Network continues its release of Gerry Anderson series on DVD this month with the short-lived Supermarionation series THE SECRET SERVICE. Father Unwin is no normal vicar – he is an agent of BISHOP (British Intelligence Secret Headquarters, Operation Priest) who, with Matthew the gardener, fights crime in a most peculiar and unique fashion. He also has access to a fabulous machine that enables him to shrink both people and objects to a third of their normal size.
Originally only shown in one ITV region, this is arguably the least well-known of his series and is rarely seen on television. This DVD – the first time it has been made available in this format – contains all thirteen episodes and a number of extras, including contributions from its creator, Gerry Anderson.
This set features the following episodes as well as Gerry Anderson commentaries, an Image Gallery and Script PDFs. • A Case For The Bishop • A Question Of Miracles • The Feathered Spies • To Catch A Spy • Last Train To Bufflers Halt • Errand Of Mercy • The Deadly Whisper • Hole In One • Recall To Service • The Cure • School For Spies • May-Day, May-Day! • More Haste Less Speed
