Venus Brown runs the British Venusian Society, whose members believe the planet Venus can be harvested to the good of the Earth but, whilst observing it through their telescopes, one by one they die and their hair turns white on death. Steed joins the society and discovers that, whilst aliens may seem to be responsible for the murders, the real culprit is a vengeful optician. Written by don @ minifie-1
Steed and Mrs Peel investigate when members of the British Venusian society start to die.
Season five gets off to a most enjoyable start with From Venus with Love. It's now in color, and it's fun seeing Diana Rigg's wardrobe in color. If possible, she looks even lovelier in color than in black-and-white.
The plot is rather silly (aren't they always?), but there's a terrific guest cast: Barbara Shelley, Derek Newark and Philip Locke. Jon Pertwee appears briefly as a Brigadier! Jeremy Lloyd, who would later help create Are Young Being Served?, has a brief bit as a chimney-cleaning aristocrat.
