Paul Starr is the pilot episode for a 1960s sci-fi puppet series that never made it to television. It was filmed in colour and starred Ed Bishop as the voice of heroic space agent, Paul Starr. But here's the twist - it wasn't produced by Gerry Anderson. This show was the brainchild of former Anderson associates Roberta Leigh and Arthur Provis, who had their own take on how to make futuristic puppet televsion series. So, is Paul Starr any good? Why did it never become a full series? And how similar is it to hit Supermarionation shows like Fireball XL5, Stingray, and Thunderbirds? It's time for Jack and Ben to dive in!Subscribe: https://youtube.com/JackKnoll Visit: https://securityhazard.net/Patreon: https://patreon.com/securityhazardFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/unofficialgerryandersonblogBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jackknoll.bsky.social and https://bsky.app/profile/benwolfpage.bsky.socialX: https://x.com/securityhazard and https://x.com/cinemarionette

Join us for a battle of the Rollers! Lady Penelope's pink Rolls Royce is an icon of Thunderbirds, and one of TV's most recognisable cars. FAB 1 is ably driven by Parker on land and sea, gunning down bad guys and getting to the danger zone just on time. Meanwhile, Gerry Anderson's 1980s puppet series, Terrahawks, gave us HUDSON - a self-driving car with a mind and voice of its own, plus a chameleon paint job that changes to suit the scene. But which Rolls Royce of the future is better? Jack and Ben are having a War of Nerves to find out!

What makes a Thunderbirds puppet different from a Captain Scarlet puppet? The marionette stars of AP Films and Century 21 changed considerably between each of Gerry & Sylvia Anderson's exciting television series. Jack and Ben are going to chart the advancements of the Supermarionation puppets and choose some of their favourites!

Stand By For Action! This week we're celebrating one of the most beloved adventures of the Stingray crew with the episode Treasure Down Below. But that's not all! Ben has a surprise section of the show planned especially for Jack...

Space: 1999 offered up so many memorable episodes, but why does Dragon's Domain linger in the nightmares of so many fans? Ben and Jack are ready to face Tony Cellini's monster in this week's Special Assignment.

Our first ever guest, Andrew Clements, is dropping by with a film for us to watch - the all-puppet action-adventure spy spoof, Agent Crush (2008). How was Agent Crush influenced by the work of Gerry Anderson? Why did it take over a decade for the film to be released? And is it any good?

The Gerry Anderson universe is littered with characters who arrive full of promise and then disappear after a few episodes. Jack and Ben are going to shed some light on the forgotten Anderson characters. Then, later in the show, we'll be exploring everything that might have been if the final Supermarionation series, The Secret Service, had continued past its ill-fated short run of 13 episodes.

Is there any crossover between classic cinema and the action adventure of Supermarionation? Jack and Ben take a trip to the jungle for a look back on "The Wages of Fear", a 1953 action film remade in Supermarionation as "Colonel McClaine" in Joe 90, and also homaged in the Supercar episode "Keep It Cool."

The clash of two Spectrum titans! It's the battle of the SPV from the 1967 Supermarionation series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, and the Rhino from the 2005 CGI remake Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet. To help settle the argument, Jack and Ben are pitting two Scarlet episodes from the different eras against each other: "Special Assignment" versus "Trap For A Rhino"!
