A bizarre mix of Supermarionation and live-action which was cancelled after 13 episodes because Lew Grade didn’t like Stanley Unwin’s gobbledygook. That’s the history of Gerry & Sylvia Anderson’s The Secret Service as most sources dish it out. It’s usually framed as a weird footnote in the Anderson story in between the steady waters of Joe 90 and the big comeback with UFO. Some critics accuse the Andersons of being either uninspired or unhinged when they devised the series’ format and that it was doomed to fail from the start because the adventures of a super-spy-priest and his shrinking gardener couldn’t possibly make good TV.
