Unpopular opinion: Gerry Anderson shows looked great - but the stories were rubbish. Space 1999 - what the hell was going on there with it's hippy-dippy metaphysical stuff? And Thunderbirds, at least they sort of made sense, but plot holes ahoy.
I still love them though.
Anyway, I didn't know about "The Investigator", a show that didn't even make it all the way through a proper pilot episode. You can see why - two teenagers shrunk to 1/3 size for no apparent reason and a plot revolving around stopping the theft of a painting.
Still, there were a couple of funky vehicles, and Dinky made models of them despite the searies never happening.
They did have some strong female leads tho' (even fighter pilots), unusual even today.
ReplyDeleteGood point - they were ahead of their time in some respects.
