This old tv show is now available on DVD. So you could say it's a "movie", now. You can get the whole series on DVD, that's 4 discs with 32 25-minute episodes, for $79.99(Ca). Sweet! Yeah, I'm gonna get it. Trouble is, I've never seen it. It's gotten rave reviews, and it sounds really cool. It was made by Gerry Anderson, with a further 'SuperMarionation', from "Thunderbirds". That's right, it's made with puppets and minature models. It's supposed to be more serious, complex, and violent than his other works. The puppets as well have right-sized heads, and are one third the size of a human being.

Has anyone here ever seen it? I've very eager to get it!

Greetings Neurolanis,

I was a fan of this show when I was a kid. Of all the Gerry Anderson shows ever made, I think this one is the best one. The puppets are more real and they do not walk.
I bought the DVD last year (I am from Canada and it was available just before xmas 2003) The quality is very good.

If you like the Thunderbirds, you will love Captain Scarlet

Thanks, Pat0214. I just noticed your response. I liked Thunderbirds ok when I was younger, but Captain Scarlet looks much better to me somehow..
