Summary

On a mission to Mars in 2068, a Mysteron installation is destroyed by Captain Black, leading the Mysterons to declare a "War of Nerves" on Earth. The Mysterons have the ability to replicate and then control any person or object they first kill or destroy, through their power of "retro-metabolism". They use this power to conduct a war of terror against Earth—primarily aimed at the world leaders, major cities, industrial and defence establishments, and, of course, "Spectrum" and its airborne Cloudbase headquarters. The Mysterons are never seen; their presence is indicated by two circles of light tracking across the scene. Their actions on Earth are always through their replicated intermediaries — with the possible exception of Captain Black whose death is never portrayed and who may simply have been "turned" as their first agent whilst still on Mars. Although this distinction is never made in the series, the accompanying book states that Black was killed and revitalised by the Mysterons in much the same way as their other victims throughout the series. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in the solar system, named after the Roman god of war (the counterpart of the Greek Ares), on account of its blood red color as viewed in the night sky. ... In Sylvia and Gerry Andersons science fiction puppet television series Captain Scarlet, the Mysterons are the sworn enemies of planet Earth. ... Captain Black is a fictional character who is the recurring enemy and agent of the Mysterons from the 1960s British childrens science_fiction television series Captain Scarlet, produced by Gerry Anderson. ... Cloudbase is the fictional skyborne headquarters of international security organisation Spectrum, from Gerry Andersons science fiction television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons (1967). ... Adjectives: Terrestrial, Terran, Telluric, Tellurian, Earthly Atmosphere Surface pressure: 101. ...

Captain Scarlet becomes Spectrum's principal weapon at the forefront of the battle with the Mysterons after the events of the first episode, "The Mysterons". In that episode, Scarlet (whose real name is Paul Metcalfe) is one of two Spectrum agents (the other being fellow Spectrum agent Captain Brown) killed by the Mysterons and then replaced with a duplicate under their control; for reasons never explained in or out of the series, however, when the duplicate falls 800 feet from a tower the personality of Paul Metcalfe reasserts itself in the duplicate, who is immune thereafter to Mysteron control. Not only that, but Scarlet's new body has two new powers: it allows him to sense the presence of other Mysteron duplicates nearby, and if he should be injured or even killed, retro-metabolism will re-create him as good as before. ("Self-repairing" might be a more accurate way to describe this than the "indestructible" that the series uses, since it is established that Scarlet feels all the pain associated with any injuries he suffers.) This advantage is kept secret outside Spectrum, and even Captain Blue is often heard saying "But Captain, you'll be killed!" Later in the series, the Mysteron duplicates are discovered to be vulnerable to high-voltage electricity, implying that the same could permanently destroy Scarlet. The Mysterons is the first episode of the science fiction Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. ...

Characters

Spectrum personnel have military ranks and colour based code names (hence Captain Scarlet), and they are headed by Colonel White. Other characters include Captains Blue, Ochre, Grey, and Magenta, Lieutenant Green,^[1] and the five female fighter pilots, who have a different collective codename — the Angels — and are individually Destiny, Symphony, Melody, Rhapsody, and Harmony.

Puppets

Whether the puppets of the various Anderson series were modelled on real people, and who those real people were, is the subject of some question. Gerry and Sylvia Anderson have claimed that they asked the puppet designers to give the puppets rough resemblances to specific celebrities of the day. Some of the puppets, however, appear to be modelled instead on the actors who provided their voices; chief puppet artist Mary Turner admitted that Thunderbirds' Lady Penelope was modelled on Sylvia, a revelation the latter claimed came as a surprise. The Lady Penelope puppet Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward is International Rescues London Agent from Gerry Andersons Thunderbirds. ...

On Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, Captain Blue and Colonel White were said particularly to resemble their voice actors, Ed Bishop and Donald Gray respectively. (Ironically, although many fans believe the resemblance of Captain Blue and Ed Bishop to be particularly strong, based on Ed Bishop's appearance in Anderson's live-action series UFO, the blonde hair that Bishop's UFO character Straker shares with Captain Blue is Bishop's brown hair bleached blonde in the first episode, and a wig in subsequent episodes of the series.) The Captain Scarlet character has been said at various times to have been modelled on Cary Grant, Roger Moore,^[2] and on Scarlet's voice actor Francis Matthews; while no definite answer appears to be forthcoming, Matthews says that Gerry Anderson went to great lengths to get him to sign on to the production because of his skilled Cary Grant impression. Anderson, however, claims (in his biography^[3]) that the impression was Matthews' choice at audition, and whilst it wasn't what had been intended for the character they chose to use it. Lieutenant Green was the first black character to appear in such a series and was voiced by black actor Cy Grant. Ed Bishop (1932-2005), as he appeared in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey (where he played the Captain of the Aries 1B space-station-to-moon shuttle, in a role which first featured dialogue: the dialogue was later cut from his scenes). ...

As in the Andersons' previous puppet series, the characters' mouths were operated electronically, but in Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons the solenoid was placed in the puppets' chests rather than their heads. This meant that the puppets no longer needed oversized heads to accommodate the mechanisms and could be built with normal proportions for the first time. (Anderson later admitted in interviews that this was probably a mistake since the puppets lost a lot of their charm.) In order to enhance the sense of realism further, the puppets were never seen walking, as it was impossible to make their legs move realistically. For this reason characters are often seen standing on moving walkways or even sitting at moving desks, and there are of course any number of futuristic land, sea, air, and space vehicles for them to ride in, such as the Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle (SPV), the bright-red Spectrum Patrol Car (also referred to as the Spectrum Saloon), the Spectrum Passenger Jet (SPJ), and the streamlined Angel Interceptor aircraft, armed with missile guns, all of them courtesy of special effects director Derek Meddings, his design assistant Michael Trim, and the miniatures unit.

SPVs were located around the world, hidden in public or commercial buildings. Upon meeting the staff of a building, a Spectrum agent would show his identification and the SPV would either be moved out for use, or the camouflage which had concealed it (a shack, or a goods container) would collapse to reveal it.

Title sequence and closing credits

Each episode begins with a short film sequence displayed from the viewpoint of an unseen assassin. As the opening credits roll, the assassin approaches the corner of a run-down street at night. A voiceover from Ed Bishop (who voiced Captain Blue) states "The Mysterons: sworn enemies of Earth. Possessing the ability to recreate an exact likeness of an object or person. But first, they must destroy..." Suddenly, there is the sound of a knocked bottle, a cat's wail is heard and the agent turns to face Captain Scarlet. The assassin opens fire with a machine gun but none of his bullets manages to penetrate. The Spectrum officer fires his own gun and the attacker grunts as he falls to the ground dead. With a drum roll, the Captain Scarlet logo appears on the screen and the voiceover concludes "...one man, whose fate has made him indestructible. His name: Captain Scarlet." Opening credits, in a television program, motion picture or videogame, are shown at the beginning of a show and list the most important members of the production. ... A voice-over is a narration that is played on top of a video segment, usually with the audio for that segment muted or lowered. ...

A machine gun is a fully-automatic firearm that is capable of firing bullets in rapid succession. ...

The first episode, "The Mysterons", features a different voiceover: "The finger is on the trigger. About to unleash a force with terrible powers, beyond the comprehension of Man. This force we shall know as 'the Mysterons'. This man will be our hero, for fate will make him indestructible. His name: Captain Scarlet".

From "Winged Assassin" onwards, a sequence featuring the Mysteron rings follows the first few moments of action. The Mysterons (voiced by Donald Gray) announce their latest threat, always starting with "This is the voice of the Mysterons. We know that you can hear us, Earthmen." Meanwhile, the rings pan over the supporting characters in various environments and their names are displayed as captions onscreen, from Captain Blue driving an SPV, to Destiny Angel flying her jet, to Colonel White at his Cloudbase control desk, to the other Angels in their Amber standby room, to Captain Black in a moonlit graveyard. After this, the episode resumes. Winged Assassin is the second episode of the Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. ...

The closing credits are accompanied by various paintings of Scarlet in life-threatening situations - he is drowning in a swamp filled with green liquid, falling from a skyscraper, confronted by a venomous snake, pushed out of a moving car, trapped under rocks with dynamite, surrounded by sharks underwater, about to be stabbed by spikes, beneath falling crates, pushed over a ridge by a tank, and caught in an explosion.

Paintings

The closing-credit paintings were created by comic book artist Ron Embleton. Remaining in the safe of producer Reg Hill for more than thirty years, they were auctioned at Christie's in London in 2003, raising between £2300 and £3500 per painting. The following year, art publishers Iconagraph released licensed limited editions of the paintings featuring the signature of Francis Matthews, the voice of Captain Scarlet.

Alternative versions

The Japanese version of the show completely scrapped the original opening credits and replaced them with a montage of action scenes from various episodes, with schoolchildren singing a completely different theme tune to the one fans of the Western version will be familiar with. This surreal, alternative version can be found on the extras disc of the "Complete Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons" DVD.

Series storyline

Unlike Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's earlier shows Thunderbirds and Stingray, where each episode was a different rescue attempt, Captain Scarlet had a continuous storyline running throughout the episodes concerning Spectrum's attempt to find the weaknesses of and destroy the Mysterons. For instance, in the episode "Operation Time" it was revealed that a key Mysteron weakness was that high voltage electricity could kill them. They could also be detected when X-rayed, as the slide produced would just reveal a normal picture of that individual rather than their skeleton. These weaknesses were further developed in the following episode "Spectrum Strikes Back" in which the Mysteron gun and Mysteron detector were introduced and used throughout the rest of the series. Operation Time is the 8th episode of the Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. ... In the NATO phonetic alphabet, X-ray represents the letter X. An X-ray picture (radiograph) taken by Röntgen An X-ray is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength approximately in the range of 5 pm to 10 nanometers (corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 PHz... Spectrum Strikes Back is the 9th episode of the Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. ...

In "Lunarville 7", it was discovered that a second Mysteron complex was being built in a crater on the far side of the Moon, prior to a lunar conquest and eventually one of Earth itself. It was later destroyed by an atomic device in "Crater 101", after Captain Scarlet, Captain Blue and Lieutenant Green removed the crystal pulsator power source to prevent the Mysterons from reconstructing their complex. The pulsator was later found to be a means of communication with the Mysterons in "Dangerous Rendezvous", but Colonel White was unable to convince them to abandon their war of nerves in a diplomatic transmission. The Mysterons then turned their pulsator into an explosive device, which threatened to destroy Cloudbase until it was jettisoned from a window and detonated in the open air. Lunarville 7 is the 12th episode of the Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. ... Crater 101 is the 17th episode of the Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. ... Dangerous Rendezvous is the 19th episode of the Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. ...

Attempts were made to obtain detailed satellite photographs of Mars in "Shadow of Fear", but the Himalayan observatory scheduled to receive the transmissions was destroyed by a Mysteron agent. Shadow of Fear is the 19th episode of the Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. ...

Towards the end of the series, the episode "Treble Cross" revealed that a human being could be mistaken for a Mysteron if they managed to survive their encounter with them. This weakness however, was not developed in future episodes. Treble Cross is the 22nd episode of the Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. ...

The penultimate episode of the series, "Attack on Cloudbase", involved an all-out Mysteron assault on Cloudbase itself. This grim story left many characters dead, including Scarlet, but the episode proved to be simply the dream of a concussed Symphony Angel, leaving many fans disappointed. Attack on Cloudbase is the 31st episode of the Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. ...

Further disappointment came with the final episode, "The Inquisition", a "clip show" that provided no closure to the series in terms of the fate of either Spectrum or The Mysterons. Moreover, it ended with Spectrum still battling them and The Mysterons remaining in power on Mars with Captain Black still at large on Earth. The episode itself largely consisted of flashbacks to earlier episodes with the main story centering on Captain Blue being held hostage inside a fake Cloudbase developed by Mysteron agents. This was done in an attempt to make him reveal Spectrum's secrets to them. At the end of the episode he escapes and realises he has been held in an abandoned factory, which Captain Scarlet then destroys and tells him that they will return to the real Cloudbase. The Inquisition is the 32nd and final episode of the Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. ... In television, a clip show is an episode of a series, usually a sitcom, that consists primarily of excerpts from previous episodes, generally depicted as a sequence of flashbacks given plausibility by a frame tale. ...

When the series concluded, TV Century 21 continued the storyline, eventually revealing that The Mysterons shut down their own city and leave Captain Black for dead, whilst Scarlet leaves Spectrum to use his powers to prevent more Earth-bound criminals and situations. The Mysterons eventually reawaken, prompting Scarlet and Spectrum to resume their struggle. TV Century 21 (also known as TV21) was an important comic in the 60s and a verhicle to promote the many space age adventure puppet series created by Gerry Anderson and his wife Sylvia Anderson. ...

Later productions

The rights to the show belong to ITC Entertainment, Lew Grade's production company which co-produced all the Anderson shows from Thunderbirds onwards. In 1980 ITC combined several episodes of the original show to make two compilation movies, titled Captain Scarlet vs. the Mysterons and Revenge of the Mysterons from Mars. This second movie was later used for the second episode of the KTMA version of Mystery Science Theater 3000, shown on Thanksgiving Day (24 November) 1988 in Minneapolis, Minnesota; it was one of the few MST3K episodes that, to date, has not been found to exist among fan-made copies of the series.

A new version of the series, entitled Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet, began broadcast on ITV on 12 February 2005. The series, produced by Anderson and backed by Sony Pictures Television, uses computer-generated imagery (CGI) instead of puppetry, although as a nod to Supermarionation, the show is promoted as being produced in "Hypermarionation".
