Baron Fortesque, your basic mad scientist, built a machine to tamper with, as they say, "the very fabric of space and time." It's not clear exactly what the device was supposed to do, but what it actually did--and here's a bit of history I bet you didn't know--was transform all of England into a bizarre, savage landscape teeming with armored green mutants sporting really awful teeth. Since today's Brits are, for the most part, largely non-green and unarmored (though some might argue that the teeth are still a problem), it's obvious someone stepped in to restore the UK we all know and love. Stranger things have happened.
"Cycle tracks will abound in Utopia." H. G. Wells (1866-1946)

All characters and events in this teleplay are fictitious and any similarity to actual events or persons, living or dead, is purely co-incidental.

Music by Laurie Johnson
Starring Patrick Macnee as John Steed,
Diana Rigg as Emma Peel.
Barbara Shelley Venus Browne
Philip Locke Dr Henry Primble

Principal items of Mr Macnee's wardrobe designed by Pierre Cardin

Mrs Peel is called away from her fencing practice by Steed's arrival.
They have to investigate when astronomers start turning white while observing Venus. Have the Venusians invaded earth, as Primble suggests to Steed? Are aliens killing the rich patrons of the British Venusian Society?
Steed is unconvinced and when they discover a tape recording of the aliens is in fact a laser warming up it's clear that Primble is behind it all. A deadly fight ensues and Emma is strapped in for corrective eye surgery.
The Avengers are invited to "have dinner on Venus", after dispatching Primble with his own laser, but Steed worries about his Claret not travelling well.

Brian Fortescue (d'après Sir A. Conan Doyle)

(Acte II) Le Ver d'Isadora Persano
(d’après Sir A. Conan Doyle)

Jeux : Aventures Extraordinaires & Machinations Infernales
Document : Scénario
Numéro : Cent Prétentions n°7
Auteur : Nicolas Palmier

voltaire

"Une troisième histoire digne d'être citée est celle d'Isadora Persano, le journaliste et duelliste bien connu qui un matin fut trouvé fou devant une boîte d'allumettes contenant un ver mystérieux que la science ignorait."
Sir A. Conan Doyle Le Problème du pont de Thor
(....)
Question de dates
Sinon, c'est dans l'enchaînement des faits que réside la solution à cette énigme. En effet, Pilar ou B. Garcia pourront préciser que les deux "cambriolages" dont a été victime Persano ont eu lieu les 15 février et 20 mars 1890. Soit exactement la veille des deux derniers duels de Persano, avec B. Fortescue et S. Orvaz.
Par ailleurs, on note que
Fortescue est mort le 30 mai 1890, c'est-à-dire après Orvaz qui est mort fin avril. Autre fait, le premier a été blessé au flanc, alors que le second a été touché au cou.
Qu'en conclure me direz-vous ? Eh bien, tout simplement que le ver de Persano, espèce de larve minuscule, n'est rien d'autre que l'un des monstres les plus terrifiants qui aient jamais menacé l'humanité : l'agent microscopique de la rage ! Si vos PJ ont cette intuition, il ne leur reste qu'à obtenir confirmation auprès d'un biologiste.
