[TV] Poll: Favourite 1960s Gerry Anderson Puppet Series

[Comrade Sam]

What no Terrahawks option?
However, it has to be Captain Scarlet, with his Carry Grant imitation voice. There was a ruthless episode when the Mysterons were exterminating whole US Arctic military bases one by one - mind blowing stuff. Meanwhile no one in Thunderbirds got more than a bandage for 5 minutes.

Have you ever tried being tied to a suspension bridge in searing hot sunshine with a bomb underneath you.
Never saw Scarlet doing that did you.
Alan is a bloody hero in my book.
Tin tin was frantic.

This is an OUTRAGE.

How can you have a poll like this without The Secret Service? ? ?

I must apologise for that oversight.
Incidentally I've just discovered that the voice of Father Unwin was provided by the real Stanley Unwin.

Thunderbirds for me but none of them as good as U.F.O. or Space 1999.
Trivia: The Tracy brothers were named after Mercury Seven astronauts: Scott Carpenter, John Glenn, Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Gordon Cooper and Alan Shepard.

 

[Curious Orange]

Meh, I'm not voting because it's limiting itself to the 60's shows only, and thus missing out on the magnificent Terrahawks!

 

[Biscuit]

Thunderbirds, just pipping Fireball XL5. Great poll.

 

[The Clamp]

But, but...I’m just an old man, Colonel.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Thunderbirds is, comfortably, the Champion of this list. A brilliant TV show from start to finish with only a couple of missed steps (Ricochet episode...). Obviously, the female characters couldn't be written today as they are in the show - it's a very clear example of the shift in attitudes.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Thunderbirds for me.
But I did collect all of the Captain Scarlet bubblegum cards to make a huge picture of all the characters.

 

[Lower West Stander]

Joe 90.

Just for the best theme music ever.

Daaaaa daa da dadadaa dadadadadadadadaaadaaa

Sorry....

The Hood looked my ex father in law.

Kirano!!!!

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Where’s the adventures of Twizzle and Four Feather Falls?

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

I was TB mad in '66

Got a photo of me somewhere dressed in a full TB outfit on my 6th birthday.

I so, so wanted to be Scott, a rocket pilot who ALWAYS got there FIRST - top geezer!

Yes, he was also actually IN IT.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Where’s the adventures of Twizzle and Four Feather Falls?

Yeah, Four Feather Falls!

I never quite understood Captain Scarlet and how the Mysterons ... er, well, any of it really.

Not much love for Atlanta from Stingray? A ginger thing? But the uniform ...

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

What was the one with the girls flying the jets or was that part of Captain Scarlet, can't remember.

They were the Angels from Captain Scarlet. Destiny, Harmony, Melody, Rhapsody, and Symphony

 

[Weststander]

Like many here, I watched them all years later in the 70’s.

Loved the intro music of Stingray and Joe 90. Can still hear it now, despite having next to no interest for 40 years.

Very well remembered.

Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90.... how do you decide enjoyed all of them as a youngster and then got to relive Thunderbirds with my son back in the 90s

I really need 4 votes
