Now you've done it. You've gone and reminded me of Venus . . .

She's a delight on the commentary by the way. She's never seen these episodes before (as they were often screened a day after recording) and it's a treat to hear here.
Interestingly she was a regular Avengers viewer before she was in it, so knew she was going into a big Saturday night TV show.
I'm waiting until I finish watching them all before I see the commentaries, but I've love her little intros. She's so incredibly sweet and bubbly about her time on the show. I still like Venus, and I can't wait to hear her thoughts--a fresh take for a change.

Definitly, I think she can be considered as an Avenge girl. She has a different style, that´s all. I like her.

As Julie says, "Yes, but I'm a quiz question too!" At least she doesn't mind being overlooked.

Regardless of whether she is considered a partner or not, Venus' time was up once Cathy Gale arrived.

She's arguably the first Avengers girl, too (is that what the quiz question was about?).

I think it was. That, or 'how many Avengers girls have their been?'. Her commentary is very informative, which I wasn't expecting.

These sound better all the time. I can't wait to give them a listen (I need to see all the episodes distraction-free first.) It's so nice to have someone different speaking about the show for a change--so many of the main players trot out the same old anecdotes, it's great to have some fresh blood.

This episode is one of the few times, other than Mother's final 'They'll be back - you can depend on it' from the last Avengers episode and Steed's 'Irreplaceable!' from
Faces, where a character breaks the fourth wall. Venus comes right up to the camera and sings to us, and even gives a little wink
at the end.
Years before Robert Vaughn was doing it in
Hustle ... not singing, you understand - winking ...
BTW: Sad news. Donal Donally, who is in this episode, died only yesterday (4th).

But she could be quite feisty, as when she gives Steed an earful on the phone while being deployed in the Embassy in 'The Decapod'.

That's very interesting. I'll have to see the episode with commentary now!
