Today I did some research for Annabelle Heath, which was mainly stunt driver for Diana Rigg in six months and finally figured out what was Avengers season which the actress has participated. Wink

Many Thanks for the result are to Dave Rogers. Smile

When I re-read the book The Ultimate Avengers, I thought for the first time, is it possible that Annabella Wise, that Dave mentioned in the book as an understudy Diana Rigg in the episode Who's Who???, and Annabelle Heath are same face?
I went to the family trees and the answer was found quickly.

Annabelle Covey (surname at birth) married to a man by surname Wise in December 1960. From March 1969, her second husband was someone by surname Heath.

So, though now we knows, dear Avengers fans, that Annabelle was stuntwoman for Diana Rigg in period of colour era, there are two possible options for her time period: first - production block from Autumn 1966 to April 1967, and second - first quarter to Summer 1967. Rolling Eyes

Oh, at the time I still make a stop at the episode What the Butler Saw, but soon I will delve in color era. Wink

Thanks, Denis.
The Ultimate Avengers is a book with some rare information details. I often use it and Mike Richardson's book when working with the episodes for the website. Wink
