New Captian Scarlet
« Thread started on: Jan 7th, 2006, 10:42pm »
Has anyone here at the board caught anything of the new CG series of Capatin Scarlet? Aust has yet to show it, but I understand it's doing really well in the UK (which is great to hear as that Thunderbirds Movie was a joke) I would like to hear reviews from old and new fans if possible as I am considering ordering the DVDs from the UK.

New Captain Scarlet is quite simply the most spectcular thing Gerry Anderson has ever done. Though ITV treated it with total contempt by shoving in in the middle of their Saturday morning TV show Ministry of Mayhem please don't let u put that off. The DVD transfers in the boxset are first class - so don't delay,and buy today.

I have seen it! Finally! I must say, I'll have to warm to it. I sure miss the puppets and the old retro-style equipment (how could get you get rit of the SPVs?!)
I must say, the least impressive was the lack of "catchy-pop-theme-ending-tune". For days I would have that old "Captain Scarlet - he's the one who knows the Mys-ter-on game! etc"
The starting credits are very like the original, but it seems that Lt. Green has had a sex change! (just kidding, looks like equal-oppertunity has struck again)
