The planet is Venus.

 On 1993 Jan. 13 00:32:10UT Venus was 110,183,035km (68,464,564 miles)
 from Earth. It can come within 40 million km (25 million miles) of
 Earth. Venus' orbit is the most circular of all the planets (e=0.00678).
 Its perihelion distance is about 107,470,000km (66,780,000 miles) and its
 aphelion distance is about 108,946,000 km (67,696,000 miles).

 As you are in the U.K. what you need to do is call the new telephone
 ASTRONOMY AND SPACE HOTLINE on 0891-88-1950 which will tell you what to
 see in the sky over the British Isles every week (full update every
 Sunday night but listen out for news of the discovery of new comets or
 novae mid-week). Calls cost 48p/min peak, 36p/min all other times. You
 should then be able to locate Mars and Jupiter as well as the Russian
 space station Mir with two men on board. All are visible to the naked eye.
