Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe face and voice of Captain Scarlet were both based on Cary Grant. In fact, Captain Scarlet's voice artist, Francis Matthews was chosen to voice the character based on the fact he could do a Cary Grant impression. In fact series creator Gerry Anderson came close to moving heaven and earth to get Matthews who had been either unintestered or unavailable. Anderson managed to convince Matthews to divide his time between onstage appearances in Noel Coward's play Private Lives and the Captain Scarlet voice recording sessions.
- GoofsIn Spectrum Strikes Back (1967) it is mentioned that the only thing that can kill a Mysteron agent is high voltage electricity and that Spectrum has made an anti-Mysteron gun. However in both previous and following episodes we see normal guns with bullets killing Mysteron agents. Plus the Mysteron Gun does not appear in any other episodes except this one.

[repeated line]
Captain Black: This is Captain Black, relaying instructions from the Mysterons on mars. You know what you must do.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credit sequence of some early episodes ends with the spoken warning: "Captain Scarlet is indestructible. You are not - remember this. Do not try to imitate him."
- Alternate versionsFour episodes were edited together with some new special effects for a 1980 TV Movie titled Captain Scarlet vs. the Mysterons (1980). A further compilation of the four lunar based episodes were compiled a year later for a sequel entitled Revenge of the Mysterons from Mars (1981).
