SECRET SERVICE - 6 episodes 1969 NEVER BROADCAST
IN US. Fr.Stanley Unwin, a double talking priest, is in reality
an agent working for
BISHOP (British Intelligence Supreme Headquarters, Operation Priest).
Armed with a "miniturizer" hidden in a bible, he and
his assistant/handyman Matthew, usually shrunken down and traveling
in
a specially outfitted suitcase, enter the world of cloak and dagger.
The unique item of this series is that if a task was too complex
for a marionette to perform, a live actor would do it (pickup
up guns, diving behind barrels during a gunfight, etc..). So most
the marionettes (NOT PUPPETS!) had to look like the actor supplying
the
voice and 2 sets of stages had to be built. One for the marionettes,
one for the full size actors. |
