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?

his actual name is Paul Metcalfe.. it gets more and more annoying..

"Captain Scarlet & The Mysterons is set in the year 2068. The real name of the titular hero is Paul Metcalfe but we know him as Captain Scarlet"

I know it is probably rude to interrupt this apparently private conversation you are having with yourself Berek but may I ask WTF started this rant?

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:

I hate to tell you Berek but I seem to remember his name being mentioned in the original supermarionation series.

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.

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?
