Avengers actor Gareth Hunt dies

Actor Gareth Hunt, star of The New Avengers, has died of pancreatic
cancer aged 65, his agent has announced.

Hunt played the role of Mike Gambit in the TV series, alongside
Joanna Lumley's Purdey and Patrick McNee as John Steed.

In later years he became well known as the face of Nescafe with a
trademark handshake to reveal coffee beans.

He also had a role in the Doctor Who story Planet of the Spiders and
briefly appeared in EastEnders.

A statement from his agent said: "He fought the disease with great
courage and through his strength of character and his wonderful
sense of humour he continued to work right up until the end of
2006."

Hunt is survived by his wife, Amanda, and three sons.
