    Final episode for Venus.

    Steed's holiday in Greece is interrupted by an assignment, he's asked to look into the death of an experienced, deep sea diver, who died of the Benz during a routine mission. He happens to bump into Venus Smith.

    It's quite an enjoyable episode, I rather enjoyed the story, and I definitely liked the variety of characters. It's always good to see Steed teamed up with Venus.

    Two very well known faces here in Eric Pohlmann and John Carson, both are rather good I thought.

    Notable for being the final episode for Julie Stevens, I will really miss her character, one thing I won't miss however, the god awful singing, some of the numbers in this one are excruciating.

    I didn't mind the sets here, I thought the sets look rather decent, it's just a shame that the ship is in a permanent state of silence.

    Overall, this one was quite good fun.

    7/10.

    Fake settings

    This episode asks for an enormous amount of fantasy. The story itself is rather trite, but a little exotic scenery would have helped since the story evolves around a yacht in the Mediterranean sea and deep sea diving is a major part. Well, can you imagine? Because, you never see the yacht, although almost all scenes take place on the "yacht" (100% studio setting), we see interiors (which never move and which could at least have reminded us to be on a ship), we don't even see water although deep sea diving is an important part of the plot!

    Sadly, it is the last episode with Venus Smith, who seems to really enjoy herself and appears as if she were constantly amused by all this fake settings! I will miss her!

    • Quotes

      Aristos: You know, I'm what you might call a real bastard. Hm.

      Venus Smith: Eh?

      Aristos: Aye, my mother is Greek, Aristos is a Greek name, and my father is Swedish. Aristos Holmquist, that's me. I got two grandmothers. One is Swedish and the other one is English. No, she's Irish, but that's same thing anyway.

      Venus Smith: No it's not, you know.

      Aristos: No?

      Venus Smith: No, Irish isn't the same as English. You try and tell and Irishman and see.
