Just a few weeks after Lewis Collins, another icon of Classic British TV has passed away, Alexandra Bastedo, she of 'The Champions', which was still airing less than 2 years before Look-in began. If only Look-in had begun 2 or 3 years earlier! The comic 'Joe 90: Top Secret' ran a passable strip, but we can only imagine what it would have been like if Mike Noble had got his hands on it.
The Champions is perhaps my favourite series of all time, and I have a particular soft spot for the sixties ITC stuff, I was on the young side when it aired, but even at 8 years old I could see Alexandra was a very beautiful woman, and i'm sure she raised the pulses of a lot of boys older than me! We now know how beautiful she was inside too, and her animal sanctuary in West Sussex stands as a testament to that, may it go on from strength to strength.
Sympathy to Alexandra's family. RIP.

Sad loss, but the thought of Mike Noble being able to draw that strip, now that would have been mind blowing.
