I was already thrilled to see Dame Rigg in 'Game of Thrones'--what a treat to have her turn up as the Villain of the Week on 'Doctor Who'!
It's the first time she's gotten to act with her daughter, too. How now!

She is KILLING IT on Game of Thrones.
Loved seeing her in Dr Who (am behind on my GoT so no dame for me yet!)
Fun fact! Mark Gatiss who wrote the episode was in 'The Recruiting Officer' with Rachel Stirling and then asked her to be in his episode, he then decided it was worth asking her to ask her Mother too!

Diana Rigg is a joy to behold on GAME OF THRONES. Her scene last night with Charles Dance is one of the highlights of the season.
The chemistry between Dame Rigg and her daughter was crazy. Rachael Stirling was so dynamic in her scenes. I am going to look more into her work.
I was saying last night that she deserves an Emmy nomination for sure - she's fantastic on GoT. I had no idea she was on Doctor Who until after the episode was over - but she was pretty great there too.
With the peculiar exception of her own eponymous show, Dame Diana Rigg has never put a perfoming foot wrong. J' A D O R E this woman and her work ( including Rachel Sterling)
