Thunderbirds are GO !

What about Captain Scarlet and the Mysterions, all the pilots were women:

I was obviously too young to appreciate that aspect of Captain Scarlet.

It's a bit like pantomimes - something for the kids and then the phwaor factor for the adults.

That was the weird thing about UFO: Gerry Anderson wanted to move on from kids' stuff and intended it for adults, hence such lines as "These clouds give about as much cover as a g-string on a belly dancer" (Col. Alec Freeman, S01E01 "Identified", 30:08).

But ATV insisted that, as it was made by Anderson and had spaceships, it must be for kids, and scheduled it accordingly

The other weird thing about UFO was that with Gerry and Sylvia Anderson finally getting away from "those damn puppets" and do live action, with the wigs and silvery jump suits they gave the human actors a similar look to the puppets.

I'm too young for UFO, and I guess it hasn't been repeated in the way that Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Stringray have so I've never really seen it. But I'm half way through the first episode on YouTube already.

The lady fighter pilots of Captain Scarlet were called The Angels, led by Destiny Angel IIRC:

And the scheduling is probably why I missed it.

P.S. What time of day was it on?

[lilelvis2000]

Yes.

The 2nd season was ruined by the same chap who ruined the 3rd season of STOS.

Didn't realise JJ Abrams was around then.

Ah, the lovely and voluptuous Gabrielle Drake, something even the Lizard would get his teeth into!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Purple Hair.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

It was never explained why the hair was purple on the Moon & absolutely normal on Earth.

Scary.

How did I guess?

Blocked by the netnanny.

Then again, it blocks "Philip K. Dick" so I'm not really surprised.

Wouldn't want Jnr. Lizard getting his mind warped would we? Somewhere J T Kirk is laughing.
