PUPPETS
Puppets and a human star appear in a new series, “The Secret Service" from I.T.C. The man who also features in the puppet sequences through the use of an uncannily realistic puppet "double” is comedian Stanley Unwin. He plays an amiable country vicar who unexpectedly finds himself working for British Intelligence because a late parishioner has left in his keeping a device which can shrink a person or an object to a third of normal size.
“The Secret Service” was created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson (of “Stingray” and “Thunderbirds” fame) and begins screening from all channels, late afternoon, on Monday.
