Very nice! I loved the Avengers series when I was a boy and still watch the re-runs now. Bless you Patrick! I live in Hastings, East Sussex so will see if I can visit Bosham.
For many of us countrymen Patrick Macnee represents everything English dare I say even British. Pride in the past, resilience and restraint with a dignified charm unmatchable anywhere in the world and where many around the world aspire to be likewise. Yet this can never be bought, sold or easily won. Steed and Mrs Peel weren't just an act, both are humans with attributes and failings like anyone, except they set an example for all to see and enjoy, and did it better than anyone then and since..
What a lovely video, well I never knew that, only live down the road from Bosham, it's one of my favourite places to visit too, love it. Thank you for this wonderful video.
I love that smile at 2:37! The man may have been older and greyer, but you can tell he was John Steed and still had that same charming smile! RIP, Mr Macnee - I'll miss you.
*Robert Harding* You were not entirely incorrect.... He was of Scottish *descent*, and very proud of it. His father was the grandson of the Scottish painter Sir Daniel Macnee...
He made John Steed the greatest secret agent on TV in the fantastic Avengers the Immortal classic show and the companions were just as in important but one I think that stould out was Emma Peel Diana Rigg truly the best of course Kathy was the first their first class and had charm and wit and smart to Them I say thank you for everything and RIP to the original Avengers three stars who shine forever.
Oh, the village in the shots is Bosham. Doesn't quite make sense; why would his landlady need to tell him about Bosham Harbour(?), unless the cottage wasn't in Bosham.
i feel rather guilty having to correct Mr Macnee but he is wrong about king Canute. The statement he was making was simply this i may be king but i have no more power over nature than any one else.So as to the old myth that he tried to turn back the tide. The opposite was true. He was also a Christian king and by doing this he was showing is humility

Bosham is a fascinating place to visit, steeped in history!
Interesting insight to a TV legend.
Fascinating really enjoyed
I'm going to live there!
Superb!!. True Gent. Love this.
Splendid feature!
A real diamond of a man
Thanks.
I sense the same with the English Gentleman tag ! although many people know he was Scottish..but he's still our John Steed.
robert harding I thought he was born in Paddington.
Michael Lewis isn't life full of surprises ?.I too thought he was English, (he loved the place)
*Robert Harding* You were not entirely incorrect.... He was of Scottish *descent*, and very proud of it. His father was the grandson of the Scottish painter Sir Daniel Macnee...
He is (Was) and always will be John Steed, the epitome of an English gentleman, and if lucky a friend.
very sweet
a legend r.i.p
I know Chichester… very well ❤

Not mentioning Linda Thorson as Tara King does not do this legendary TV series justice at all.
@@jeffsullivan2044 Leslie Phillips and Terry-Thomas and Arthur Low and Lord Charles and many others on film and stage who put on a good show of it?
I wonder what the village with the picture postcard cottage was? Somewhere near Chichester and Bosham presumably.
Oh, the village in the shots is Bosham. Doesn't quite make sense; why would his landlady need to tell him about Bosham Harbour(?), unless the cottage wasn't in Bosham.
I think the cottage was actually in Runcton, so it wasn't in Bosham.
@@michsmi8297 Thanks. It's on Google Maps/ Streetview. Down Runcton Lane.
en español ???
Perhaps Bosham will be Patrick's final resting place?...

It depends which chronicler you believe.
