This mix of Joe 90 type special agents being shrunk to six inch high puppets in the real world and fighting crime is not of one Gerry Andersons finest hours. A not disiimilar idea had been tried out in the US TV show 'Land of the Giants' a few years previously, of which this feels like a pale variation. This has a hurried feel to it and the idea is not just silly but also makes almost no sense. Fortunately Anderson abandoned the idea after this pilot as I suspect the scriptwiters would have run out of ideas quite quickly. I think Anderson dodged a bullet here when this didn't go beyond this expensively made pilot episode.
