Oh, Captain Scarlet reminds me of Sunday afternoon TV as a young child! Great write-up of a classic 😀

The Andersons built a small empire around that Supermarianation stuff, with hit shows like Stingray, Thunderbirds and Fireball XL-5. Their technique was also used for much more adult fare in the recent film Team America: World Police.

Not surprisingly (to my eyes), there are a few similarities to Doctor Who here....

Loved Stingray, Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlett. I remember when they repeated them for the first time in 30years and we rushed out to buy a load of VHS tapes to record them all.
