Tv Theme Captain Scarlet End Credits

[@Shells2387]

My dad and I sat and watched this in the early ninety's. It was re-living a childhood for him and an education for me!

When I was six years old coming from kindergarten I would rush home just to see this show! Been over 50 years but the memories are clear...lol. Thanks for the upload buddy!

0:54 -- "Okay, we tried to drown him. We threw him out of a building. We tried to feed him to a snake. We threw him out of a moving car. We trapped him under rubble and put a bomb just out of his reach. We tied him up and threw him to the sharks. We tried a room with closing walls and spikes. None of that worked. Any ideas?" "Let's throw BOXES at him!" " Why... it's just crazy enough to work!"

One of my earliest TV memories must have been about 2 or 3 on one of the many repeats

[@Bay_Downward]

Even now, for a fact this is probably one of, if not the best kids TV show to have ever graced this earth and never regretted watching it

[@ricardogiampieri1408]

Uff!! how many happy memories of my childhood, I did not miss a chapter! Thank you for uploading it on youtube! , however, now with 56 years every now and then I see some chapter!! Cheers from Mar del Plata in Arg.

Thank you for posting video. The television stations in Central America always edited this ending for commercials.

My father loved this show as a kid back when it originally aired and he passed that love down to his children. To this day I can't help but smile when I hear this song. 😸

In the 1960s I rushed home after school to watch this show! Thanks for this video!

[@domwoodhouse2383]

#CaptainScarlet is probably the best shows I’ve ever seen. Never grow out of it. This a show that will continue bring me excitement. Thank you Gerry Anderson. You have inspired me to enjoy our indestructible hero and for me to be creative like this brilliant masterpiece. Spectrum is Green!!!

[@amsedelm]

One of the greatest themes. Especially the middle part. Awesome.

[@MorrisManDanceMan]

this brining back memories the old ones are the best as a kid thanks.

[@andrewf1145]

Thunderbirds literally *just* manages to take place as my favourite Gerry Anderson series, but Captain Scarlet was still a brilliant show. I loved the characters, I loved music, I loved the tone of the series and overall I thought it was beyond fantastic. Listening to this reminds me of when I used to jump around the house in the dodgy Captain Scarlet costume that I put together from a red zip-up vest, a red cap and some paper.

[@rehobothwell]

Living in an inner city apartment complex in Brooklyn, USA as a youth, I was amazed again and again by these shows from a far-away land on the TV. The incredible imagination of the Andersons was ahead of it's time, and it still stands up.

[@bonniestar4707]

I watched repeats as this and was obsessed with this show when I was younger. My parents took it with good humour and called me when it was on and gave me a Captain Scarlet birthday card one year and Captain Scarlet episodes on video :) Spectrum is green :)

[@stringdog911]

Gerry Anderson is a GOD!! He made my childhood

[@eddiewillers1]

Gerry Anderson - saviour of saturday morning TV in the 1960's. Even with CGI, it doesn't get better than this.

[@CrispyClaire]

This brings back so many memories! This was great.

I can't believe how old this is... I was watching this on T.V (along with Thunderbirds and Stingray) during the 90's!!!

[@chrismr368]

This coild make a stunning live action series on Netflix/HBO - done dead cold, and serious; imagine the opening secene, with a guy's best friend being killed, followed by say the final scene 50 mins later when the doorbell rings...

Wonder where those title paintings are now. If they still exist, they must be worth a bloody fortune.

Pure kitsch. I have loved this show for 41-years. God the DVD boxed set several years ago.

[@lazyweapons]

Without a doubt, though deemed 50 years out of date, i remember watching this as a kid (2004 ish...) This and Thunderbirds were so badass... (the old cartoon ntwork)

[@bonniestar4707]

+lazyweapons Snap ! Although I was a bit younger, but I loved Captain Scarlet as a child. My parents were probably baffled, but they got me a birthday card with Spectrum is green on it and Captain Scarlet videos and I was pretty hyped at that

[@Treblaine]

I remember watching this as a kid during the 90's revival, so nostalgic, I am amazed even after 40 years CS is without peer. I mean just this opening intro, showing the hero of the show DYING! In such ways, man they scared the crap out of me at 8 years old but I loved it. This show just had such a great idea, Mysterons able to impersonate anyone and turn them into a walking suicide bombs. Classic.

[@clearspira]

I like to imagine all of the Supermarination series all happening in the same universe but at different times. Captain Scarlet and Stingray in particular would work well together, as would Joe 90 and Thunderbirds.

[@loonytunescrazy]

They are pretty much set in the same universe that why you have Zero-X in both thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet , also Gordon tracy work for WASP for a bit

[@briishperson4555]

Fireball xl5 would work like 100 years after the others

[@cheritripp9470]

I think Lady P of Thunderbirds is friend of one of Angels from CS.

[@RobH1093]

Funnily enough, the TV 21 comics in the 1960's actually had Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, and Captain Scarlet occurring in the same universe, and some characters actually had backstories tying into the different shows. Before he was a Mysteron, Captain Black piloted one of the Fireball XL vehicles, and Captain Grey was the original pilot of Stingray before he was forced to retire due to a back injury. Plus Gordon Tracy from Thunderbirds also served with the WASP's prior to International Rescue going into operation.

[@cheritripp9470]

@@RobH1093 I have one of those issue. In the Rhapsody Angel bio it mentioned she was a FAB agent for Lady Penelope (Thunderbirds) before she was recruited to be an Angel.

[@HiringHamblin]

0:54 even as a child I never thought Captain Scarlet really needed to be indestructible to get out of that situation. They could've sent Magenta.

[@helikos1]

Send Magenta? What's he gonna do? If you don't think that's a life-threatening situation I'll drop 20 kilo boxes on you and see if you survive

[@HiringHamblin]

helikos1 Oh sure, it is potentially life threatening, as long as Scarlet doesn't just step out of the way. If the box pushing Mysteron fiend is resorting to this sort of hijinks he probably doesn't have much chance of killing Scarlet off in a fight. Scarlet steps out of the way, shoots the Mysteron a bunch and the writers forget that they made Mysterons resistant to everything but electricity. One dead Mysteron, three broken boxes, one dead President whom Magenta failed to protect from a genuine threat.

[@helikos1]

Hamblin Approved What? Well you can't kill Scarlet. Why is Magenta about? And when did he become president?

[@HiringHamblin]

Magenta is left to protect the President whilst Scarlett was mucking about with this box bothering Mysteron fella.

[@helikos1]

Ok :/

[@Nihilanth1982]

enjoy. i normally watch an episode a day before going to bed. spent the first 6 months watching anderson. watched thunderbirds twice over, stingray and captain scarlet. i think scarlet is very underrated, its very good and is as relevant as ever as its about terrorism. stingray was my least favourite. thunderbirds is what i loved during my childhood. enjoy the dvds. spectrum is green.

[@MarxistKnight]

I always thought an awesome (if unwanted) ending to Captain Scarlet would be that he was the ultimate Mysteron agent all along and had always been under their influence!

[@TheCrestfallenGamer]

love this old show

[@DavidMoxham957]

The lyric isn't "his body will burn" it's "and his body may bow" which is a slightly anachronistic English term for something to bend rather than break. I hope the phrase now makes sense.

[@roberthaworth9097]

The apparent exceptions are two: there are "second-class" Mysteron agents who don't retrometabolize more than the one time needed to intially create them; Black and Scarlet, however, are first-class agents who do r.m. indefinitely. Second exception is if the Mysteron core complex (on Mars) is destroyed completely -- it was NOT co-located with the complex they had there that Black impulsively wrecked, but nearby. Sort of like wasting a Cylon resurrection ship -- takes awhile to build another.

this is the best tv program then l still like it now still a kid at hart and l think we are all are

[@seetengtan6746]

I'm reminded of the Monty Python song where the song just describes the brave deeds of the knight that is going to die in numerous horrible ways. Captain Scarlet's super power is just to die in a terrible manner in almost every episode (more in flashback sequences)!

[@LaLaLaflobble]

Ha, this ending theme was epic and properly funky as well!

[@MrMjp58]

Does anyone know why there were two different versions of the outro to CS? This one, and the other with a sort of robotic reply to the main refrain. These seemed to be alternated weekly or even at random.

All I can say is that I had a wonderful childhood growing up thanks to my parents ❤️❤️❤️

[@captainscarletamysteronage5354]

Captain Scarlet the best out of all the puppets shows. And captain black was dark

[@Dirtcreature]

The instrumental version was in the earlier episodes. I always found this the more grown up of the "supermarionation" stuff which Jerry and Sylvia did. Dark, sinister, and only handful of people defending Earth from extinction

[@kingbilgames]

@Foebane72 Captain Scarlet is not a prototype of anyone. He is Captain Scarlet, a legend.

[@Scythemantis]

There's something unintentionally funny about seeing him in one horrible, losing situation after another with heroic music.

[@TaylorZanderFrancis]

@Ashworth6 You got to remember that this was a war of nerves. The Mysterons are testing the people of Earth by telling them what they're going to do. Even though Spectrum knows what they intend to do, they have no idea how they were going to do it. And if Spectrum manages to beat them, the Mysterons are like "whatever", and go after someone else next Friday Tea Time (or whatever time it used to be on in your area).

[@SolidGoldCEO]

you could caption every scene with the phrase "Oh Bollocks!"
