Haha! Made me laugh.....



Interesting info on the models Eric. I simply wouldn't have the patience required - but really admire those that can do it. Also the fact that so many modellers have to refine/modify the kits due to duff mouldings etc.

This and Thunderbirds were my 2 favourite Anderson productions.

And yes as a pimply teen I thought Gabrielle was stunning. The purple hair worked for me (and I still do like women with wild hair colours). smile

I saw Gabrielle for real in a stage production of "Noises Off" in London back in 1983.

Interestingly I found a recommended sequence to watch the episodes in. It does make more sense.
Wanda Ventham is in the programme at the start then reappears later one when cast changes happened.
She essentially takes over the George Sewell role
Wanda & George always looked similar to me. Have they ever been seen in the same room together?

Gabrielle Drake was a beautiful woman - there's quite a lot of her on Google. If you know what I mean.

I was going to respond to your post by explaining that my threads are not to be diverted by ridiculous replies. Then I looked at the special photoshopped pictures you sent me by PM. I am never one to judge and its quite clear that you have considerable desires for Colonel Straker. The one you titled Strakers special interceptor you had put a lot of effort into

Both Wanda and George did appear in scenes together in the very early episodes

Glad you enjoyed the pics I worked hard on them.. Back on topic. I've seen those early episodes & I'm not too sure about the authenticity, in fact I think it's CGI. Too early for CGI? No I don't think so, think about it. It's 1970 and they have a moon base, a submarine that can fly & purple hair so CGI doesn't seem that incredible really does it.

I was wondering for a second. CGI in 1970 was a bit like stick men -

A few years ago I would have assumed it was a joke. But in the modern world there are so many people who don't understand what computers could or couldn't years ago I don't assume anything anymore.

I watched the lot in real time as a pre-teen, there was one episode which was shown much later in the evening (we're talking pre-watershed days folks) where, I think, they de-masked an alien, or did an autopsy on one. I badgered my parents to watch it, dad (God rest his soul) said it was fine as he wanted to watch it as well biggrin

Ed Bishop was an old friend from my Captain Scarlet days of course, such a safe pair of hands and a great actor.
