Page "The Avengers (TV series)" Paragraph 11

Nightclub singer Venus Smith ( Julie Stevens ) appeared in six episodes.

She was a complete " amateur ", meaning that she did not have any professional crime-fighting skills as did the two doctors.

She was excited to be participating in a " spy " adventure alongside secret agent Steed ( although at least one episode — " The Removal Men " — indicates she isn't always enthusiastic ).

Nonetheless, she appears to be attracted to him and their relationship appears similar to that later displayed between Steed and Tara King.

Her episodes featured musical interludes showcasing her singing performances.

The character of Venus underwent some revision during her run, adopting more youthful demeanour and dress.
