1
00:01:28,270 --> 00:01:29,670
Hello? Yes.

2
00:01:30,610 --> 00:01:31,610
Yes?

3
00:01:32,970 --> 00:01:34,090
What are the coordinates?

4
00:01:36,690 --> 00:01:37,690
Declination.

5
00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:40,270
Right ascension.

6
00:03:49,610 --> 00:03:51,170
Did he trip or was he pushed?

7
00:03:51,610 --> 00:03:52,770
Neither, Mrs. Peel.

8
00:03:53,410 --> 00:03:54,590
Not a mark on him.

9
00:03:54,890 --> 00:03:56,910
Ernest Cosgrove, War Ministry.

10
00:03:57,230 --> 00:03:58,230
Important?

11
00:03:58,430 --> 00:03:59,430
Up and coming.

12
00:03:59,890 --> 00:04:01,350
His age here, I said.

13
00:04:01,890 --> 00:04:03,030
But from his hair.

14
00:04:04,270 --> 00:04:08,990
He looked 60. It happened in the early
hours. From his notes, he was observing

15
00:04:08,990 --> 00:04:10,250
Venus. He took these.

16
00:04:10,870 --> 00:04:11,789
They're formed.

17
00:04:11,790 --> 00:04:12,790
Yeah, so am I.

18
00:04:13,510 --> 00:04:15,710
It's a curious death, Mrs. Peel.

19
00:04:15,950 --> 00:04:16,950
It's the first?

20
00:04:17,190 --> 00:04:18,190
So far.

21
00:05:44,490 --> 00:05:46,070
Found him here, Mrs. Peel. Oh.

22
00:05:47,310 --> 00:05:48,310
Gray?

23
00:05:49,210 --> 00:05:52,230
No, white, identical to Cosgrove. Any
connection?

24
00:05:52,590 --> 00:05:54,110
Keen astronomers, that's about all.

25
00:05:54,330 --> 00:05:56,050
Oh, both had their eyes on Venus.

26
00:05:57,470 --> 00:05:59,210
Steve, the film, it's missing.

27
00:05:59,550 --> 00:06:00,409
It isn't, you know.

28
00:06:00,410 --> 00:06:02,730
Ah. Think it will show some bug -eyed
monster.

29
00:06:03,150 --> 00:06:05,470
Whatever it was, it turned two men
white.

30
00:06:05,690 --> 00:06:08,490
Although I shouldn't have thought Hadley
would have cared that easily. He's a

31
00:06:08,490 --> 00:06:10,310
business tycoon, extremely tough.

32
00:06:10,630 --> 00:06:12,510
With some remarkable pen friends.

33
00:06:12,890 --> 00:06:13,930
Oh. Dear.

34
00:06:14,270 --> 00:06:15,490
Freddie. Freddie?

35
00:06:15,850 --> 00:06:16,850
Well, Frederick, I suppose.

36
00:06:17,150 --> 00:06:20,830
Had a message from Venus. Next meeting,
Friday the 13th.

37
00:06:21,230 --> 00:06:23,130
Very ominous. Any signature?

38
00:06:23,470 --> 00:06:24,470
No.

39
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,280
Then look no further, dear lady, for I
am he.

40
00:07:02,780 --> 00:07:05,440
I don't believe that I've had the
pleasure.

41
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,660
Oh, Peel. Mrs. Emma Peel. How do you do?

42
00:07:09,220 --> 00:07:11,400
You look rather, well, surprised.

43
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,480
I am.

44
00:07:13,740 --> 00:07:17,040
Frankly, when I read your card, I didn't
expect to... Ah, it was the name that

45
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:17,799
fooled you.

46
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,220
Bert Smith. It always does.

47
00:07:20,020 --> 00:07:24,140
Actually, it's Bertram Fortescue
Winthrop Smythe, to be absolutely

48
00:07:24,380 --> 00:07:25,620
Had to change it, of course.

49
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,019
Of course.

50
00:07:27,020 --> 00:07:28,640
Firstly, it was too long to go on the
card.

51
00:07:29,220 --> 00:07:33,760
And such a name is a terrible
disadvantage in this business. After

52
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,340
heard of anyone having their chimney
swept by a fortescue Winthrop's mize?

53
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,400
Who indeed?

54
00:07:39,860 --> 00:07:41,560
Yes, it's sheer prejudice, Mrs. Peel.

55
00:07:41,980 --> 00:07:44,820
Yes, they'll have me in for cocktails,
but if I so much as go near their

56
00:07:44,820 --> 00:07:46,540
chimneys... You're out.

57
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,240
Ostracized. Social death. Exactly, and
terribly unfair, too. You see, sweeping

58
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,920
chimneys is all I'm really fitted for.
See anything I know.

59
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,560
Now...

60
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,440
Family tradition, man and boy. We've
been chasing up chimneys since William

61
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,880
Conqueror. Sir Matthew Fortescue
Winthrop Smythe was actually knighted

62
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,540
services rendered to Queen Anne Flew.

63
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:07,740
That I'd dally on.

64
00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:14,860
Dear lady, please forgive me how ill
-mannered of me. I didn't inquire your

65
00:08:14,860 --> 00:08:15,739
business here.

66
00:08:15,740 --> 00:08:17,980
Now, is it a maladjusted smokestack?

67
00:08:18,420 --> 00:08:20,160
No. A bothersome burner?

68
00:08:20,460 --> 00:08:22,680
No. It's the Frederick Hadley.

69
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,260
Old Freddie Hadders. You're a friend of
his.

70
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,760
I've met him in a professional capacity.

71
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,480
Professional? Oh, well, then you must be
interested in astronomy.

72
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:35,320
Intensely. Oh, perfectly marvellous.

73
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,080
Then we have something in common.

74
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,000
We have?

75
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,120
Yes.

76
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,600
Yes.

77
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:45,440
Astronomy is my second love, after
chimneys, of course. But the two go hand

78
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,240
hand, really. You see, in my position,
sweeping chimneys, the thing I see most

79
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,240
of is the sky.

80
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,800
glinting away up there at the top of a
gypsum brick. Long flue, double burner,

81
00:08:56,980 --> 00:09:00,600
triple stacked, haze and haze, mark
three chimney.

82
00:09:00,900 --> 00:09:02,620
A tiny patch of sky.

83
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,680
What more natural than that I should
become interested in astronomy?

84
00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:08,160
It had to happen.

85
00:09:08,460 --> 00:09:10,640
Now, are you going to become a member of
the BVS?

86
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,120
BVS? Yes, we all are, you know.

87
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,860
Freddy, me, all the enthusiasts.

88
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,660
I'll probably be on watching duty
tonight.

89
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,239
Watching what?

90
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,280
Oh, Venus, of course.

91
00:09:20,990 --> 00:09:22,010
For the BVS.

92
00:09:22,530 --> 00:09:24,330
British Venusian Society.

93
00:09:24,990 --> 00:09:25,990
Oh.

94
00:09:27,730 --> 00:09:29,190
To the British what?

95
00:09:30,110 --> 00:09:31,350
Venusian Society.

96
00:09:31,930 --> 00:09:36,990
Hadley, Cosgrove and Bert from
Fortescue, Winthrop, Smythe, they're all

97
00:09:37,450 --> 00:09:39,030
They do some sort of nightly watch.

98
00:09:39,630 --> 00:09:41,390
Do you get that print from Hadley's
camera?

99
00:09:41,850 --> 00:09:43,610
Funny you should ask.

100
00:09:44,310 --> 00:09:45,490
Most peculiar.

101
00:09:46,190 --> 00:09:49,450
Looks like a fireball charging
throughout a space.

102
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,040
Oh, can't we lie down?

103
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:58,920
Mrs.

104
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:07,800
Peel!

105
00:10:51,650 --> 00:10:53,170
British Venusian Society.

106
00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:04,970
Venus, a man called Teeds arrived.

107
00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:06,430
Does he look interesting?

108
00:11:07,030 --> 00:11:10,730
Extremely. Then show him in, Mr.
Crawford. Show him in.

109
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,240
I am Venus Brown, Secretary of the
British Venusian Society.

110
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,160
How do you do? I'm John Steed.

111
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,460
You have a beautiful golden aura.

112
00:11:38,740 --> 00:11:40,520
Oh, how very nice of you to say so.

113
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,220
Find yourself a comfortable seat, Mr.
Steed.

114
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:44,620
Oh, thank you.

115
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:47,120
I understand you wish to apply.

116
00:11:47,380 --> 00:11:48,380
To apply for membership.

117
00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:51,240
We are a very small, select group.

118
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,500
Good. I abhor overcrowding. With
stringent rules.

119
00:11:56,180 --> 00:11:58,180
I shall obey them stringently.

120
00:11:58,540 --> 00:12:00,360
And a very high subscription.

121
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:01,960
The sky's the limit.

122
00:12:02,460 --> 00:12:03,740
A two -coiny phrase.

123
00:12:04,180 --> 00:12:06,940
We're not composed of elderly
eccentrics, Mr. Seed.

124
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:08,920
I can see that.

125
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,580
We choose our membership with great
care. Good. You are a keen astronomer.

126
00:12:14,020 --> 00:12:17,100
Dedicated. I cut my baby teeth on a
telescope.

127
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:18,840
Your occupation?

128
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,380
Following father's footsteps.

129
00:12:22,140 --> 00:12:26,600
He spent his life depositing money. I
spent mine withdrawing it.

130
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,240
How lovely.

131
00:12:29,260 --> 00:12:31,380
You're familiar with our activities, Mr.
Seed?

132
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,180
Some of them, but do go on. Tell me all
about them. Well, firstly, we oppose the

133
00:12:36,180 --> 00:12:37,180
present space program.

134
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,920
I didn't realize we had one.

135
00:12:40,180 --> 00:12:42,840
But we shall, Mr. Seed. We shall.

136
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,360
And our efforts won't be squandered on
the moon.

137
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,340
Our target is the planet Venus.

138
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:50,320
There's evidence it could support life.

139
00:12:50,580 --> 00:12:51,640
We believe it does.

140
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,820
For years, we've detected radio signals.

141
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,120
From Venus?

142
00:12:55,620 --> 00:12:56,700
From that direction.

143
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,320
Our members keep watch every night for
any signs of life.

144
00:13:00,540 --> 00:13:01,600
Oh, good.

145
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,540
Have they spotted anything? Some flashes
of white light?

146
00:13:05,780 --> 00:13:10,380
Behind those clouds, Mr. Steed, are
beings.

147
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,900
I hope they have a friendly aura.

148
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,460
Who can say?

149
00:15:00,810 --> 00:15:01,810
you

150
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:48,400
But to launch a private space program
would take enormous capital.

151
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,080
Indeed it will.

152
00:15:50,900 --> 00:15:54,520
We can't hope to compete with the major
powers.

153
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,160
Our aim is a small satellite.

154
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,860
But you'd need the know -how.

155
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,560
Which we have.

156
00:16:03,220 --> 00:16:05,180
Well, I was trained at Jodrell Bank.

157
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,000
Mr. Crawford is a radio astronomer.

158
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,100
And then, of course, there are a host of
others.

159
00:16:13,450 --> 00:16:14,590
Yes, but the cards.

160
00:16:15,070 --> 00:16:16,990
Phineas is extremely persuasive.

161
00:16:17,370 --> 00:16:19,690
We've acquired the backing of the
Cuthbert Foundation.

162
00:16:20,050 --> 00:16:25,330
You must be persuasive. We also lean
heavily upon our members.

163
00:16:25,690 --> 00:16:28,990
Oh. Well, I have a broad aura.

164
00:16:29,290 --> 00:16:35,070
We will gladly accept a contribution,
Mr. Steed, but after your election.

165
00:16:35,570 --> 00:16:37,530
First, you must have an eye test.

166
00:16:38,530 --> 00:16:40,030
An eye test?

167
00:16:40,890 --> 00:16:44,130
One false sighting could discredit the
society.

168
00:16:44,650 --> 00:16:45,890
But I'm a first -class shot.

169
00:16:46,150 --> 00:16:48,830
No exceptions, Mr. Steed.

170
00:16:49,090 --> 00:16:51,490
Now, I suggest you visit our Dr.

171
00:16:51,730 --> 00:16:53,390
Primble. Primble.

172
00:18:30,510 --> 00:18:32,970
Oh, Mrs. Peel. Now, where have you been?

173
00:18:33,210 --> 00:18:35,150
Chasing an unidentified object.

174
00:18:35,450 --> 00:18:38,530
That's the vernacular, isn't it? An
unidentified object?

175
00:18:38,890 --> 00:18:39,890
A sphere.

176
00:18:40,110 --> 00:18:41,850
A ball of bright light.

177
00:18:42,210 --> 00:18:43,210
A thing.

178
00:18:43,330 --> 00:18:45,070
Oh, from outer space?

179
00:18:45,470 --> 00:18:47,370
Ah, you're not trapping me into an
opinion.

180
00:18:47,810 --> 00:18:49,270
It's very, very strange.

181
00:18:49,650 --> 00:18:51,350
Unlike anything I've ever seen before.

182
00:18:52,170 --> 00:18:55,190
If it sparks you want, our gentleman's
sweep is dead.

183
00:18:55,910 --> 00:18:57,350
Even the soot was white.

184
00:18:57,930 --> 00:19:01,490
Well, he was one of five names on the
duty roster at the BVS. Now, three of

185
00:19:01,490 --> 00:19:02,389
are dead.

186
00:19:02,390 --> 00:19:04,750
You'd better get to the other two before
anybody else does.

187
00:19:05,430 --> 00:19:06,690
Start with Mansford.

188
00:19:07,010 --> 00:19:08,010
And you?

189
00:19:08,850 --> 00:19:10,310
I'm going to have my eyes tested.

190
00:20:12,810 --> 00:20:13,930
Dr. Primble, I presume.

191
00:20:14,230 --> 00:20:15,230
You presume right.

192
00:20:15,910 --> 00:20:18,230
What are you looking for?

193
00:20:18,450 --> 00:20:20,110
Oh, contact lenses here somewhere.

194
00:20:21,890 --> 00:20:22,890
Is that it?

195
00:20:28,770 --> 00:20:31,350
Yes, that's it. I got it.

196
00:20:33,390 --> 00:20:34,390
Oh, thank you.

197
00:20:36,910 --> 00:20:38,930
Well, much obliged, Mr.

198
00:20:39,290 --> 00:20:40,290
Steed.

199
00:20:40,510 --> 00:20:41,510
Steed?

200
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,160
Steve, have you an appointment?

201
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,900
No. And I can't see you. I never see
anyone without an appointment. Can I

202
00:20:46,900 --> 00:20:47,879
one? Oh, certainly.

203
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,100
How about today at 2 .45?

204
00:20:50,620 --> 00:20:51,840
Oh, that suits me fine. Take a seat.

205
00:20:58,460 --> 00:21:01,940
I'm so sorry, Mrs. Peel. I'm afraid
you've just missed Lord Mansford.

206
00:21:02,220 --> 00:21:03,260
When do you expect him back?

207
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,600
He isn't out.

208
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:08,040
He's in the vault, perusing his art
treasures.

209
00:21:09,380 --> 00:21:11,160
Security. It's a time lock.

210
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,960
Nobody gets in and he can't get out
until the clock strikes three.

211
00:22:00,810 --> 00:22:01,830
From the top of you, please.

212
00:22:06,790 --> 00:22:08,630
Truby Homberg, bowler cap.

213
00:22:09,490 --> 00:22:11,050
Jockey, pork pie topper.

214
00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:13,550
Boater, Busby Fez. Bravo. Excellent.

215
00:22:13,770 --> 00:22:14,950
That's what I told Miss Pryor.

216
00:22:16,010 --> 00:22:17,010
Not through yet.

217
00:22:31,470 --> 00:22:33,350
So you hope to join us, Mr. Steed?

218
00:22:33,590 --> 00:22:34,590
Can't wait.

219
00:22:34,790 --> 00:22:35,790
The cup?

220
00:22:35,910 --> 00:22:37,390
Done. Left?

221
00:22:37,710 --> 00:22:38,710
Right.

222
00:22:41,150 --> 00:22:45,050
Have you seen Miss Brown's new book,
Venus, Our Sister Planet?

223
00:22:45,290 --> 00:22:46,290
I've got it on order.

224
00:22:46,710 --> 00:22:50,490
It's come the Bible to our society,
though I must confess I find the trifle

225
00:22:50,490 --> 00:22:52,210
disconcerting. Oh, in what way?

226
00:22:52,830 --> 00:22:57,290
If there's life on Venus, it certainly
isn't as we know it. It's hot up there,

227
00:22:57,370 --> 00:22:58,229
very hot.

228
00:22:58,230 --> 00:22:59,450
Too hot for humans?

229
00:22:59,950 --> 00:23:00,950
Precisely.

230
00:23:01,420 --> 00:23:03,940
Although, of course, life can exist in
many forms.

231
00:23:04,740 --> 00:23:07,420
Solid, liquid, gas.

232
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:10,740
I pump the gas.

233
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,240
Very fiery gas.

234
00:23:48,610 --> 00:23:51,050
Eyes perfect, Mr. Steed. Welcome to the
fold.

235
00:23:52,170 --> 00:23:56,250
And on the cover, her impression of
Venus.

236
00:23:58,330 --> 00:23:59,590
How extraordinary.

237
00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:07,019
Where did you get these?

238
00:24:07,020 --> 00:24:09,780
Taken with an astro -camera last night.

239
00:24:10,420 --> 00:24:11,420
What is it, Doctor?

240
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,200
I warned them.

241
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:14,920
Venus, Crawford.

242
00:24:15,540 --> 00:24:16,560
I warned them all.

243
00:24:16,780 --> 00:24:17,780
What about?

244
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:19,920
This probe to Venus.

245
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,880
If you plan to invade a strange world,
they might follow suit and invade us.

246
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:27,800
Perhaps they already have.

247
00:25:21,230 --> 00:25:24,090
They were taken by a security camera in
the vault door.

248
00:25:24,810 --> 00:25:25,810
Oh,

249
00:25:30,750 --> 00:25:31,750
it's striking.

250
00:25:31,870 --> 00:25:32,870
Very.

251
00:25:33,170 --> 00:25:35,810
Through six inches of solid steel.

252
00:25:36,090 --> 00:25:37,090
Now, what could have done that?

253
00:25:37,290 --> 00:25:38,169
Something did.

254
00:25:38,170 --> 00:25:39,170
The nuisance?

255
00:25:39,450 --> 00:25:43,270
Well, we've got to the moon. Something's
bound to make a return visit someday.

256
00:25:43,950 --> 00:25:45,350
Has anything leaked out?

257
00:25:45,710 --> 00:25:47,810
Not a word. Complete security block.

258
00:25:48,230 --> 00:25:50,050
The last man on duty, watch.

259
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,320
Brigadier Whitehead, did you get him?

260
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,800
I tried to, but his phone was off the
hook.

261
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:03,120
Well, as you can hear, gentlemen, zero
hour is approaching.

262
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,920
Invasion is imminent. We must
counterattack without delay.

263
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,120
Now, you've all received your
operational orders. You, Major Collins,

264
00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:13,120
lead the 1st Battalion.

265
00:26:13,740 --> 00:26:17,440
You, Captain Smith, you will follow
through with the 2nd. And you,

266
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,460
you will command the support company.

267
00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:23,300
Right, well, that's all, gentlemen.

268
00:26:24,300 --> 00:26:25,300
Good luck.

269
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,460
As my officers departed, I drove
hurriedly to the front.

270
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,260
Shells were bursting all around us.

271
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:04,880
Complete silence.

272
00:27:05,620 --> 00:27:07,100
Brigadier. Blast.

273
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:10,040
I tried the doorbell.

274
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,920
Sorry if I'm intruding, but your phone's
off the hook. Yes, I know.

275
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:20,360
Oh, still on your memoirs. Yes, it's my
new long play on the invasion of Italy.

276
00:27:20,660 --> 00:27:22,240
Look, you must excuse me.

277
00:27:22,820 --> 00:27:26,120
Just landed at Catania when messenger
drove up.

278
00:27:33,450 --> 00:27:34,530
I tore open the dispatch.

279
00:27:39,790 --> 00:27:41,130
The group was bad.

280
00:27:41,790 --> 00:27:43,390
I'd lost my battalion commander.

281
00:27:44,050 --> 00:27:45,890
I had to reach O Group.

282
00:27:48,570 --> 00:27:51,950
I grabbed the bike from the messenger
and roared off to headquarters.

283
00:27:54,570 --> 00:27:56,070
Suddenly a grenade exploded.

284
00:27:58,290 --> 00:27:59,670
I jumped for cover.

285
00:28:01,410 --> 00:28:02,450
Can I get you a drink?

286
00:28:04,330 --> 00:28:06,110
I'd rather have a contribution.

287
00:28:06,510 --> 00:28:07,309
What, another?

288
00:28:07,310 --> 00:28:11,310
Well, if we're to launch our
satellite... You've already had 20 ,000,

289
00:28:11,830 --> 00:28:15,530
Which didn't quite pay the fuel bill.
Well, pay a few of mine, what?

290
00:28:18,030 --> 00:28:21,950
Now, Brigadier... I'm sorry, I refuse to
dip any deeper until I've had a peep at

291
00:28:21,950 --> 00:28:22,909
the account.

292
00:28:22,910 --> 00:28:23,889
The account?

293
00:28:23,890 --> 00:28:25,110
Yes, the Treasury report.

294
00:28:25,670 --> 00:28:27,250
Hadley and Mansfield are of the same
mind.

295
00:28:27,830 --> 00:28:29,490
We'd like to know where the money's
going, you know.

296
00:28:30,090 --> 00:28:32,030
Well, where do you think it's going?

297
00:28:32,350 --> 00:28:33,350
Well, that's what we'd like to know.

298
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,440
We'll discuss it later.

299
00:28:39,780 --> 00:28:40,780
Oh, Venus.

300
00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:45,520
Look, I can't manage duty watch tonight.

301
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:47,640
Battle of Palermo.

302
00:28:48,220 --> 00:28:50,360
Nearly bought it there. Had the luck of
the devil.

303
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,900
I hope it stays with you the second time
around.

304
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,240
It's hot in here today, like a ruddy
crumpet.

305
00:29:58,510 --> 00:30:02,170
I was up to my waist in murder, blinded
and choked by smoke.

306
00:30:03,010 --> 00:30:06,510
I was almost hampered by a severe
shoulder wound.

307
00:30:07,190 --> 00:30:10,810
Nevertheless, I reached for a grenade
which was just within my grasp.

308
00:30:14,070 --> 00:30:19,990
And pulled the pin with my teeth,
hurling the grenade into the enemy

309
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,540
The enemy was still advancing when...

310
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:57,620
The enemy was still advancing

311
00:31:57,620 --> 00:32:03,540
when...

312
00:32:03,540 --> 00:32:23,120
Care

313
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:23,869
for a drink?

314
00:32:23,870 --> 00:32:25,210
What on earth was all that about?

315
00:32:25,450 --> 00:32:27,350
The swan song of one Brigadier
Whitehead.

316
00:32:28,150 --> 00:32:31,470
Officer, gentleman, deceased, exit,
Brigadier Whitehead.

317
00:32:31,790 --> 00:32:32,790
Whiteheaded?

318
00:32:32,970 --> 00:32:33,970
Pattern as before.

319
00:32:34,270 --> 00:32:41,030
The enemy was still advancing when... He
died

320
00:32:41,030 --> 00:32:45,450
as he lived, in the thick of battle,
bravely facing the enemy. An enemy

321
00:32:45,450 --> 00:32:46,149
a face.

322
00:32:46,150 --> 00:32:47,150
Made some very funny noise.

323
00:32:48,110 --> 00:32:52,230
I never heard anything like it before,
did you?

324
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:53,680
Can't say I did.

325
00:32:53,980 --> 00:32:56,300
Well, it narrows down the list of people
watching Venus.

326
00:32:56,780 --> 00:32:57,820
It was always me.

327
00:32:58,340 --> 00:33:01,820
I'm a fully -fledged member of the BVS.
I volunteered for watching duty.

328
00:33:02,180 --> 00:33:04,680
I thought it was part of your policy
never to volunteer for anything.

329
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:09,200
Yes, but since you volunteered to return
the recording to Venus Brown, I thought

330
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,179
I'd volunteer.

331
00:33:10,180 --> 00:33:11,660
It's got to be telepathy.

332
00:33:23,660 --> 00:33:24,880
Where did you get this?

333
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,020
It was sent to my newspaper by a close
associate.

334
00:33:28,420 --> 00:33:29,760
Together with these photographs.

335
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,240
It was suggested we were being invaded
by Venus.

336
00:33:34,300 --> 00:33:37,140
Well, that is quite possible, Mrs. Peel.

337
00:33:38,660 --> 00:33:42,180
But, well, photographs can be faked.

338
00:33:42,580 --> 00:33:45,520
That's why I've come to see you. You're
an expert in this field. What's your

339
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:50,580
view? I couldn't say without a second
opinion.

340
00:33:54,730 --> 00:33:55,850
Oh, it's very hot in here.

341
00:33:57,130 --> 00:33:58,350
Excuse me a moment.

342
00:34:15,190 --> 00:34:16,830
I'll call on Mr. Crawford.

343
00:34:17,310 --> 00:34:20,989
He's an expert in radio astronomy. The
tape is more in his life.

344
00:34:22,949 --> 00:34:24,050
Mr. Crawford?

345
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,500
Venus, there's something I'd like you to
listen to.

346
00:34:34,500 --> 00:34:35,900
Well, what do you think?

347
00:34:37,340 --> 00:34:40,179
Oh, I see we'll have some. Can you be
here?

348
00:34:42,060 --> 00:34:43,060
Very well.

349
00:34:44,980 --> 00:34:46,699
He can't tell over the phone.

350
00:35:15,470 --> 00:35:19,770
You say five of our members, Hatley,
Cosgrove, Mansford... And Smith and

351
00:35:19,770 --> 00:35:22,510
Brigadier Whitehead, and an attack on
Miss Brown.

352
00:35:22,730 --> 00:35:23,730
Have you seen these men?

353
00:35:23,910 --> 00:35:28,350
Yes, they died of shock, their hair and
clothes bleached with an intense light.

354
00:35:28,690 --> 00:35:31,050
Then I was right, the Venusians are
here.

355
00:35:31,450 --> 00:35:33,350
Well, nothing's been reported from radar
control.

356
00:35:33,770 --> 00:35:36,850
If they're composed of gas, they'd never
be detected. They could be travelling

357
00:35:36,850 --> 00:35:37,890
with the speed of light.

358
00:35:38,190 --> 00:35:41,790
In an extraterrestrial vehicle, an
unidentified object?

359
00:35:42,130 --> 00:35:43,130
Possibly.

360
00:35:43,530 --> 00:35:45,690
Well, thank you for your help. Must go
now.

361
00:35:46,250 --> 00:35:48,570
I'm on duty tonight, observing Venus.

362
00:35:54,850 --> 00:35:55,870
Ah, Mrs. Peele.

363
00:35:57,170 --> 00:35:58,850
Yes, all set up.

364
00:35:59,950 --> 00:36:01,190
Any luck with the tape?

365
00:36:01,510 --> 00:36:05,330
Not yet. We're expecting Crawford. He's
certainly taking his time.

366
00:36:06,350 --> 00:36:09,330
Don't worry. I shan't let Venus out of
my sight.

367
00:36:09,970 --> 00:36:10,970
Me neither.

368
00:36:17,100 --> 00:36:18,440
How's it going, old chap?

369
00:36:58,480 --> 00:36:59,480
Thank you.

370
00:37:40,810 --> 00:37:43,950
Indeed. Did you see it? That flash of
light? It came from the cemetery.

371
00:37:51,490 --> 00:37:52,490
Doctor?

372
00:37:52,970 --> 00:37:53,970
Dr. Primble?

373
00:37:58,670 --> 00:37:59,670
Dr. Primble?

374
00:38:44,020 --> 00:38:45,460
Venusians. I told you.

375
00:38:46,620 --> 00:38:47,620
They're here.

376
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:49,360
They've landed.

377
00:39:04,300 --> 00:39:05,480
They're still warm.

378
00:39:05,900 --> 00:39:09,480
It was a lot warmer a little while back,
Professor. Hot enough to carbonize.

379
00:39:09,740 --> 00:39:12,340
We need a temperature of at least 2 ,000
degrees to do this.

380
00:39:13,020 --> 00:39:14,020
Really?

381
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:15,800
Wasn't a flamethrower.

382
00:39:16,140 --> 00:39:17,240
Nothing volatile.

383
00:39:17,620 --> 00:39:18,980
I saw a flash of white light.

384
00:39:19,460 --> 00:39:20,880
A flash of white light?

385
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:26,340
Hmm. It has a partiality for
gravestones, if that's any help.

386
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,460
And Dr. Primble, did he see anything?

387
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:34,260
Well, he was badly shocked. His
descriptions vary. But Mrs. Peel says,

388
00:39:34,260 --> 00:39:37,300
swears that she saw some kind of
spacecraft.

389
00:39:39,020 --> 00:39:40,020
It was silver.

390
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:42,670
Uh... Mirrored.

391
00:39:43,470 --> 00:39:44,470
Mirrored?

392
00:39:45,150 --> 00:39:46,150
Uh -huh.

393
00:39:47,230 --> 00:39:48,230
Mirrored.

394
00:39:48,550 --> 00:39:49,630
I didn't bother with it.

395
00:39:50,310 --> 00:39:52,890
But I would like to hear this recording.
Yeah, it's in my car.

396
00:39:55,470 --> 00:39:56,750
I'm sorry I was so long.

397
00:39:57,470 --> 00:39:58,550
The ministry called.

398
00:39:59,310 --> 00:40:00,310
Trimble was attacked.

399
00:40:00,470 --> 00:40:01,950
By Venusians, he said.

400
00:40:02,590 --> 00:40:03,590
Steed, too.

401
00:40:04,770 --> 00:40:07,390
It may interest you to know that he's
from the authorities.

402
00:40:07,730 --> 00:40:08,730
The authorities?

403
00:40:09,170 --> 00:40:10,330
So's your Mrs. Peel.

404
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:12,680
Oh, dear.

405
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,060
Not just yet, Mrs. Peel.

406
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,880
I don't believe in this invasion any
more than you.

407
00:40:18,260 --> 00:40:19,260
Or Venusians.

408
00:40:20,020 --> 00:40:21,440
Oh, come now, Mrs. Peel.

409
00:40:21,900 --> 00:40:26,140
Does anyone really know what's up there?
On Venus, or Mars, or even the moon?

410
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,240
Discoveries always begin as a guessing
game.

411
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,320
We may be right, we may be wrong. If you
don't explore, you don't find out.

412
00:40:33,060 --> 00:40:34,340
And we shall one day.

413
00:40:34,620 --> 00:40:36,100
Our funds are growing fast.

414
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:37,980
While your membership dwindles.

415
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,020
This is becoming a habit.

416
00:40:41,660 --> 00:40:42,660
That tape you brought.

417
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:43,880
I'd like to hear it.

418
00:40:52,420 --> 00:40:54,180
Recognize the sound, Mr. Crawford?

419
00:40:55,380 --> 00:41:00,740
I most certainly do, Mrs. Peel. The
sound of light amplification of

420
00:41:00,740 --> 00:41:01,780
emission of radiation.

421
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:04,620
In a word of two syllables, a laser
beam.

422
00:41:04,940 --> 00:41:06,100
A laser beam?

423
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:07,960
Of course.

424
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:09,560
It has a bleaching effect.

425
00:41:09,930 --> 00:41:10,930
And boils liquids.

426
00:41:10,990 --> 00:41:12,650
Plus a very distinctive sound.

427
00:41:12,970 --> 00:41:13,990
Where are they used?

428
00:41:14,310 --> 00:41:15,330
All over the place.

429
00:41:15,770 --> 00:41:18,030
Dentistry, communications, eye surgery.

430
00:41:19,630 --> 00:41:20,870
Eye surgery?

431
00:42:53,900 --> 00:42:54,900
you

432
00:43:27,950 --> 00:43:28,950
you

433
00:44:40,910 --> 00:44:42,190
And who is this?

434
00:44:42,470 --> 00:44:43,650
The one at the farm.

435
00:44:43,950 --> 00:44:45,350
Her name's Mrs. Peel.

436
00:44:45,810 --> 00:44:46,810
Friend of Steve.

437
00:44:47,230 --> 00:44:49,330
And what are we doing here, Mrs. Peel?

438
00:44:50,050 --> 00:44:51,910
Well, I haven't come here for an eye
test.

439
00:44:52,590 --> 00:44:54,510
And does Steed know you're here?

440
00:44:54,890 --> 00:44:57,850
I consider that a highly personal
question.

441
00:44:58,570 --> 00:45:03,190
Martin, I think the scientific approach
is held in good stead.

442
00:45:12,530 --> 00:45:14,690
Yes, Mrs. Beale. A laser.

443
00:45:15,350 --> 00:45:18,990
It's a rather advanced model, which I'm
sure you'd like to see in action.

444
00:45:19,870 --> 00:45:21,830
There's just one thing. Steed.

445
00:45:22,540 --> 00:45:23,780
How much does he know?

446
00:45:24,740 --> 00:45:26,540
He's in the book. Why don't you call
him?

447
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,180
Martin, we've been hoping for a guinea
pig.

448
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:32,600
I think we've found one.

449
00:46:05,380 --> 00:46:06,380
Excellent.

450
00:46:07,500 --> 00:46:09,320
Not from where I'm sitting.

451
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,140
Ah, sense of humor. Admirable.

452
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:20,140
Mine vanished when the Cuthbert
Foundation began diverting its funds

453
00:46:20,140 --> 00:46:23,260
medical research to the Society's space
project.

454
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:28,260
I couldn't beat them, so I joined them,
and now I've almost destroyed them.

455
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,660
With Venusians as an alibi.

456
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,360
An original one, you'd admit.

457
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:33,900
It's about all I will admit.

458
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:35,280
You know...

459
00:46:36,140 --> 00:46:38,100
This model is remarkably accurate.

460
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:42,860
It can drill holes in diamonds and go
through steel plate like butter.

461
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:47,100
But as for living tissue, we should just
have to experiment.

462
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,020
Feeling more cooperative?

463
00:47:14,660 --> 00:47:17,180
No. I feel positively stubborn.

464
00:47:17,540 --> 00:47:20,780
Your last chance, Mrs. Peel. You've seen
what it does to people.

465
00:47:21,240 --> 00:47:24,420
Well, it's quicker than a peroxide
rinse.

466
00:47:25,900 --> 00:47:26,900
Very well.

467
00:48:44,330 --> 00:48:45,330
down with mirrors.

468
00:48:47,710 --> 00:48:49,230
Thank you, Steve.

469
00:48:50,250 --> 00:48:51,330
Are you ready?

470
00:48:52,450 --> 00:48:53,450
My hat.

471
00:49:03,550 --> 00:49:04,550
Hey.

472
00:49:06,970 --> 00:49:08,330
Might catch on.

473
00:49:09,110 --> 00:49:10,130
You think so?

474
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,360
He could have made a fortune out of his
laser device.

475
00:49:24,220 --> 00:49:25,960
What, with the communications business?

476
00:49:26,300 --> 00:49:27,500
The laundry business.

477
00:49:28,580 --> 00:49:30,820
Just think of all those white, white
shirts.

478
00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:35,480
You do a very good job on my lemon -spot
pyjamas.

479
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:39,340
Hungry? One meal away from malnutrition.

480
00:49:39,720 --> 00:49:40,980
We're having dinner on Venus.

481
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:42,680
On Venus?

482
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,320
Venus Brown, her society is so delighted
with us, they're giving us a slap -up

483
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:47,320
dinner.

484
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,060
Oh, you didn't really think that we were
going to have... I saw my Earth in

485
00:49:51,060 --> 00:49:55,800
orbit. Dinner amid the stars. A table
for two overlooking the galactic sea.

486
00:49:56,740 --> 00:50:00,400
Or a big crater or something or other.
The head waiter, beady -eyed, looming

487
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,600
over us. But none of your favourite
wines. No wine? Not up there.

488
00:50:03,820 --> 00:50:05,540
You know your claret doesn't travel.
