The Avengers - The Decapod
Throwback Thursday takes us back to the adventures of British spy John Steed ( Patrick Macnee ) and his various partners. "The Decapod" is the first episode to introduce Julie Stevens as nightclub singer Venus Smith who Steed recruits, and tricks, into helping him on his latest case (which is certainly a bizarre hour of television). Although the situation does highlight Steed as a scoundrel willing to use whatever, or whoever, is at his disposal to get the job done, I'm not sure the logic of his plan holds up (even if it is ultimately successful).
