Analysis

As in Anderson's previous series, the show regularly featured rescue operations, secret worldwide organizations, complicated gadgetry, terrorism, and threats to the entire world. Professor McClaine, for example, drove an exotic flying car. The puppets featured were of the more accurately proportioned variety first seen in Captain Scarlet. Puppets from the preceding series were re-used for Joe 90, with the exceptions of the Captain Scarlet, Captain Blue and Lieutenant Green marionettes. Also, some new puppets were constructed, including those for Joe and Mac. Many of the puppets also had versions with tanned complexions to portray darker-skinned people. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, often referred to in shorthand as simply Captain Scarlet, is a science fiction television series produced by the Century 21 Television company of Sylvia and Gerry Anderson and Lew Grade and first shown in Britain (originally on ATV Midlands, but later the whole of the...

The darker and more violent style consciously introduced with Captain Scarlet continued into Joe 90. A typical example features Professor McClaine being kidnapped, held hostage and menaced with a drill in the episode "Project 90". This provoked criticism that the scenarios were inappropriate for a nine-year-old boy, although Mac explains his reservations in the pilot episode. The child hero is far more engaging for its intended audience, as well as allowing him to infiltrate places without arousing suspicion. In this way, it also predates other espionage films featuring children, such as Spy Kids. Project 90 is the third episode of the Supermarionation television series Joe 90. ... Spy and Secret agent redirect here. ... Spy Kids is the name of a family-action/adventure trilogy of films written and directed by Robert Rodriguez and beginning in 2001 and ending in 2003. ...

To add to the realism, the voice of Joe was provided by boy actor Len Jones, rather than a young woman actress as was usually the case. Mac was voiced by Rupert Davies (best known for playing Maigret) and Sylvia Anderson voiced their long-suffering housekeeper, Mrs Harris. This article is about the British actor. ... Maigret featured on a postage stamp Jules Maigret, known as (Commissaire) Maigret to most people, including his wife, is a fictional police detective, created by writer Georges Simenon. ...

The series assumed that the Cold War would not continue into the 21st century (dismissing the theft by Joe of a Russian fighter plane in the first episode as merely a speculative scenario), although villains in the series often had Slavic accents. Episodes featuring such adversaries included "International Concerto", "Business Holiday", "Arctic Adventure" and "The Professional". For other uses, see Cold War (disambiguation). ... International Concerto is the 8th episode of the Supermarionation television series Joe 90. ...

The show featured a theme tune composed by Barry Gray, who also composed music for other Anderson productions. The theme music of a radio or television program is a melody closely associated with the show, and usually played during the title sequence and/or end credits. ... Barry Gray (July 18, 1908 in Lancashire, England - April 26, 1984 in Guernsey, Channel Islands) was a British musician and composer who is best known for his work for Gerry Anderson. ...

For the series' original run, each episode began with a zoom-in shot of Joe's WIN glasses accompanied by a male voiceover. His words were, "These are Joe 90's special glasses. Without them, he's a boy; wearing them, he's an expert." This line served not only to establish the background to the series, but to warn young fans not to imitate Joe's exploits. 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. ...

The character of Joe 90 was innocent and childlike without his glasses, but often quite adult-sounding, and occasionally patronising when wearing his glasses, due to the expert nature of the brain patterns he was using. As a normal boy he would address his father as "Dad", but with his glasses the name would be "Mac".

It was not uncommon in British schools in the 1960s for a brainy (and possibly disliked) child to be referred to as "Joe 90".^{[citation needed]} It was also commonly and slightly rudely used to refer to anyone wearing glasses ("Oi! You there, Joe 90...") throughout the 1970s and 1980s in the UK.^{[citation needed]} The uncanny resemblance of former British prime minister John Major was the subject of spoofs such as by Rory Bremner, which can be seen at Youtube.com. Sir John Major, KG, CH, PC (born 29 March 1943) was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and leader of the British Conservative Party from 1990 to 1997. ... Rory Bremner FKC (born 6 April 1961, Edinburgh, Scotland) is a British impressionist and comedian, noted for his political satire. ...

Other Media

Various Joe 90 comics, annuals and activity books were released at the time of the original broadcast. An annual publication, more often called simply an annual, is a book or a magazine, comic book or comic strip published yearly. ...

In the 1990s a general public interest in the old classic TV series of the 1960s and 70s included repeats of all of Anderson's (made in colour) series. Joe 90 was among them. A short-lived comic was released and his adventures were also published in the cartoon supplement of The Sunday Times. The Sunday Times is a Sunday broadsheet newspaper distributed in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, published by Times Newspapers Ltd, a subsidiary of News International which is in turn owned by News Corporation. ...

In May 2003 the BBC reported that a film version of the series was to be made.^[1][2] The British Broadcasting Corporation, usually known as the BBC (and also informally known as the Beeb or Auntie) is the largest broadcasting corporation in the world in terms of audience numbers, employing 26,000 staff in the United Kingdom alone and with a budget of more than GB£4 billion...
