Gerry Anderson pioneered quality entertainment using puppets. 'Stingray' and 'Thunderbirds' (the huge success story) being just two examples.
But 'Captain Scarlet' was a big hit too in its time and it's easy to see why. It's certainly a step up in terms of production values, and there's enough drama to entertain kids and their parents. Taking its lead from 'Thunderbirds' maybe there is also a lot of craft, all of which could handily be turned into action figures.
It's very difficult to worry about a hero we know can't die though. It always stopped me totally enjoying this show, because you knew whatever the situation he'd be back.
It's worth a look though.
