My favourite is the Unitron. I don't even begin to understand how the series producers managed to come up with a remote-controlled Remote-Controlled tank that fired miniature flamethrowers that looked so realistic.
Its so good that people are keeping Mr Anderson's work alive, i was born in 97 so never seen Captain Scarlet run but i love the show along with Thunderbirds and Stingray, i have so many old vhs and toys of the shows, Super Marination is so much better looking that modern CGI.
They re-mastered the Thunderbirds episodes into HD, and you can actually see the grain of the wood they used to make some of the vehicles. Shattering the illusion and messing with my childhood memories.
Funny you should say that, because on Io, in the book Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers, Lister and Rimmer actually first meet due to similar vehicles being used as cabs on Io, and Lister trying to make money by stealing one and posing as a cabbie.

Traffic being a serious issue on Io.
Great countdown! nice to see some Dalek Sram support from the Gerry Anderson channel. Personally I you have a great clear and informative voice over and look forward to you doing more! Many thanks
Another great list, and one that reminded me of two of the most utterly creepy things I ever saw on a TV show - especially one made for children. Captain Scarlet was my favourite show as a child - I was four in 1967, and lived, breathed, and ate anything to do with it. I showed some bits of the show to my five year old nephew recently, and it scared him, which disappointed me somewhat. However, I've wandered a bit. Rewatching the whole series, it's astonishing just how dark it was. In 'Winged Assassin', there is one shot that always chills me to the bone: just after DT-19 has crashed into the sea, a piece of wreckage, bearing the serial DT-19 floats to the surface. As it does, the retrometabolized DT-19 flies into shot, high above. I find that so very, very creepy. The other scene is from 'Avalanche'. Scarlet and Green enter one of the 'Frost Line' domes (after Lt. Green very efficiently knocks out a sentry), and find everyone in the dome very dead, surrounded by an eerie mist. The radio is still playing; water runs on dirty dishes in a sink. Tiny details like these, make you feel sadness for these people, snuffed out in the middle of doing everyday, mundane things. Again, the scene is tremendously creepy, with the knee high mist swirling about the corpses.
I always found captain scarlet the scariest as a child from the start with the circular lights on a dark surface and the voice saying "we are the mysterons ...." to the end with the jarring music, as you say some very dark ideas and details and also storylines where the goodies don't always win.
the Moon Mobile of course very much epitomises a certain design school within spacecraft simplicity, utility like the much older Mini Cooper a design classic with influence far beyond it's own time th-cam.com/video/_5lX2mcpWM8/w-d-xo.html :)
Bit of trivia about the trailer truck, it makes brief appearances in "The Launching" & "Special Assignment" too. In "The Launching" Captain Scarlet is briefly held up by the lorry when he's racing to the shipyard, and in "Special Assignment" the back of the trailer can be briefly seen parked up on a side street in an establishing shot of Scarlet's Arizona hotel. Another vehicle that deserves a mention is the Angel jet transport lorry from "Seek and Destroy", which is basically Thunderbird 2 re-incarnated as a lorry.
My favourite was always the trailer truck aka transporter. I think it was and still is my favourite vehicle in the show even including the spectrum ones! I remember wanting a toy version of it as a kid but as far as I know they never made one. Sad times 😔
Number 2 the trailer truck was based on a kids remote controlled toy called 'Johnny Express' it was a tractor unit and trailer made by Topper toys, always easy to spot by its wheels, the Shadow Mobiles were also based on a child's toy tank called 'Tiger Joe' as were a few more tracked vehicles. I was lucky enough to have both Tiger Joe and Johnny Express as a kid.
Moon mobile was great, but I'd of classed it as a Spectrum vehicle. Nice to see Gerry's work still being loved. I was born about the same time as Stingray, so these programs and Barry Grey's music are part of who I am.
I remember watching this show as a kid, thought it was great. Bought the 10 DVD collection about 20 years ago, and started to watch them. Let's just say, I enjoyed them as a kid.🤣🤣🤣
I like DT-19 as a vehicle but I have a soft spot for TVR-17, purely because White As Snow is my favourite episode from Captain Scarlet. Plus, it being blown up looks amazing on the Blu-ray!
Star bug in Red Dwarf always reminded me of the Moon Mobile, I wonder if Grant & Naylor got the idea from here and Mike Tucker the design? The Taxi hoppers in the first Red Dwarf novel again also make me think of the moon mobile.
Out of curiosity, I wonder if you'll also end up doing a guest structures/buildings from the various Century 21 series, and there were a lot of amazing looking locales as well! Paradise Peaks and Thompson Tower, as well as Lunarville 7, were fairly memorable, to name a few. A rather silly suggestion, but you can't deny that the architecture in those shows was unique.
The shapeof the Moonmoblies is great but their hopping action seems a bit naff. The later hover version is much better, I think. BTW I ordered a T2 mug from the merchandising site and it arrived in no time, very impressed!
I have a model of the Frost Line Maintenance Truck from the episode "Avalanche" (the episode itself was written by the late Shane Rimmer), which came with my SPV Electronic Combat Set. However, I must admit that the model is totally out of scale compared to the SPV itself, being about half the size of the Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle whereas in the TV Series the actual snow-track is about double the length of the SPV. By the way, this is a great countdown video. :)
there is a lot of work that goes into one of these episodes. It took a man to decide to put his time into doing something like this with the most likely outcome of not making anything back for his efforts. What was ultimately on his side was the fact that entertainment is about doing something outside the normal bubble and this is another example. Kids loved it because it was different and funny. Good for him.
To this day Winged Assassin and Big Ben Strikes Again impress me as remarkably suspenseful at all levels. And the simple (somewhat) response to "Why didn't the Angels just shoot the SKR4 out of the sky?" is, "How much time did they have to calculate the intercepting vector?"
Legend has it that Scarlet actually bought Green shares in Nestle's Bounty candy bar and, until Green's death at the age of 102, his eternally youthful colleague Scarlet brought him a box of King Size Bounty bars every single Sunday afternoon.
Definitely a little late, but in regards to what construction could require a nuclear weapon there was actually a *plan* in for a nuclear device to be used in the Yorkshire Dales (I think) around the 1950s/1960s or there abouts. The plan was to use the device to create a large cavern to store natural gas. Of course this never got past the planning stage and was no-where near being authorized but is an interesting tid-bit
I have a question. When I was a kid (circa 1977) did Machbox release some of the ground vehicles? Would be interesting if you can make a video about old toys based on the series, if there are any. Great video! My favorite is the Moon Mobile, by the way 🙂
Matchbox never had any film or TV licences in the 1960's or 1970's, sad to say. However, their vehicles do appear often in Gerry Anderson shows, as set enhancements - often moving, by the way. The police cars on the apron of Glenn Field in 'Thunderbirds Are Go!' on the launch of ZERO-X 1, emphasize how vast the ship is. The cars have flashing lights fitted on them, by the way. The yellow truck full of pipes, speeding from the Ab-Ben Dhu oil refinery in the Thunderbirds episode 'Ricochet'. That's a larger Matchbox model. Some of the vehicles heading in the general direction of 'away' before the Crablogger arrives at the Dam site, in 'Path Of Destruction', are Matchbox models. The articulated 'Cooper Jarrett' trucks by the Fireflash in 'Trapped In The Sky' are Matchbox models. As they were small, but realistic, a bit of weathering made them look less toy like, and their size made 'Hero' models look huge.
Sounds like a fun idea for a video to match the toys up the in episode use of them. That truck we see with the nuke on it looks really similar to a Dinky or Matchbox Super Kings toy I've seen ; perhaps it just shared the 1960's idea of the future which made it look really similar.
late 80's early 90's there was a revival/ rerun of scarlet and thunderbirds, and matchbox did do diecasts for both the only diecasts i remember were the red patrol car and the spectrum jet, possibly the spv (there were also plastic ones with soun chips made by vivid imaginations in the early 00's featuring the above three [of which only the spc had sound chip] as well as the helijet , an angel jet
DT-19: New world aircraft corporation, a subsiduary of Tracy Avionics? It looks like Thunderbird 2 with some Zero X parts attatched! Makes sense they'd want some Thunderbird tech to make air travel safer.
Great Video! I am still disappointed that the CGI Remake never took off... :( It was really well written and it was Great seeing how Captain Black first became a Mysteron Agent... Ahhhhh! How I wish that many of these old shows could get a new lease of life with an Animated Variation for a modern audience... Heck, It worked for Thunderbirds, Why does no one have any faith in teh rest of Gerry Andersons work such as Joe 90, Stingray, Terrahawks (In fact - JUST RE-RUN THAT ONE! Its PERFECT!!! Just... If you do - Choose better people to make a toy line! :P Seriously! I REALLY WANTED a Fully Playable Battlehawk with Figures!!! Kenner would have been perfect for that!)
I did wonder why the difference between the two moonmobiles. A cargo bay it may be but it doesn't look convincing that it could carry the lunar tractor.
Was there a really similar moon hopping vehicle in some other things - such as 2001 and also a BBC series called something like space police or space cops (no not the one with the flying cop cars and puppets) this was a sort of drama / police show but not an action adventure show like Space Precinct. (sorry I don't recall the exact name).
@@90lancaster I actually havent seen it, just heard Big Finish are doing a continuation audio series about it and the title matched your description. :)
That was Terrahawks. The car was a Rolls Royce with AI and was capable of camouflaging itself to blend in. It's name was Hudzen, or Hudson, depending what you look at. Also, the show used hand puppets, not marionettes.
No wonder japanese were shocked by these sophisticated toys and the rest of Supermarionation series in 60's. The whole Japanese were shouting and rolling down the ground while these were aired on tv. And also i guess that idea of name super Mario was originated from Supermarionation.
I have never seen an episode of captain Scarlet, so I cannot pick a favourite. However I am determined that your No. 1 is the most ridiculous idea in Anderson works ever. You'd have to go to David Szondy's Tales of Future Past website to see sillier ideas. Eg.: davidszondy.com/futurepast/rollerball.html
Thank goodness for the Mysterons never learning to clean up after themselves, otherwise Spectrum would have never caught on to some of their duplicates before they could get away with it. Remember kids, tidiness is a virtue
Did you enjoy this countdown? Did you agree with the selection? Thanks to Mark for guest hosting this one!
You're welcome! 😊
Thanks. This video is great, I love it! I love the Moon Tractor and Moon-mobile.
My favourite is the Unitron. I don't even begin to understand how the series producers managed to come up with a remote-controlled Remote-Controlled tank that fired miniature flamethrowers that looked so realistic.
Awesome.
Great video. Surprised at the omission of the MSV (Maximum Security Vehicle) though...gerryanderson.fandom.com/wiki/Maximum_Security_Vehicle
Its so good that people are keeping Mr Anderson's work alive, i was born in 97 so never seen Captain Scarlet run but i love the show along with Thunderbirds and Stingray, i have so many old vhs and toys of the shows, Super Marination is so much better looking that modern CGI.
I always loved the moon mobile. Glad to see it recognised here.
As a child born in 1959, I had the best kids tv ever with captain scarlet, joe 90, stingray, fireball XL5, thunderbirds, oh and Bill & Ben.
any other recommendations?
As a child born one later in 1960 I do agree with you on this.
They re-mastered the Thunderbirds episodes into HD,
and you can actually see the grain of the wood they used to make some of the vehicles.
Shattering the illusion and messing with my childhood memories.
I just realised that Starbug from Red Dwarf looks like a Moonmobile.
Funny you should say that, because on Io, in the book Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers, Lister and Rimmer actually first meet due to similar vehicles being used as cabs on Io, and Lister trying to make money by stealing one and posing as a cabbie.
They were utterly sickening to ride in, and accidents meant several vehicles piled atop each other, but you generally arrived in the same season in which you set off. Traffic being a serious issue on Io.
I always thought that SID from UFO looked like Starbug.
My favorite? The frostline maintenance truck.
I had a large motorized model of the UNITRON..that made noise and was wire remote controlled...got it as a gift from a aunt who bought it in Europe.
Hope you guys enjoy this. It's not everyday I do top 10 countdown video. 😊
You lucky guy

All our childhoods would have been so much poorer without Gerry Anderson,visionary genius.

Hi, yes, as per my comment ref just neutralising their victims rather than killing them, the show was ver dark or Neo Noir (New Black), kind regards.

I would have loved to have worked on that show and built the models
DT-19 is definitely a favourite of mine! The Unitron too!

I remember watching this show as a kid, thought it was great. Bought the 10 DVD collection about 20 years ago, and started to watch them. Let's just say, I enjoyed them as a kid.🤣🤣🤣

I like DT-19 as a vehicle but I have a soft spot for TVR-17, purely because White As Snow is my favourite episode from Captain Scarlet. Plus, it being blown up looks amazing on the Blu-ray!
everything looks AMAZING on the Blu-Ray versions :). i'm still amazed at the transfers.
I thought this was going to be one of those annoying clickbait videos, turns out it was really good! Very well made.
I love all this stuff.
Star bug in Red Dwarf always reminded me of the Moon Mobile, I wonder if Grant & Naylor got the idea from here and Mike Tucker the design?
The Taxi hoppers in the first Red Dwarf novel again also make me think of the moon mobile.
Just a tip, a Chinook is a specific model of helicopter. The term for that design style is Tandem Rotor.
Out of curiosity, I wonder if you'll also end up doing a guest structures/buildings from the various Century 21 series, and there were a lot of amazing looking locales as well! Paradise Peaks and Thompson Tower, as well as Lunarville 7, were fairly memorable, to name a few. A rather silly suggestion, but you can't deny that the architecture in those shows was unique.
Very well done! Thank you very much.
A marvelous video. However, to me, the Seneca Helicopter resembles a Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane than it does a Boeing/Vertol Chinook.
I was born at the end of 1958.My childhood was built by Gerry Anderson!
The shapeof the Moonmoblies is great but their hopping action seems a bit naff. The later hover version is much better, I think.
BTW I ordered a T2 mug from the merchandising site and it arrived in no time, very impressed!
I also noticed the resemblance to the moon mobiles from UFO.
t2 can travel in time so it can arrive yesterday

DT-19 is such an awesome plane. Even with that silly fin attacted to the front of it.
(I do love (unecessay) fins on vehicles to be honest)
Best in all Gerry Anderson creations is Joe 90 fly car
My personal favorite is the DT-19.
I realy liked that thanks
Great video, and an excellent summary of the sometimes dark tones of this show (heavily influenced by the Cold War context).
Agreed!
The MOON MOBILE !!!
The moon tractor looks cool when captain scarlet got out from the explosion with the tractor just in time
Beyond the vehicles, did anyone else ever think Captain Black looked like DeForest Kelley?
If only this video was 4s longer…
Excellent content! Thank you!
that moon bug looks like a flying resistor
Did Lt Green ever get his coconuts?
Legend has it that Scarlet actually bought Green shares in Nestle's Bounty candy bar and, until Green's death at the age of 102, his eternally youthful colleague Scarlet brought him a box of King Size Bounty bars every single Sunday afternoon.
The other interesting vehicles in the series were the Mysteron spacecraft from Attack on Cloudbase and the Minisat 5 from Shadow of Fear.
Thank you ✨ ✨✨
