Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Stingray in its pen.

I watched this as a kid. Found the puppets disturbing (head and eyes way TOO BIG for the bodies), but I loved all the mocha parts!

Frames from the amazing, 1960s tv series, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons from Gerry Anderson. Having had a hit with Thunderbirds (1965–1966), Anderson moved on to produce another "supermarionation" hit with  Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons (1967). I've been revisiting the work of Gerry Anderson recently, having discovered his strange and nearly forgotten photo-comic book series Candy (featured here a few posts back). I see now, more clearly than before, what a master of production design he was, or at least, his team was. The sets, while miniature, feature the most considered (and stylish) design details - modern furniture, colour coordinated wall and material colours, clothing on the characters are very on-trend (for the late 60s), the natural landscapes are incredible and detailed, and of course, the design of the vehicles is particularly impressive. Cars, jets, rockets, tanks, flying bases, on and one. And Gerry Anderson loved pyrotechnics - there are lots of fires and explosions. He managed to mitigate miniaturism (made up word) within these effects, which when produced at a small scale, can feel, well, small. His explosions feel big. But they are smooth, in terms of frame rate - they've not simply been slowed down, or if they have, they were shot at a high speed frame rate that allowed slowing down in post-production. There's an incredible moon base explosion in Season 1 Episode 1: The Mysterons (around 3:07) where you can see the impact of the explosion creating turbulence across the dust on the lunar surface. It's an impressive, special effects, attention to detail.

These frames give a glimpse into the impressive production design of the Captain Scarlet series, which is often overlooked, with the focus being on the puppets.

La serie Space: 1999 (1975-1977) contó con el diseño de producción de Keith Wilson y con los modelos construidos por Brian Johnson. El diseño de producción de Space: 1999 ha envejecido bien, con piezas de su tiempo (los 1970s) y propuestas que lucen contemporáneas.

Found these guys in an antique shop yesterday

Virgil is from 1999, and Scarlet is from 2001, so not exactly antique lmao, but a super fun find!

It'd be nice to get all of them they made but that's probably pretty unlikely lmao.

The boys are DUSTY. I don't think they've been moved more than once since they were bought!

Space: 1999 Stars Barbara Bain & Nick Take Goes Board Documentary About Sci-Fi Show’s Legendary Spacecraft

Actress Barbara Bain, star of the British sci-fi series Space: 1999, is preparing to board an upcoming documentary about the Eagle, the famed spacecraft at the heart of the show that ran from 1975-1977.

Bain will appear in The Eagle Has Landed as will Nick Tate, her cast mate from Space: 1999. The documentary includes the participation of several other notable figures: Apollo XVI astronaut Charles Duke Jr., Academy Award-winning visual effects artist Bill George (Blade Runner, Star Trek), and Brian Johnson, the VFX artist on Space: 1999 whose work is said to have influenced Star Wars. The film is being directed and produced by Jeffrey Morris, who also hosts the documentary. 

The Eagle Has Landed “explores the cross-generational impact of the iconic vessel” in the series that also starred Martin Landau. According to a press release, the film “showcases never-before-seen archival footage” and will be released in time for the 50th anniversary of Space: 1999’s debut, in 2025.

“Space: 1999 appeared on TV a few short years after the world watched Neil Armstrong take the first steps on the moon,” Morris noted in a statement. “The show’s unforgettable Eagle inspired a generation to envision a future in space and is still doing so decades later. The question we explore is ‘why?’ What is it about this imaginary craft that has captured and held imaginations for nearly 50 years?

Morris’s FutureDude Entertainment is producing the documentary in partnership with Zero Point Zero Production Inc. Anne Marie Gillen is a producer on the project, along with Morris. The film is written by Morris and Fredrick Haugen. Morris is represented by Espada Entertainment.

Space: 1999 ran for a total of 48 episodes, with Bain and Landau in all of them as, respectively, Dr. Helena Russell and Commander John Koenig (the actors were married to each other at the time; they had previously co-starred together in Mission: Impossible).

The show revolved around the denizens of Moonbase Alpha, scientific researchers living on the moon whose existence was threatened by a nuclear explosion, which rocketed the moon out of Earth’s orbit. Tate, an Australian-born actor, played pilot Alan Carter on 42 of the show’s 48 episodes. Originally, his character was to be killed off in the premiere episode, a casualty of the nuclear explosion, but producers Gerry Anderson and Sylvia Anderson liked his work and expanded his role.

“Hovering above the Moon in one of Alpha’s Eagle spacecraft, Alan Carter is an observer to this holocaust, watching helplessly as the Moon spins out into space,” according to a synopsis published by the Catacombs.Space1999.net website. “Sacrificing his only chance to return home, Carter decides to give chase to the runaway Moon, joining his friends on the endless intergalactic journey.”

Tate told the website, “I didn’t have to dig too deeply with this character. Alan Carter was all the things I was as a young man: friendly, happy-go-lucky, someone who loved adventure and accepted a challenge.”

Ian McShane, Joan Collins, and Leo McKern were among actors who appeared in single episodes of Space: 1999.

One way I remember a friend describing the difference between the original Captain Scarlet and New Captain Scarlet is that in NCS it's like seeing a show where Captain Blue ended up in the place of Captain Black.

In the original show Scarlet and Blue's friendship is part of the backbone of the series. It's just consistent and always there and it comes through in nice little moments. The characters of CS are often a subdued in their emotions but it means when these two do have their moments of camaraderie they shine all the more.

In NCS it's kind of a shame how that is missing. NCS Blue is always more violent and gungho compared to original Blue's nice and caring vibes. But also he starts off not trusting Scarlet and is kind of hostile to him and they never have that same cosy friendship they do in the original series.

In NCS the one Scarlet has the endearing friendship with is Black. It's their friendship which is constantly referenced throughout the show. Scarlet losing his friend to the Mysterons and worrying if he'll ever get him back is such a consistent theme, but it means we lose what was originally there with the main two.

But it does make me think how describing it as an au where Black and Blue switched places does kind of accurately describe the vibe of the series.
