BACKGROUND

Terrahawks...Stay on this channel.This is an Emergency!

Fourteen years after the semi disaster that was The Secret Service, Gerry
Anderson contacted all his old mates to create an up to date,brand new puppet
show that brought a new word to it's technical achievment called SuperMacromation.

These new marionettes had no strings and were operated from beneath which 
they hoped would give more expression on their faces and bodies. The series relied
to much on Anderson's previous TV hits (right down to having a Rolls Royce that
talked called Hudson!) and it did not take off as everyone had hoped. 

A brave experiment though that tried a little to hard to be the new Thunderbirds!
