List of episodes
"The Perils of Penelope" is an episode of Thunderbirds, a British Supermarionation television series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson and filmed by their production company AP Films (APF, later Century 21 Productions) for ITC Entertainment. Directed by Alan Pattillo and Desmond Saunders from a script by Pattillo, it was first broadcast on 14 October 1965 on ATV Midlands as the third episode of Series One. It is the 12th episode in the official running order.[2]
Set in the 2060s, Thunderbirds follows the missions of International Rescue, a secret organisation which uses technologically-advanced rescue vehicles to save human life. The lead characters are ex-astronaut Jeff Tracy, the founder of International Rescue, and his five adult sons, who pilot the organisation's primary fleet of vehicles – the Thunderbird machines. In "The Perils of Penelope", International Rescue field agent Lady Penelope investigates the kidnapping of a scientist: the inventor of a revolutionary fuel which, in the wrong hands, could cause ecological disaster and threaten the political stability of the world.
In 1966, Century 21 released a 21-minute audio adaptation on vinyl EP record (code MA 114) narrated by voice actor David Graham as Parker. "The Perils of Penelope" had its first UK-wide network transmission on 15 November 1991 on BBC2.[2][3]
