Today is a sad day for me , I loved the programme Captain Scarlet when I was a kid.

When we were in the playground at school, I could never be Captain Scarlet as I had blonde hair and not black hair.
I was always Captain Blue.

What great programme

I blame that programme and the Angels for a liking of women in tight fitting jump suits

They were drawn a lot more shapely in the annuals, nice looking err aircraft (airfix did a kit)

Always really - REALLY - wanted the Dinky Toys SPV, but never had one.

Christ, I used to pore over those Dinky and Corgi Toys catalogues as a kid. But yeah - loved Capt. Scarlet. The intro w/ Captain Black in a cemetery, wreathed in mist, is awesome - and the theme tune by Barry Gray rocked my face off.

Captain Brown gets Mysteroned and converted into a walking bomb in the first episode, Captain Grey turns up a couple of times.

Watched it as a kid, although I only saw the first episode less than a year ago, thanks youtube.

Plus also the voice of the Mysterons is deep, sensual and - let's face it - wonderfully seductive.

In any case, it's the voice I imitate when I sweet talk the mrs. Works wonders, I swear.
