In the 21st century, Jeff Tracy, a former astronaut, amasses a colossal fortune and decides that he must use it to benefit others. His answer to this desire is to create International Rescue, a unique private emergency response service equipped with customed designed vehicles and equipment that enable the organization to react to any crisis whether it be in sea, air, land, or space. Jeff's five sons volunteer to operate as the pilots and field agents, as well "Brains" (alias Hiram B. Hackenbaker) as the team engineer. In addition, Jeff's friend, Kyrano and his daughter Tin Tin agree to be the support staff. In addition to the field team, IR also maintains an intelligence network with Lady Penelope and her ex-con chauffer, Parker as the chief agents in this arm. The series depicts this team as they answer various calls for help around and beyond the world while they prevent enemies like the Hood from learning and exploiting their secrets Written by Kenneth Chisholm <kchishol@execulink.com>
This is one of the most innovative shows to ever come out of Britain. I really loved the idea of marionettes being the main characters and all the cool ships (Thunderbird 2 will always be my favorite). The only flaw I could see with the show is that you never actually saw the puppets move, as in walking. They were either sitting down or standing still. Too bad that the Sci-Fi Channel isn't showing this wonderful series. Not all of us have Tech T.V..
