The three girls call themselves the Angels and spend most of their spare time when not at school (and sometimes when that's where they should be) using their powers to fix things for people such as the Ministry of Defence. Want a broken nuclear submarine fixing? Call for the Angels. Want a member of the Royal Family protecting? Call for the Angels.
