Secret Service is a little known and vastly undervalued masterpiece. Stanley "Gobbledegook" Unwin as a country vicar with a sideline in espionage and a machine that shrinks his son so that he can become The Boy In A Suitcase and get himself into all sorts of escapades.

It was only ever broadcast the once, but it made a huge impression on my then 8 year old mind. After years of searching, I got it on DVDVDVD a few years back and it's wonderful.

Where's the imagination in modern telly programmes (Horrible Histories excepted)?
