Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet is a British computer generated action-adventure reboot of the 1967 Supermarionation series, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons . Both series were produced by Gerry Anderson. As a nod to Supermarionation, the new series' computer animation was promoted as "Hypermarionation". [2] It was the last show produced by Gerry Anderson.
The series premiered on the British ITV network in February 2005. Instead of having its own timeslot, each episode of New Captain Scarlet was shown within the children's Saturday morning children television show, Ministry of Mayhem . Anderson was unhappy with this scheduling decision, claiming the show was ignored. [3] [ better source needed ][ original research? ]
The Radio Times said fans "felt the essence of the show had been pixelated away", [4] while The Register called the series a "rehash". [5]
In 1999, Anderson supervised the production of a computer-animated test film, Captain Scarlet and the Return of the Mysterons, to explore the possibility of updating some of his 1960s Supermarionation series for a 21st-century audience. [6] [7] The working title was Captain Scarlet – The New Millennium. [7] Produced by Moving Picture Company using a combination of Maya software and motion-capture technology, the film features Francis Matthews and Ed Bishop reprising their voice roles of Captains Scarlet and Blue. [6] [7] Set a few years after the Mysterons apparently cease hostilities against Earth, the film sees the reappearance of Captain Black, setting the stage for a revival of the war with Mars. [8] The film was screened at a Fanderson convention in 2000 and a science lecture in 2001. [9] [7] It was released on home media in 2017. [10]
The success of Captain Scarlet and the Return of the Mysterons led to the development of New Captain Scarlet. [3] The new series was first announced in 2003. [11] Much of its £22 million budget was contributed by private investors under the Enterprise Investment Scheme. [1] [12] [13] For all episodes except the first three, motion-capture photography was completed by the production companies in-house, using a 16-camera setup. [14] As a nod to the original Captain Scarlet, which was "filmed in Supermarionation", the opening titles announce the animated remake as being "created in Hypermarionation". [2]
In the year 2068, peace on Earth is maintained by the Spectrum Organization, a super-efficient security group, headquartered in the vast floating aircraft carrier Skybase, which hovers on the edge of Earth's atmosphere. Spectrum is staffed by agents recruited from various military services, who are each assigned colour codenames to hide their true identities. Under the command of Colonel White, Spectrum has become the supreme peacekeeping force, maintaining a fleet of sophisticated vehicles for use by Spectrum field agents.
A mission to locate the source of mysterious signals originating from Mars unleashed the power of the Mysterons, a ruthless alien consciousness. When Spectrum Captains Scarlet and Black discovered the Mysteron city on Mars, Black mistook the intentions of a probe for a hostile offensive and opened fire, completely destroying the city. Using their power of retrometabolism (the ability to recreate matter), the Mysterons rebuilt their city, killed Black, and promised to crush Earth and its destructive people. This has taken the form of a war of nerves, with the Mysterons using their powers to influence people, vehicles and inanimate objects to fall under their control.
The Mysterons' primary Earth agent is Captain Black, recreated from the body of the original Spectrum agent. Captain Scarlet was also engineered to become an agent of destruction, but the Mysterons' hold over him was broken after he fell through a power conduit in the Skybase engineering section. Retaining the original man's memories, personality and loyalties, the new Captain Scarlet also retains the Mysteron ability to survive injuries that would prove fatal to any other person. Spectrum's personnel and facilities are now mainly mobilised to combat the threat of the Mysterons, with Captain Scarlet as their greatest weapon.
Skybase is a 330 metre long command ship and the operational headquarters of Spectrum. It is permanently stationed above the clouds at 18,288 m. There are six main engines to keep the base positioned in the sky and a further ten engines designed to keep Skybase balanced. Skybase is home to the fleet of high-tech Spectrum vehicles, including the squadron of Falcon aircraft.
The Falcons are handled on Skybase using a unique magnetic control system. After landing on the magna-strip runway, a circular lift lowers the plane into the hangar. Robotic arms automatically re-fuel, and re-arm guns and missiles. Using this system means that the Falcons are always action ready.
These craft are either Spectrum vehicles (used off-Earth) or vehicles not associated with Spectrum but used multiple times during the series;
The 2005 CGI reboot of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, New Captain Scarlet, was preceded by a short test film titled Captain Scarlet and the Return of the Mysterons and screened privately in 2000 and 2001. [17] The film was finally released to home video as part of the Complete Blu-ray set in 2017.

ITV premiered New Captain Scarlet on the Saturday morning children's entertainment show Ministry of Mayhem . Episodes were split across two parts and shown with truncated opening titles.
Anderson later claimed: "They took my half-hour show, cut the titles off and cut it in half. It wasn't even listed so people who watched Ministry of Mayhem had to wait and watch all the nonsense going on before the first half. When it finished they didn't say there was a second half or when it was going to start. After they had shown all the episodes, legally it had to be cited as a repeat so it never had a premiere. It just broke my heart." [19]
In interviews with Den of Geek and Big Finish, Anderson further dismissed Ministry of Mayhem as "a three-hour rubbish show", claimed parents had to "suffer" when NCS wasn't on-screen, that he was uncredited, and that Ministry of Mayhem "murdered the show". [20] [21]
In the United States, the series aired on Animania HD. [22] [23] International sales rights were handled by Sony Pictures Television and Sony Wonder. [24]
Episodes were aired in the order they were completed and delivered to ITV, meaning that the series finale aired as the penultimate instalment. This is because an alternative episode had to be made after one was abandoned because Gerry Anderson thought it was too scary for younger children.[ citation needed ] On 29 September 2017 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original Captain Scarlet series, New Captain Scarlet became available to stream in North America via Amazon Video. In the years since, the series has also been available to stream on YouTube and Tubi.
Both Series 1 and 2 are available on DVD in the UK, the latter being produced under the ITV DVD banner. Individual volumes are available with three or four episodes on each disk and box sets of all volumes from both series are available separately. The DVD case for Series 2 gives a completely inaccurate description of the episode "Grey Skulls".[ original research? ] The description mentions Scarlet taking a camping holiday with his sister and her son when they are attacked by the Mysterons. They then seek shelter in a house owned by an old toymaker and collector (plans were for him to resemble Gerry Anderson) but the Mysterons then bring to life all the toys in the house with murderous intentions. This episode (called "House of Dolls") was originally planned and scripted but eventually scrapped, as it was considered too scary for small children[ citation needed ], and may not have been shown by broadcasters, so it was replaced by "Grey Skulls".[ original research? ] However, the script was given a live performance by the cast at the 2006 Fanderson convention Sector 25 (with a guest appearance by Shane Rimmer as the toymaker).[ original research? ] Series 2 is rated 12, due to some rather blunt violence that was not shown in the CITV version.[ original research? ] It is also worth noting that the episode in Series 2 known as "Duel" has the wrong name on the box for the holiday resort. It is called Serendipity on the episode summaries, but was called Tranquility in the episode itself.[ original research? ] Furthermore, the episode order for the last disc of the series 2 DVD is incorrect. The final episode of the series "Dominion" and the aforementioned "Grey Skulls", which was the penultimate episode, should be watched in reverse order. [ original research? ]As of early 2013 the series (Sony Licensed) has yet to achieve DVD release in North America, making it one of only a handful of Anderson series not to receive home video release outside the UK.
