Joe 90
Joe 90 is a 1968 Sylvia and Gerry Anderson television show which used a form of puppetry called "Supermarionation", concerning the adventures of a nine-year-old boy, Joe McClaine, who could be programmed with any imaginable skill using a large computer called BIGRAT (an acronym for Brain Impulse Galvanoscope Record And Transfer). He was able to fly jet airplanes, perform surgery, and so on by copying the skills from the minds of top experts in their fields. He worked as a secret agent for the World Intelligence Network. Like Anderson's previous series, the show regularly features rescue operations, secret worldwide organizations, complicated gadgetry, terrorism, and threats to the entire world.
