CAPTAIN SCARLET AND THE MYSTERONS

CAPTAIN SCARLET AND THE MYSTERONS
   UK tv series (1967-68). A Century 21 Production for ITC. Created Gerry and Sylvia ANDERSON. Prod Reg Hill. Script ed Tony Barwick. Writers included Barwick (most episodes), Shane Rimmer. Dirs included Brian Burgess, Ken Turner, Alan Perry, Bob Lynn. One season, 32 25min episodes. Colour.
   This was the 5th sf tv series made by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson in SuperMarionation - i.e., with puppets. Not quite as good as THUNDERBIRDS, report people who were 11 years old at the time, but pretty exciting all the same, and the most sophisticated of all in terms of both narrative and special-effects techniques. Captain Scarlet and his colour-coded Spectrum agents fought against the Martian Mysterons, who could kill and then resuscitate people as Martian agents. Captain Scarlet himself had, as a result of an early brush with Mysterons, developed the ability to regenerate after death. CSATM is rather darker than other Anderson series because of the need to work a death into the plot each week. Eight episodes were cobbled together to make two made-for-tv feature films, Captain Scarlet vs The Mysterons (1967) and Revenge of the Mysterons from Mars (1981).
