Favourite Gerry Anderson Show

[McBain]

Ive been catching up on some Old TV and I couldn't help watching a couple of 'Captain Scarlet' Episodes.

Anderson passed away last year from Alzheimers, and I couldn't think of anyone else who had created such vivid Universe in TV like that. Before Henson, before Lucas, I can't help but think he shaped a whole generation of 35-60 year olds running the place today.

Troy Tempest & Phones were cool. But International Rescue was the best. Joe 90 and Father Stanley Unwin in Secret service were ace. Captain Scarlet was scary for me at my age but the new adventures of Captain Scarlet was better I feel.

Anyone remember The Protectors with Nyree Dawn Porter oh boy! She was a looker in her day.

I went for the shows with actors as opposed to puppets. UFO is classic, as are Space 1999 and the Protectors.

UFO was a cult classic with Ed Straker. Loved his car.
