Lumley, who starred alongside Hunt in the 1970s TV show, praised the late actor’s sense of humour and reminisced about great times on set.
The 61-year-old says, "We started off as friends in The New Avengers and remained that way for more than 30 years. I loved him so much.

"I went out with him for his birthday in February (07). He was pretty frail but still hysterically funny."
