- In a long and storied career, Leo Eaton spent only a few short years with Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's team of puppet and special effects experts, but his time there was formative. In this interview, he shares stories from the making of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, Joe 90, The Secret Service and UFO as well as thoughts on his experience with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and time in the orbit of renowned B-Movie maestro Ed Wood.

Did anyone else have TV21 magazine/comic delivered evey Thursday? I couldn't wait for it- it was jus wonderful. for a young boy who lived for sci fi and Thunderbirds -I was six or seven If i remember correctly.
Just found out Leo passed in 2022. so sad now. all these people who made my childhood fun are disappearing. Life is so short .Young Kids - just go and do what you want- enjoy your short time on this planet!
Yes it was the best thing ever
I remember them in fact I still have a TV 21 annual that I have had since I was a kid. I'm now sixty years old and I could never part with it.
Wonderful interview with Leo Eaton. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Great Documentary on Leo Eaton (director on Scarlet, Joe 90 and secrecy service and Assistant director on UFO.) Great talent
Wonderful interview - yes, Leo you *are* a legend 🏆🎖️ And while the camera work and special effects were top notch and have stood the test of time, let's not forget the music. Amazing themes and underscoring 😎😎😎
Super interesting stories and the sense of what fun Leo had really comes across. As a kid of the 60s these shows were a massive part of my childhood and this 'behind the scenes' stuff is so fascinating.
I saw all the Captain Scarlets recently and when all the characters being shot, crushed in car lifts, set on fire etc, I really wondered if it was suitable for children to watch, but as a child myself, I loved it.
Wonderful.
Can We take time, to appreciated,all the efforts of team behind Gerry's Productions,?
It's truly amazing!
well done leo not only did you make my childhood and teen life great, but i have never stopped being a follower of all those great shows and have scores of the model kits related to each one..
Great video. Leo sounded like a wonderful chap. He really came across like he loved his work. Sad that he passed recently. RIP
What a lovely chap!
Cool to learn first hand what it was like for Leo working in-depth on the sets of these puppet classic shows. Thanks!
Thankyou for letting us in on that, very well done
Loving these.
Learning so much.
I was born in 1971 but TB and CS were replayed loved it all as a kid was the best TV for me as a kid
"Place Of Angels" was definitely Leo Eaton at his absolute BEST!
Omg. So cool. From my childhood. And lived in that neck of the woods all those years ago. Cookham, Maidenhead, Slough. So cool. DrZ🙏🏻
Nice one 👍
Joe 90 was good captain scarlett and the mysterious great 😊
Must be lovely to just decide what you want to do for a living
Theresa May took up the naughtiest job of all when she went running through fields of wheat! And she was a Tory puppet!
Regarding UFO, I never understood the other planet between the moon and earth at the end credits.
He sounds like Chris Packham 🤪
It's the most annoying speech impediment to listen to
Why, does he wanna give Michaela Strachan one too ? 😋🤪
U.F.O. was U.K.'s answer to the Invaders. Space 1999 or Blake's 7 was the answer to Star Trek.
Alas, Joe90 or Secret I have never seen , nor Anderson's Space Cops. Captain Scarlet - saw a few episodes, but came at a time when I was not the right age for it. Too bad public libraries or TH-cam doesn't carry them.

@@Jaytee. No streaming or digital t.v.
F.A.B. Leo! Also, any relation to Shirley?
To use 60's / 70's parlance, Captain Scarlet was "dishy!" 👍😜❤️ ... Wonder if he'd be up for some, "no strings fun?" 🤣
I like Captain Black too! ... Everybody likes a bad boy!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Martin Landau was the best puppet.
Did he string you along, or are you highly strung?
@@bobbybigboyyes to be honest, it's difficult to look credible in a beige stretch flared jumpsuit.
I had completely forgotten about Secret Service until a few years ago when I began coming across Century 21 Slough docs on TH-cam. I don’t know if it’s available on dvd but I’d love to revisit it.
