~Synopsis~ ********* The human race is under threat of extinction by the evil Zelda and her minions of killer robots. She has travelled from her home world of Guk and set up her base on mars. Firstly though she has had to destroy the earth base that was there. She now aims all of her destruction towards earth in the hope of clearing the planet for her own race. The UN High Command appoints Doctor 'Tiger' Ninestein to equip and train an elite fighting force to defend the world against the evil Zelda and her robotic aggressors.
They are called TERRAHAWKS. The team is made up of: 'Tiger' Ninestein himself, Captain Kate Kestrel Captain Mary Falconer, Lieutenant Hiro, Lieutenant Hawkeye, Sergeant Major Zero, Space Sergeant 101 And of course the memorable 'Zeroids'.
They establish their base, Hawknest, in South America they begin developing and implementing their sophisticated weaponry which will now be used in defence of earth. And hopefully the destruction of Zelda.
~Episodes~ ********** 14. TO CATCH A TIGER Zelda and her captures the two-man crew of a space transporter. They are held hostage and Zelda will only release them in exchange for Ninestein. The Terrahawks leader must face his enemy on her own territory.
15. THE MIDAS TOUCH The world's gold reserves are locked in a space Fort Knox. Zelda realises that the destruction of this space ship would cause economic havoc. She sends Krell to Earth where the Terrahawks must destroy it.
16. OPERATION SAS Kate is held captive by Yungstar and Yuri the Space Bear. The rescue mission is in the 'hands' of Zero and his zeroids, SAS style.
17. Ten Pop Pop Yungstar listens to pop music from Earth on his 'Ferret' but Zelda decides to transmit back. She takes control of Stew Dapples, the A & R man at Anderburr Records, to aid her in the next attack on Earth.~Opinions~ ********** I remember watching these as a child. All of the characters faces where easily spotted straight away. The stories are standard Gerry Anderson and the obvious connections with his other series Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons, Thunderbirds, fireball Xl5, Stingray, Joe 90 etc.. are clearly seen. The animation even today will be loved by kids, of all ages ahem. The colour and crispness qualities of the episodes are perfect. With only one disc you still get a lot of stuff to look through from the episodes themselves through biographies, profiles, scripts etc.
Well worth the money if only for the trip down memory lane and a journey through nostalgia.

Review of Terrahawks - Vol. 4 - Episodes 14 To 17 (DVD)
Four adventures including: 'To Catch A Tiger', 'The Midas Touch', 'Operation SAS' and 'Ten Top Pop' which finds a new communications device designed by Yungstar, being used by Zelda to take control of Stew Dapples.
This early-1980s Gerry Anderson production, set in the year 2020, follows the elite Terrahawks, a powerful team that defends the Earth from the evil Zelda and her minions. The collection features more adventures of those bizarre-looking puppets.
