Thunderbirds: The Imposters

Okay, The Thunderbirds is a superanimation puppetshow from 1960s, but that doesn't change the fact that watching some episodes today is damn irritating.

I'm watching "The Imposters" episode, in which a couple of crooks pretended to be International Rescue. So Lady Penelope is sent to the US to track down the villains. She walks along in her high-heeled shoes, falls into mud, and generally acts like a spoiled brat. The villains are in a mine, and she pulls out a gun and it shoots mud, so she whines about that, so loudly that the crooks here her and get the drop on them. Fortunately a hillbilly and his mother - who are agents of International Rescue, didn't believe that Lady Penelope could do the job - as indeed she couldn't - and followed them. The guy saves the day.

Pisses me off no end!
