Hi folks, Let's move on to the next episode in the A&E DVD set: Planet Of Platonia. Interestingly, both A&E and Carlton were unable to get the episode title ...
I don't know about Bazan being naive. In the scene with the "refresher fluid", he seems quite aware that he is not as beloved as he'd like. His insistance on...
Hi Robin, What's there not to like? Ninety - ah! A refreshing character, as is Matt. Got to watch Planet of Plutonia sometime today or tomorrow so I can get...
... think ... story. Larry I tend to agree with you on this. That whole "refresher fluid" scene really puts Bazan in an interesting light. Of course he made ...
Bazan is a fool since he turns away just as Volvo is about to drink and thus foils his own 'test'. The remoteness of Bazan's palace is easily explained....
... and thus ... Or maybe not. If Bazan actually "caught" Volvo and had him arrested, he'd have to put up with a new assassin. At least if he suspected Volvo...
Hi Michael, Whilst the 'wise' ruler idea could have worked, they didn't do the story that way. Bazan could have had Volvo watched if he was truly suspicious....

Hi again, Another thought, just to give the imagination a work-out........... Luckily for everybody, Volvo cracked in the end and the bomb was discovered in...
Hello Mrs Gooner, Thank you for raising all these very interesting points. It's this kind of 'reading between the lines' that helps to make XL5 so much fun as...
Hi Mrs Gooner, I think the Carlton DVDs are clearer than the A&E versions, though both are very good. Yes, my feeling is that Bazan is a 'bad' ruler. His...
Hi everybody. Cheryl, where are you? Never mind about those deadlines.....there's more important issues requiring your attention here. :o) I've just been...
Hi Mrs Gooner, Yes, Mitch was in Supercar from the very first episode - along with the kid, Jimmy. I would guess that Zoonie was incorporated at the outset of...
Hi Mrs Gooner, Zoonie's debut... When I first saw the Doomed Planet on DVD, I found the attitude of Steve and to some extent, Venus surprisingly cool. But, I...
Robin has a good point here...why did Matt assume that Steve had made a modification to Robert? We've seen no indication that Steve has any talent or...
Hi Mrs. G., I'm here! Received your email regarding Zoonie and I have to agree with you and Robin that the Lazoon's been around quite a while. He almost...
Hi Larry, Possibly because Robert wasn't being his "usual robot" and Matt had nothing to do with it? But why would he blame Steve, or was Steve the only one...
Hi Cheryl, You'd have to watch the episode to see what we are talking about with Robert's 'modification' which is actually a bomb planted by Volvo. It's...
Hi Robin, I need to watch the episode again, but I do remember the bomb and Volvo. Yes, it's so obvious where the device is planted. In a transparant robot....
Howdy folks, Ok, our next episode for discussion is 'Space Magnet'. Written by Anthony Marriott Directed by Bill Harris The first episode to feature Zoonie. At...
Just in case anyone missed it, New Captain Scarlet episode: Mercury Falling, featured a 'space shuttle', which had the general configuration of Fireball XL5,...
Hi John, Thanks - any chance of a picture or two? Homage? Probably. But this kind of shuttle launch is a seriouisly proposed future stage in 'space shuttle'...
Any word on when the new Scarlet may be released in the States? I was a big fan of the original, and have the DVD set. It took 40 yrs but I finally saw the...
Hi Ed, I loved the Captain Scarlet series too. As with UFO, I felt they didn't take things far enough - ie, it was a defensive struggle. It would have been...
Howdy Folks, I will try to get some images posted just as soon as i can. The actual shuttle featured was contemporary in .It was tapered with two enormous...
