"Steed is shot full of holes- Emma sees stars."
Mysterious deaths of BVS members have raised a problem. Each one was found dead while observing Venus, and were bleached white! Steed decides to take up stargazing while Emma finds herself tied up.
Notes: First episode in color. This escapade was eccentrics abound. One of my favorite eccentrics of all-time is Bertram Fortescue Wyndthrope-Smythe, one of the classiest chimney sweeps. This is one of the few sci-fi type episodes.
Teaser: Emma is fencing in her flat while Steed enters and hands her a card: "Mrs. Peel- we're needed."
Tag: The Avengers are ready to have dinner on Venus-that is the British Venusian Society.
