The Secret Service – 6. Errand of Mercy

Picture an episode of Supercar about Mike Mercury and the team at Black Rock flying medical supplies to the heart of Africa, traversing mountains, desert, jungles, and hostile enemy airspace in the process. Doesn’t sound that out of the ordinary does it? It’s a textbook action-adventure plot for Supercar. Would it be a storyline particularly out of place in a later Supermarionation show such as Thunderbirds or Joe 90? Maybe its a little pedestrian for those shows and would need further development, but its not out of the question. Now, to get to the rather laboured point, what about The Secret Service?
