	Barry Gray - Biography - AOL Music
		Although he was engaged in the writing of music for all manner of television programs and even a few feature films scattered between them, Gray inadvertently provided the "soundtrack" for the childhood entertainment of millions of viewers around the world during the 1960s and 1970s.
		That late '50s British television series was special for being populated on screen entirely by marionettes and for the next decade, AP Films -- which later became Century 21 -- specialized in series built around marionettes, all scored by Barry Gray.
		Supercar, produced in 1959, was Gray's first major musical triumph and the first of the Anderson-produced series to make an international impact, proving extremely popular with younger viewers in America as well as England.

	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.

	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.
		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.
		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.

	Gerry Anderson comics - buying and selling on the internet.
		The arrival of 'Supercar' on television was quickly followed in 1961 by the second Anderson strip in TV Comic.
		As well as the usual television strips, New TV Action featured the new generation of pop stars such as David Cassidy and The Osmonds whose popularity was chiefly with young teenagers at whom the magazine was now aimed.
		Future collectors of memorabilia of today's television programs may have to be content with the odd annual and the occasional paperback storybook to put on their shelves.

	Supercar (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Supercar was a children's TV show produced by Gerry Anderson's AP Films for ATV and ITC Entertainment.
		Jimmy Gibson is, in hindsight, exactly the sort of Wesley Crusher-type character who may have engaged the intended viewer at the time, but now arguably irritates rather than informs, and the chimpanzee is a classic example of a "comic animal".
		Supercar was a vertical takeoff and landing craft.

	Supercar - TV Comic, 1962
		Supercar remained in the centre pages but whereas the colour had previously been on the covers, and split on pages 5 and 12 for Lenny the Lion and Huckleberry Hound, it was now used here in all its glory.
		The initial Supercar strip may have been the precursor of TV Century 21's realism approach, but the full colour artwork spreads (as opposed to just two pages side by side) of that comic possibly owe much to their introduction here, though they were already a feature of other comics, like TV Express.
		The special chemical in the paint of Supercar is traceable, and the signals bring Mike to a hotel in a nearby city, outside of which is the convict's getaway car...

	Supermarionation / Stingray / Fireball Xl5
		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.
		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 - TV Comic, 1961
		By the time Supercar made its debut, American western The Lone Ranger (drawn by Mike Noble) had been transferred from TV Express, bringing the adventure strips closer to a contemporary vein as opposed to the historical dramatisations like G.A. Henty's Winning His Spurs, or adaptations of Biblical stories.
		Supercar's first job was to rescue some stranded fliers lost in the sea.
		Supercar is hit and, after a long series of manoeuvres in which Mike attempts to regain control, ditches in the Australian outback...

		SUPERCAR’s 39 fl-and-white episodes “starred” a cast of marionettes that included test pilot Mike Mercury (voiced by Graydon Gould), his young orphaned friend Jimmy Gibson (Sylvia Anderson), his pet Mitch the monkey (David Graham), Professor Popkiss (George Murcell) and Dr. Beeker (David Graham).
		Supercar itself is a space-age vehicle (designed and built by Professor Popkiss and Doctor Beeker) that’s a combination automobile, aircraft, spaceship and submarine all in one.
		Back at their base, the Supercar team is ready to go; their computer determines that the capsule’s twenty-two miles offshore from the Brazilian jungle.

	The Hologlobe Press -- T.H.A.T. #8
		Before 1946, what few television stations existed in the country were stand-alone entities, and, mostly, what programming the stations put over the air or broadcast was generated by the stations.
		Some television stations are full-power stations, which can be considered regular television stations, and some television stations are low-power stations, which have smaller broadcast ranges than full-power television stations have.
		Since the late 1990s, the television industry has been going through a transition, going from analog in nature to digital in nature, and High Definition TV (or HDTV) is one form of digital television.

		The V8 Supercars had their first public outing for 2001 in the Hot Wheels Showdown, part of the support program for the Australian F1 Grand Prix at Albert Park.
		This is a non championship round that still carries plenty of prestige due to the large crowd and the presence of lots of industry heavy weights there for the Grand Prix.
		With a bigger crowd and television coverage on Saturday the first corner was very hectic.

	Gerry Anderson [1929 - ] @ EOFFTV
		She knew of a new children's television show being put together by novelist Roberta Leigh and urged the partners to bid for the sub-contract to produce the show.
		Again it was success and the team decided to try science fiction with their next project, Supercar – but this time, Granada were wary and refused to fund the project, again leaving AP Films financially vulnerable.
		Supercar [1960 - 1962], and AP Films, were saved by the intervention of Lew Grade, head of ATV, who financed not only the entire series but also the development of a new puppetry technique that Anderson was planning which came to be known as Supermarionation.

	Nippop \| Supercar \| Profile
		Hailing from chilly Aomori Prefecture, far to the north of the teeming Tokyo metropolis, Supercar has quickly morphed from UK guitar band soundalike into a pioneer in experimental music with a fully-formed musical vision.
		Often compared to Radiohead, another sometimes experimental group that has managed to capture and keep the public's attention, Supercar is in the enviable position of being able to simultaneously follow their muse and maintain a significant fan base.
		The group was formed in 1995, recording demos and gigging sporadically until the release of their first single "Cream Soda" in 1997.

	[Roy Morgan Research] Morgan Poll
		Formula 1 and V8 Supercars are panel-to-panel in the race to be Australia's favourite TV motorsport, but Formula 1 wins with the top end of town, according to Australia's premier market research resource Roy Morgan Single Source.
		V8 Supercar's appeal, on the other hand, was more uniform across Australia, with South Australians (26% occasionally or almost always watch) most likely, followed by Queenslanders (21%), respondents from NSW (20%), Western Australia (18%), Victoria (17%) and Tasmania (17%).
		Commodore drivers are 38% more likely than the average driver to occasionally or almost always watch V8 Supercar events on television (28% of Commodore drivers occasionally or almost always watch V8 Supercar on television), while Falcon drivers are 26% more likely (25% of Falcon drivers watch V8 Supercar).

		Greg Rust is no stranger to the smell of burning rubber and petrol fumes, having his first taste of motor sport at the age of a mere 18 months — when his parents took him on a high horsepower outing to the Sydney Showground speedway.
		Trained at the Australian Film and television school, Rust now indulges in his passion for motor sport from the microphone.
		When given the opportunity Rust likes to indulge in squash, tennis - however he harbours the burning ambition to attend the famous Le Mans 24 hour in France and would never knock back the opportunity to jump behind the wheel of any racing car.
