Amazon.co.uk Review
First broadcast in 1967, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons was the most grown-up of all Gerry Anderson's SuperMarionation adventures. There are gadgets and toy-friendly machines galore, of course--like the Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle, the Angel Aircraft and Cloudbase itself--but, unlike the colourful fantasies of Stingray and Thunderbirds, this series' concern with an implacable, vengeful enemy, conspiracies and double-agents drew its inspiration from James Bond and the Cold War spy dramas of the 1960s. Special effects whiz Derek Meddings imbues the action sequences with a truly Bondian grandeur and, like the sinister Spectre of the Bond films, the Martian Mysterons seem all the more hostile for their unseen presence, their agents infiltrating every organisation dedicated to their destruction just as it seemed the Soviets were doing at the time. The indestructible Captain Scarlet is killed then resurrected every week (though not like South Park's Kenny), and more often than not the unstoppable Mysterons emerge triumphant, and always undefeated. The varied cast of Spectrum agents and their voice characterisations also aim at verisimilitude (Captain Scarlet, voiced by Francis Matt hews, sounds like a grim Cary Grant), while the puppetry is more realistic than ever. Now with newly remastered picture and Dolby 5.1 surround sound, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons still looks and sounds like the epitome of 60s cool. --Mark Walker

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 June 2009This tape has 4 digitally-remastered episodes of Gerry Anderson's Captain Scarlet. These are: Point 783, Model Spy, Seek and Destroy and Traitor. The visual image is clear and sharply-focussed, the sound excellent.
Everything about this series was top-drawer puppetry for its day (1967). If you like Thunderbirds, you'll like this!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Captain what can i say.
I have waited for years to see the show on CD, and i was not disapointed. I love all the Gerry Anderson films and he has he way to make you love the stories. Captain Scarlet is on of the best Gerry Andersons shows.Should be fun for children and adults. If yo do not owe the filsm buy them.
