| Plot |
| Father Unwin appears to be a typical parish priest, but he owns a unique device that can shrink people to a fraction of their normal size. When the government learns of the "minimizer," they recruit Unwin to their secret B.I.S.H.O.P. program and assign a top-notch agent, Matthew Harding, as his assistant. Together, they use the minimizer to perform a series of dangerous missions.Gerry Anderson's (Thunderbirds, Space: 1999) final Supermarionation series, The Secret Service combined live action and miniature sequences and drew the talents of the legendary British comic and vocal master Stanley Unwin, who voiced the Father in his trademark "Unwinese" language. Available in America for the first time ever, this DVD collection includes all 13 episodes of the unconventional, rare series that Anderson regarded as his most charming.Volume 1A Case for the BishopA miniaturized Matthew sneaks aboard an ambassador's plane to recover a stolen mini-computer.A Question of MiraclesFather Unwin and Matthew investigate suspected sabotage at desalination plants.To Catch a SpyAn escaped spy appears to be taking refuge at the estate of the influential Sir Humphrey Burton.The Feathered SpiesSomeone is snapping photos of an experimental fighter plane from restricted airspace.Last Train to Bufflers HaltFather Unwin and Matthew are assigned to protect a shipment of £1 million.Hole in OneFather Unwin plays a round of golf with a general suspected of unwittingly leaking secrets. |
