Mrs. Harris is about 55 years old.
Born in London. She visits the cottage every day to clean and sometimes
makes small meals (Mrs. Thursday type). She is thoroughly dependable but
not very imaginative when it comes to understanding the unusual interests
and activities of the McClaine family.
Biographical details taken
from the Joe 90 "writers' guide", written by series' script editor
Tony Barwick and scriptwriter Shane Rimmer based on the format and
characters developed by Gerry & Sylvia Anderson. The writers were
obviously not very taken with this biography, as the character went on to
appear in only four episodes. |
| Revamp puppet #5A (Ada Harris) was created especially
for Joe 90, and made its first (brief) appearance in the episode
Three's A Crowd. The
character was revamped again for The Secret Service and appeared with
longer grey hair in the final episode More Haste Less Speed as Lady
Martha Hazlewell - voiced by Keith Alexander! |

Ada Harris' voice was supplied by
series co-creator
Sylvia Anderson.
As well as her creative duties on previous shows, she provided voices for
many female characters in Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons,
notably that of Melody Angel. She is probably best known as the voice of
Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward in Thunderbirds, Thunderbirds Are Go
and Thunderbird 6, and also voiced Doctor Venus in Fireball XL5
and Jimmy Gibson in Supercar. |
