About this episode

The episode features Lois Unwin Johnston discussing her father Stanley Unwin's role in the underrated series The Secret Service.

We were so lucky to be joined by Lois Unwin Johnston to watch her father Stanley Unwin in an episode of The Secret Service! Reckoned by some as an underated gem, the series only ran for 13 episodes before being cancelled by the man with the money, Lew Grade. But there is still fun to be had inn watching The Feathered Spies, a tale of espionage, aviation and pigeons!
