I always thought Scarlett was his first name and Pimpernel was his second name. Are you telling me I've been wrong all these years?

Title: Re: His actual first name is Paul
Post by: Berek on July 05, 2007, 12:23:40 PM: Berek Jnr was watching Capt Scarlet this morning ( the new CGI version ) and one of the characters kept calling Cpt Scarlet "Paul ", so I had to do some digging around.

Its totally ruined the mystery of the character censored:

Post by: Nick on July 05, 2007, 12:59:51 PM: Ah yes, "Supermarionation". What a daft term for puppets with strings and wooden lips!

Does anyone know if Fireball XL5 exists on DVD? I loved that.

Zoony the Lazoon became a kind of role model redface:

Supercar was a bit, er, ...........wooden (Mike Mercury et al), but Four Feather Falls.

I always worried with Fireball XL5 that the rockets were so loud. Surely in space no one can hear you go vrooooooooom?
