  1. In the Triumph of Love pic she looks most like her mother; her left side seems to favour her. Unfortunately, most of these shows haven’t appeared here. Lovely that she got to work with her mother in the Dr Who episode. “Breathes there a man with soul so dead, who never to himself has said, “Mrs Peel, we’re needed.” From a fan magazine called “Rigger Digger.”

  2. I didn’t know she was Diana Rigg’s daughter either, but looking at that header image I can see the resemblance.

  3. We recently re-watched “Five Little Pigs.” She was great in that. What a glorious voice she has!

  4. Churchill’s daughter Sarah was also an actress, best known for playing the love interest of Fred Astaire in Royal Wedding (1951). She was 37; he was 52.

    Back to the subject at hand: I adore The Bletchley Circle, and want all of the clothes! I loved Rachel as the independent one.

  5. The navy pantsuit in Bletchley. The cropped jacket, the wide legs, the orange blouse underneath – all perfection!

  6. In The Triumph of Love, Rachael Stirling plays the lady’s maid to the ruler’s daughter chasing the gentleman around, I believe.

  7. Those costumes in ‘The Rite Riot’ are close copies of the ones in the original production that caused the riot: in fact that shot was created as a copy of an original photo – see here: https://theartsdesk.com/dance/still-shocking-rite-spring-100-years. The costumes were by Nicolas Roerich and are not so much ‘Russian folkloric’ as an imagination of what pagan medieval Russian peasants might have worn, very heavily stylised.

    1. Precisely. You beat me to the explanation. Also, it took some time, but the original choreography of The Rite of Spring was recreated only a couple of decades ago.
