- Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, often referred to as Captain Scarlet, is a 1960s British science-fiction television series produced by the Century 21 Productions company of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, John Read and Reg Hill. First broadcast on ATV Midlands between September 1967 and May 1968, it has since been transmitted in more than 40 other countries, including the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Combined with scale model special effects, characters are presented as marionette puppets in a filming technique that the Andersons dubbed "Supermarionation", a technology that incorporated internal solenoid motors as a means of producing mouth movements synchronised with pre-recorded dialogue. Set in 2068, the series charts the hostilities between Earth and a race of Martians known as the Mysterons. After a misunderstanding results in human astronauts obliterating their base, the vengeful Mysterons declare war on Earth, initiating a succession of reprisal attacks that are countered by Spectrum, an international security organisation. Spectrum boasts the remarkable abilities of its top agent, Captain Scarlet, who comes to possess the Mysteron healing power of "retro-metabolism". This ability to return to life, even after suffering fatal injuries, essentially makes Scarlet "indestructible". Captain Scarlet, the eighth of ten puppet series that the Andersons produced in the 1950s and 60s, follows Thunderbirds and precedes Joe 90 and the little-seen The Secret Service. In terms of visual aesthetic, the series represents a departure from the style of Thunderbirds due to its use of non-caricatured marionette puppets of realistic bodily proportions. Re-run a number of times on British television and purchased by the BBC in 1993, the 32-episode series has been the foundation of merchandising campaigns since its first appearance, leading to the release of items such as toy dolls and other associated media, including novels and comic strips in the Anderson-related children's magazine, TV Century 21. Compared to its antecedents, Captain Scarlet continues to be recognised as much "darker" in tone and less orientated towards child audiences due to increased levels of violence and themes of extraterrestrial malevolence and interplanetary conflict. The transition in puppet design has polarised the opinions of commentators and former production personnel, although the series has been praised for its depiction of a multinational and multiethnic cast of characters against the backdrop of a utopian future Earth. Deciding to revive Captain Scarlet in the late 1990s, Gerry Anderson supervised the production of a computer-animated reboot series, Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet, which commenced broadcast in the United Kingdom in 2005.

- Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons (kortweg "Captain Scarlet" genoemd) is een Britse sciencefictionserie uit de jaren 1960 met marionetten in de hoofdrol, gemaakt door Gerry en Sylvia Anderson, de makers van de veel bekendere serie Thunderbirds. Net als die serie werd Captain Scarlet een cult-serie en een jaren 60 fenomeen. Captain Scarlet is stilistisch gezien precies hetzelfde als de Thunderbirds: veel marionetten, veel bordkartonnen decors en veel maquettes. Net als bij de Thunderbirds spelen bijzondere voertuigen en spectaculaire explosies een grote rol. Ook is de bombastische muziek van Barry Gray weer van de partij. De verbinding tussen beide series is het ruimteschip Zero-X dat in de speelfilm "Thunderbirds Are Go" zijn entree maakte voor een rampzalige vlucht naar Mars. Bij de eerste aflevering van Captain Scarlet zien we de Marslander van de Zero-X, de MEV (Martian Exploration Verhicle) weer terug op Mars. De bemanning, waaronder Captain Black, zal onder invloed van de Martiaanse Mysterons komen. Inhoudelijk is de serie echter heel anders dan de Thunderbirds, het verhaal bevat minder humor, de plot is ingewikkelder en het geweld is realistischer. Captain Scarlet was meer op een volwassen publiek gericht terwijl Thunderbirds meer voor kinderen was.
- Capitão Escarlate foi uma série de televisão britânica de 1967 a 1968 produzida por Gerry Anderson, John Read, Reg Hill e Sylvia Anderson. A série consistia de animação com marionetes (chamado nos créditos da série de Supermarionation), uma técnica que já fora usada em díversos programas anteriores dos mesmos produtores. Aqui, as marionetes possuem uma cabeça menor e mais proporcional com o corpo em compraração com as anteriores, embora isso dificultasse a simulação de movimentos labiais. Uma característica desta série é de utilizar cores vivas para identificar diferentes personagens, que usam o nome dessas cores em inglês como sendo os respectivos nomes tais como o protagonista, o Capitão Escarlate.

- When I made Supercar for ATV, we put a number of black characters in an episode because the story demanded it. ATV had an American advisor at the time, and he made us take out every black character and replace them with white characters and white voices. He said he would not be able to sell it to stations in the South because of the black characters ... I was always very anxious to promote racial harmony, so as soon as people had become more sensible I took advantage of it.
- While it would become a huge success, Captain Scarlet received a less than enthusiastic reception from critics. It caused a stir among parents, who condemned the show for its realistic carnage, and children who were bemused by its gritty realism.
- Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons should have been one of the most successful puppet shows and it wasn't. I think it was too perfect. There was a lack of humour. It was too mechanical and needed humanising ... [Gerry] always wanted to make the characters a lot more rigid than I did. I wanted to start to give them human flaws, start to make them more important. He was more inclined to make them just say the lines and fit into a rigid pattern, but if you don't care about the characters, it doesn't really work.
- I still wonder about the wisdom of our decision to change the puppets. The heads were reduced in size to make them in proportion with the rest of their bodies, but the problem was that exact and precise movements became more vital than ever and that caused us terrible difficulties. After creating Snow White in perfect human form, Walt Disney said he'd never repeat that mistake, and I still have doubts about whether or not we did the right thing.
- The titles on the series were always devised by me. When it came to Scarlet I was frightened people would say, 'Oh, it's the same old "crash, bang, wallop" stuff again.' So I made a conscious effort to do something totally different. I don't think I necessarily did the right thing.
- I thought we should make a show about the Martians, but then there were doubts being expressed by scientists as to whether the so-called "canals" on Mars were really man-made. Since we were well into pre-production, I came up with the idea of making the Martians invisible, so if they did come up with conclusive evidence that there was no life on Mars, I could say, "Ha-ha, yes there is—but you can't see it."
