Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet - Rat Trap - FULL HD Episode

Did you enjoy this free episode? Is it one of your favourites?!

[@gregggaldo9181]

Thank You!!!!!

[@NOTINTERCEPTER01]

Thank you from a greatfull uk kid at heart.

[@thefurrybastard1964]

Only 3 nitpicking observations to an otherwise good story. 1, Mars is geologically dead, no volcanism, no lava. 2, the R.A.T. is supposed to be capable of withstanding extremely hostile environments, their weapons are useless, yet an explosive charge to the head takes it out. 3, Scarlet states they can crawl inside a live Volcano and collect rock samples, yet dropping it into a lava lake destroys it. But suspension of disbelief is key to enjoying a good tale. So I make these comments as observations and not complaints. Finally, Thank you for uploading this show. It's very faithful to the original while adding a new element to the mythos.

[@robonaught]

@@thefurrybastard1964 I'm guessing the R.A.T's head is the achilles heel and I think it's designed to withstand the high temperature of inside volcanoes while it digs rock samples on the inside wall of the crater but not to the fact that it's lava proof.

[@SNP-1999]

My God, Gerry Anderson's productions have come a very long way since "Torchy", which I watched on black and white TV when I was about five years old, and a few years later " Fireball XL5" !!!

[@manueljesus3147]

Great show and the CGI was managed by Ron Thornton who has sadly passed, a generous man and a class act. I remember posting a link to the series on my Facebook page and how it was a great show. He thanked me for the plug. Great stuff.

[@anon4214]

I was a kid when this show came out and grew up with it in the early 2000s, the CGI was fairly primitive at the time but the writing and design was ahead of its time. I would love to see a new CGI or even live action version of this at some point!

[@HenryDallas-u7l]

The episodes in the 1967 was better

[@physical_insanity]

I'll always prefer the original series over the new one (no, I'm not that old), but I can't lie that I still love this series to bits.

[@markymark3572]

Loved the new Scarlet, despite its hopeless original airing on a Saturday morning kids show on ITV, it deserved better. A fitting final show for the late great, and sadly missed Gerry Anderson. I just got the series in all its glory on bluray...👍

[@richardsilva-spokane3436]

WOW the attention to detail and physics of motion are superb!! Excellent story kept me on the edge of my seat throughout 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@kaledranger18]

Sometimes you tend to find that remakes of shows that you liked when you were younger aren't exactly "up to snuff" with your evolved expectations, but I genuinely think that this iteration of Captain Scarlet can easily go toe-to-toe with its older counterpart! Alright, the CGI isn't exactly top-range here but it's got its own clear vision that it wanted to explore and was adapted very nicely for a more up-to-date and modernized setting, and it greatly expanded on individual characters that didn't have much more to say than a single line in a handful of episodes. I was very disappointed as to how it was treated when it first aired and I've since come to really enjoy this interesting new spin on the old format! Thanks for the good memories!

[@360Effects]

Something this show did that the original couldn't was help me believe the Spectrums Captains are very highly trained operatives, the way they move and react (like scarlet when he hears the mysteron say his name) all adds to it!

Absolutely brilliant loved it when I was a kid growing up in the 70s still love it to this day I met the great man once myself at a model exhibition of Thunderbirds loved all his work and the special effects team that he was able to gather together they must have been a bunch of great guys and and woman where head of that time I am now in my 50s and I still love stuff like this so does my children long may it continue.

[@mikedench1110]

Fabulous! I didn't like the original shows at all but these are top notch, I just wish they were longer and there were more of them. Can't get over the quality of the animation especially considering the time in which they were made. Gerry's perfectionist attitude and attention to detail was what made his shows stand out.

[@edtv21]

Great! First time I can watch the new captain scarlet. Thank you from Chile.

[@daveb6214]

This brings back great memories of being a young kid , Captain Scarlett was totally amazing to us back then , now with the tech they can do in animation is totally awesome. The late Great Gerry Anderson, what you gave us then and now is truly unreal, we owe you alot for all the adventures we had with all your creations. Godspeed Mr. Anderson.

[@marga8732]

I love that these episodes feature great storylines, likeable/relatable characters, character development, plus they are all extremely rewatchable! (I may or may not have watched "Chiller" 6 or 7 times…😄). I just wish this show could be continued…

[@vernalc2449]

Fun to watch, as are ALL Gerry Anderson productions. My favorite line (near the beginning) is when the female pilot says, "I've never crash landed on an alien planet before." Uhm, OK, so how many times have you crash landed on earth?? LOL

[@takeshihiraoka5310]

I got to say that the character of Paul, AKA, captain Blue, is a lot better in this series than in the original. In fact all of the characters are a lot better. I can't wait for the whole season to be on air again. Pity the makers don't do more episodes. Thank you for posting! I LOVE YOU!

[@quantisedspace7047]

I thought Blue was Adam Svensson.

[@merman93]

The CGI/Motion Capture is fantastic for the time this was released. There is a bit of difficulty with hands, and mouth/teeth, but still ground breaking. If the team was to do a series today, and use updated tech, like in the new Planet of the Apes films, it would be FAB. Spectrum is Green !!

[@master5gamingandotherstuff490]

such an underrated show. I'll never know why it was so short, but damn am I glad that it's being put on amazon prime and being released on blu ray. The animation was just amazing, and the voice acting and pretty much everything about this show. But one question, why are the opening and ending credits different?

[@georgeowain]

Parents complained about the shows dark tones and it got pulled off the airwaves. ITV always roles over when they get one complaint.

[@GerryAndersonTV]

During the original production, the team (especially Gerry Anderson) always wanted to recut the opening titles once they had more footage from more episodes. The original opening titles were only cut from the opening two-parter. Due to time and budgetary constraints, the new titles were never cut, until now! With input from the original production team, and taking into account Gerry's wishes for a faster-paced opening showing off a variety of material from across the series, we put these new titles together.

[@meputochannel3517]

Though they look good, you could have at least kept the character presentation bit. Still hope you guys release a soundtrack CD of Crispin Merrel's music, for both this and Space Precinct.

[@ewaf88]

I wish they could have used some of the original music -

[@AirwolfArchive]

georgeowain No, they didn’t. Every episode aired on the network. Then later for 2 re-runs on the main channel and CITV.

[@PhilDrury]

One of the best episodes despite that one scene that makes exogeologists nuts. Although watching it in hindsight, it feels very Dead Space to me now. ...with a hint of a Val Kilmer film set on Mars.

I prefer the Supermarionation version, this "new" cgi version just seems hollow. Edit: Hmm... I thought Captain Scarlet was British with a distinct accent and Destiny was French, ah well... :(

[@ACtheLegend]

Scarlet's original voice was based on American actor Cary Grant. Destiny was going to be French in this version, but due to political tensions at the time, she became a naturalized British citizen.

[@DaveLennonCopeland]

Andrew C - Cary Grant may have been an American actor but he was born in Bristol, UK thus giving him that quirky cross accent of sort of American and mostly British sounding. Captain Scarlet (according to Gerry anderson) was a British character... It seems to me that most remakes get "Americanised" for some reason. :)
