Captain Scarlett or Thunderbirds

[Bigg Bigg Blue]

Has to be Thunderbirds, it has probably the most recognisable introduction in the world.

Almost 20 years ago there was an internet joke which showed Captain Troy Tempest in his cabin at sea saying "Shit we've just run over Steve Irwin!" - the well known naturalist and croc hunter whose heart was fatally stabbed by a stingray.

Loved UFO
And the theme tune is epic

At the time I just thought that UFO was the coolest thing ever. Still do.

Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons for me, I always liked Arteta's alter ego, Captain Black!

I enjoyed it as a kid but only for the naughts and crosses, watched an episode other month and was not as impressed

I left space precient off which is also a banger

Precinct?

I had a Capt Scarlet outfit when I was a kid, Red Tunic and his hat with a piece of wire that swung down like his mic did. Had a die cast model of his car as well, the SPV, loved that programme and Joe 90, had a cardboard briefcase like his!

City fans will obviously vote for Thunderberts whilst rags and gooners will vote for Scarlet.

Other way around.

Scarlet was indestructible. Sticks and stones etc etc...think 115.

Thunderbirds were financed by an old American who forked out at the start then raked in the cash.
