Captain Scarlet

Summary: The best (if you're 42)
Review: You can estimate a Englishman's age (if he's over 35) by the Gerry Anderson series he best remembers. For me, that's Captain Scarlet. Of course, I remember Thunderbirds and Stingray as prime examples of the art of Supermarionation but here, with Captain Scarlet, the Anderson team finally sorted out the solenoid problem and created puppets with correctly proportioned heads. The storylines are intriguing, the gizmo's - out of this world and the voice talent top-notch. For a 42 year-old, this is the definitive moment in Anderson-lore. Buy it! Love it! There'll never be anything better!
