Television Heaven Another interesting aspect of the series was the fact that it was filmed entirely in Paris, France, giving it the distinction of being one of the earliest examples of multi-national TV co-productions. Often overlooked and neglected, the only possible explanation that this superior children's puppet series from the early sixties is not held in higher esteem, is that it reached the screen at the same time as Gerry Anderson's futuristic adventures were beginning to take off, with Supercar and Fireball XL5 overshadowing it. Series of one-off comedies highlighting the inimatable talent of Ronnie Barker, and the ease in which he could slip in and out of such diverse characters as the hard edged prison lag Fletcher, to the ageing northern shopkeeper Arkwright. www.televisionheaven.co.uk /overview9-1.htm   (419 words)

anythingbut.com: May 2005 Archives TV newsman Steve Edwards presented a satirical report, "Bad Judgment," which purported to reveal Cowell's "secret relationship" (the punch line: it was Cowell's love affair with himself). All of the series I have been speaking about so far are ones that have entered the public consciousness and atone time during their run they were Top Ten shows. For instance, if you enjoyed the show KNIGHT RIDER from 1982 to 1986 when it was on, you don't need me to tell you that the show was about a lone crimefighter who battles the forces of evil with the help of an indestructible and artificially intelligent supercar. anythingbut.com /archive/2005_05.html   (20273 words)

"Supercar" (1961) Trivia: Although Gerry Anderson had been developing the process on previous TV series for several years, Supercar is considered the first true Supermarionation TV series. Supercar could do absolutely anything, go absolutely anywhere and get out of absolutely any nail-biting jam. Comic relief came in the form of Mitch (some sort of anthropomorphic monkey), and the Dr. and the Professor (who tended to bumble). www.imdb.com /title/tt0054567   (409 words)

Television Heaven A to Z of TV Although Gerry Anderson's involvement with the creation and production of television puppet series had already commenced some five years earlier, 1962 saw Anderson's company, AP Films, release a new series which was fated to be the first true step on the former film cutting room assistant's pathway to legendary status. The series in question was Supercar, and with its premiere both Anderson's long and incredibly fruitful association with Lew Grade's ITC company, and the process known as Supermarionation, took centre stage for the first time. Supercar itself was a seven-foot craft made mostly of lightweight balsa wood, designed by Reg Hill at a cost of one thousand pounds; a small fortune at the time, especially for a company in such dire financial trouble. www.televisionheaven.co.uk /supercar.htm   (514 words)

Television Heaven The Supercar series featured pilot Mike Mercury (voiced by Graydon Gould), Its inventor Professor Felix Popkiss (voiced by George Murcell), and Jimmy Gibson, a ten-year-old boy who was rescued in an early episode (voice by Sylvia Anderson, making her narrative debut). With Lew Grade's shrewd efforts Supercar was the first British TV show sold by ITC to America, where it was aired in Autumn 1962 and grossed $750,000 in its first eight weeks. Supercar was set in the present (1960), and was conceived by Gerry Anderson and Reg Hill. www.televisionheaven.co.uk /hisanderson2.htm   (2104 words)

Me and my Shadow supercar 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 supercar Between having an extraordinary best friend and driving my own supercar I felt some major feature films and TV series of the seventies and eighties had much in common with my own real life. Of course that's not to say I didn't make mistakes-- but keep in mind there can be a huge difference between a supercar owned by someone who doesn't know how to drive it, and one with an owner who does. Well, those that seemed to resonate the most with me were the Dukes of Hazzard, Animal House, Back to the Future, the Blues Brothers, and the road warrior movies with Mel Gibson-- as wildly eclectic and improbable as all that sounds. www.jmooneyham.com /me-and-my-shadow-supercar.html   (1085 words)

Supercar Overview Finally, "Supercar" brought together (and retained from "Four Feather Falls" to some degree) a production team of technicians, voice-artistes and model-makers who would remain with Anderson for most of the next ten years and the TV series that followed. Supercar had eight rockets which, like the retractable wings, were electronically operated and could be controlled from afar by using the special remote-control device. In the case of "Supercar" the chief villains were Masterspy and 'friend' Zarin, who were supplemented occasionally by the likes of Jazz and Budd together with Judd and Harper. www.aiai.ed.ac.uk /~bat/GA/supercar-overview.html   (2005 words)

[ TVparty: Supermarionation ] In comparison to many of Anderson's other TV series which were to follow, Supercar was a very basic, very primitive, sci-fi adventure, far removed from the sophistication and explosive drama of Thunderbirds. Supercar (1961) was the story of an amazing new vehicle and of those who used it to combat evil. Supercar had eight rockets which, like it's retractable wings, were electronically operated. www.tvparty.com /tvp-AC/lostmario.html   (1622 words)

Gerry Anderson — the first famous TV producer? Part 1 Supercar was the first of Gerry Anderson’s productions to employ his trademark hardware. Compared to some of his later creations, Supercar was relatively low tech — but it was a taste of things to come. As his series became more sophisticated, and the puppets became less caricatured, the designers came up with more and more ingenious ways to stop the characters having to walk anywhere. www.suite101.com /article.cfm/broadcasting/92454/2   (479 words)

Sci-Fi Storm FAB Gear gears up for Gerry Anderson fans For years, American and Canadian fans of British TV Producer Gerry Anderson's shows, such as Thunderbirds, Space: 1999, UFO, Captain Scarlet, Supercar, Stingray, and Fireball XL5 have been frustrated in their search for collectibles based on the '60's and '70's sci-fi programs. Gerry and Sylvia Anderson produced Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90, and The Secret Service in the revolutionary "Supermarionation" process from 1959 to 1968 for Britain's Independant Television Corporation. Gerry Anderson is currently producing a new series of computer animated Captain Scarlet shows for release in 2005, and Carlton International is preparing an all new puppet series of Thunderbirds for broadcast in 2005 as well, to mark the 40th anniversary of the original series. scifistorm.org /article.pl?sid=03/10/02/2311202   (632 words)

Fireball XL5 - TV Comic, 1962-63 Whereas Four Feather Falls and Supercar had already been on the air, the as-yet unseen Fireball XL5 took second place in a half page advert proclaiming the next issue would contain the free gift of a model of Supercar itself. The scripts are attributed to Alan Fennell but it is difficult to believe he would write the scripts in such a haphazard fashion, when the witty Four Feather Falls and action-orientated Supercar remained consistently well done. Almost every visual reference from the series is lovingly recreated on the printed page, from Fireball XL5 and Space City itself, to less important elements such as Steve Zodiac's hover car and Venus' beach house. www.technodelic.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk /Upload01/FireballXL5Pt01.htm   (5705 words)

Gerry Anderson comics - buying and selling on the internet. Owing to the greater popularity of 'Supercar' with Anderson collectors, TV Comic issues featuring Supercar are generally more expensive than those featuring 'Four Feather Falls'. Although there were some books published about Anderson's earliest fictional characters of 'Twizzle' and 'Torchy', it was not until the puppet western series 'Four Feather Falls' that Anderson first made it into the world of children's comics. The third Anderson strip to appear in TV Comic featured the adventures of Steve Zodiac and his astronaut friends in the spaceship 'Fireball XL5', which first appeared in the comic in 1962. www.ardis.co.uk /tvandfilm/fabcomics.htm   (2141 words)

Sci-fans.com looks at Thunderbirds Anderson’s first three were “Supercar” (1961, starring a gadget-filled 7-foot model that cost 1000 pounds to build), “Fireball XL5” (set in the year 2063, with special effects by Derek Meddings of Moonraker and Superman fame), and “Stingray” (underwater crime fighters in the year 2065, Anderson’s first color TV-series). Derek Meddings, whose special effects for Moonraker (including a multiple Space Shuttle launch) won an Oscar® and who also did effects for the Thunderbirds series, did the explosive special effects in this early effort. * It was while doing the Round House (through which Thunderbird 3 would be launched) that Derek Meddings realized that the design of the building was just right for Thunderbird 5, the International Rescue space station. www.angelfire.com /mn/nn/Thunderbirds.html   (4823 words)

Television Heaven It can be argued with some justification that it was the ITV shows that in general captured the imagination of children more at this period, particularly with regard to the series produced by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson such as Four Feather Falls and Supercar. Back in 1963, when the series first began, television-related merchandising was quite uncommon and certainly the BBC were not geared towards such ideas. It became more and more adult in its approach and developed into a vital source of news and information for the show's fans, something that TV Comic had never attempted to be. www.televisionheaven.co.uk /whostuff1.htm   (2764 words)

Lew Grade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 1962 he purchased independent production house AP Films, co-founded by Gerry Anderson, which produced a string of popular children's marionette adventure series including Supercar, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, Joe 90, three feature films, and the live-action sci-fi series UFO and Space: 1999. Lew Grade is best known by viewing audiences as the man responsible for a number of cult British TV series, including The Saint and The Prisoner, through his ITC Entertainment production company. Grade was instrumental in bringing The Muppet Show to the screen and was immortalized by Jim Henson, who made a Muppet in his image -- Dr Bunsen Honeydew -- which had a very different personality and profession: He was the epitome of a Mad Scientist. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Lew_Grade   (576 words)
