some of my favourite CS collection items are the childrens tent, the alarm clock with sound effects and spv, the working life size cs pen that lights / flashes, seen on screen, and the reote spv, still in box. still looking for the vivid imaginations angel figures, and the astronaut CS though.
The best version of reanimation I ever saw was Captain Jack in Torchwood: Children of Earth. I mean Jack is pretty much a live action Scarlet but here he was blown up so there was only (I think) a head and shoulder left then the encased in a concrete block which was then thrown over a cliff. Feel free to watch it but…don't be eating dinner at the time!!
The blood coming from puppets always freaked me out – I wonder if the makers of the movie "Asylum" a few years later took their inspiration from here? (puppets with human organs inside yeucchh!!) but even Mike Noble added a splash of Kensington into the TV21 strip now and then. The mid to late 60's was a time when science fiction became very nihilistic and downbeat, especially in movies so I reckon Scarlet was a reflection of this. All the snowflakes nowadays would probably try to get Scarlet banned lol.
S.I.G. on this marvelous stream, honouring another of my childhood heroes, this Captain Scarlet Day. 👍👍 10⭐ and countless 💖 to the Anderson Legacy, as it continues, and grows to this day.
In 1966, my Fave Fab action toy was the 30cm Captain Action. Then out came Captain Scarlet, and I wrote several times to Ideal Toys company, begging them to make a Captain Scarlet costume, for the Super Heroic C-A. Sadly, they never made it, but I'm still hopeful today.
5:51 While watching the show as a kid, who else noticed that the Drum-Beat spelled out C-A-P-T,A,I,N & S-C-A-R,L,E,T eh? The Theme Song sticks with my like super-glue, and has for a long time, revived many memories from the Anderson Legacy of Super-Marionation series'. I have been an ardent fan of Gerry & Sylvia Anderson productions, from my first viewing of 4 Feather Falls, and beyond. 👍👍 & 10⭐ for the Decades of great entertainment, for kids and adults. 💖
Viewmaster was amazing! I had Batman and Quick Draw MgRaw. The 3 dimensional qualities are like nothing I've seen since. Wonderful photography. A Candy & Andy version would have been surreal 😮
One identifiable constant with Anderson Marionette series is they're all set in the future. I think a Crossroads style Marionette Drama would work, so long as its written in the future. More dialogue could replace the action. Joe 90 showed the way.
I believe Scarlet is an ethical show, despite the later warnings of non indestructability, and the impact it may have had on vulnerable children. For me, seeing Marionettes bleeding was a warning of my fragility.
I heard New Captain Scarlet worked out a million pounds per episode! They treated 1999 same way, confining it to Children's Saturday mornings. Initially it aired peak time, Saturday evenings, London regions LWT. My guess is Space 1999 was just too deep and cerebral for audiences expecting light entertainment.
Your friend probably lead down a blind alley by Richard Greene and Leonora Amar film Captain Scarlett. The Anderson Show is my fave. Caught it the first t8me around but was very young, had the Cap Gun, collected the Dinky Toys etc. Like the New Captain Scarlet as well.
SIG in 2023 🏳🌈

Scarlet is an incredible show, perfectly sculptured for the optimism of the mid 1960s.
The most realistic futuristic concept!
2:04:20 I WANT THAT HAT! 👍👍 10k⭐ 100k💖 Where can we buy it please? My searches have been cruel to me.

Frank Spencer changed his Berret to red, being a Scarlet Fan.

Just Googled it and Deadpool first appeared as a character in 1990.
So given his regenerative abilities and costume colour, Deadpool is a rip-off of Captain Scarlet.
Like the TV show Dollhouse was a rip-off of Joe 90…

Did you all see the video where Tom Scott tried to drive an SPV style reverse facing vehicle?
