Thunderbirds The Duchess Assignment review

Here's what you need to know; the Duchess of Royston has found herself in some financial trouble after a stop at a sketchy casino, and Penelope and Jeff decide to help her out. the deal goes very pair shaped however when the Duchess is kidnapped in an attempt to steal a priceless painting, and now International Rescue are on the hunt for the missing Duchess.

This episode is an interesting one, 1, the Duchess isn't very bright it seems, and what's more amusing is her voice, which is probably the stupidest thing in this episode. Other than that though this episode starts off very well, with a fun shootout and car chase. Things slow down a lot after that though, with Jeff amusingly trying to sound English at an airshow and visiting an art gallery. the humour in this episode does a good job of keeping things moving, with a really funny few bits with the Giselle company, with the elevator than sounds more like a Dalek than Braman, if that's possible, but things do slow down for sure until the end. Fortunately the Rescue really saves this episode. both in it's explosive opening and it's fiery climax, and the mole, which is always cool, but the new machine used in this episode looks really cool too, and it's always cool to get more Thunderbirds equipment. All in all this is a short review for a fairy straightforward episode of Thunderbirds, nothing stands out at terribly bad, apart from the Duchess, who is a bit dumb and has a laughable voice, but the humour works and the rescue is awesome, it's no Move and you're Dead, but it's still worth a watch.
