed would be an understatement. The show didn't last the entire season before it was mercifully pulled off the air. Diana Rigg learned an important lesson like numerous actors before her. NEVER leave a popular television series to do Shakespeare. Doing Shakespeare won't pay your bills.
