How come everyone still calls the Angels by their codenames even though they're meant to be undercover?

And what ever happened to the black haired model?
Did Scarlet and Blue leave her at the party?
Not very professional of them.

did anyone else see colonel white in front of the camera when the lights went out even though he was meant to be on cloudbase.

Also I think I saw Rhapsody Angel in the background of the first shot of the party and did anyone notice Shane Rimmer's voice. He said "I can't see a thing."


By Kinggodzillak on Monday, December 03, 2001 - 1:27 pm:

I thought that was Jeremy Wilkin, but Shane Rimmer did voices for Scarlet and Joe 90. I did see Rhapsody at the party, as well as a puppet I had never seen before and one puppet that played the SPV owner later in the story.

The Mysterons really are cocky and also incredibly dumb – if they didn’t keep announcing their intentions, they might actually succeed!

How come the bodies of the models weren’t found in the train wreckage?

Why didn’t the Mysteron models kill Verdain when they were first alone with him?

Why did Black and the model take Verdain with them? Why not just kill him there and then? Black says, “We need him alive” but the Mysterons had always announced their intention to kill him, not take him hostage.

Once everyone’s back at Verdain’s place, Capt Scarlet says that the Mysterons will seek another victim now. Is it Mysteron policy to only try to kill someone once, then give up?!


By Kinggodzillak on Monday, December 03, 2001 - 2:40 pm:

Yes it is. Except in Point 783 and the Mysterons. Then they tried TWICE!

'Black says, “We need him alive” but the Mysterons had always announced their intention to kill him, not take him hostage.'

Reminiscent of the first episode, isn't it?

Why is the commissionaire wearing a London Airport uniform?


By Kinggodzillak on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 1:34 pm:

The commissionaire can be clearly seen at the party! :)


By Paul Joyce on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 2:03 pm:

Yes - he was Dr. Magnus was he not?

It seemed a lot of cost-cutting was done not just with puppets but with costumes - wasn't Lieutenant Sienna dropped from Attack because of that?


By Kinggodzillak on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 2:54 pm:

Yep. Even though they could have just given him a Spectrum guard uniform that they had at least 3 spares of if they had desperately wanted him.

I'm not surprised that Col. White barked at the four undercover agents. Symphony striking a coy pose was bad enough, but what was with Destiny swinging her hips?

Why was Captain Scarlet holding Symphony's hand? Were they trying to make Captain Blue jealous?

Regarding Symphony and Destiny keeping their "work" names--while calling the men "Scarlet" and "Blue", or worse yet, "Captain" would have sounded distinctly odd, "Symphony" and "Destiny" would have sounded like appropriate names for fashion models.

Captain Scarlet said that their Mysteron detector had gone down with the ship. Why didn't they try using it when they had it, instead of lazing about on deck?

Did Captain Black shoot Verdain with a tranquilizer? Because otherwise, he should be dead. Verdain had no time to move between Scarlet yelling his name and the gun going off.

What ever happened to Gabrielle after the kidnapping?

Perhaps the reason that they tossed Verdain overboard was that their vanishing act would not work with a real human being present.

Lucky that Verdain didn't break his neck, falling directly onto his head at a fairly high speed.

That shot of Verdain staring in disbelief, not even hearing Scarlet behind him, was well done.

At the end, Symphony looked as though she were reaching to kiss Verdain. Tch, tch, tch!

Speaking of which, wouldn't it be unethical for the girls to accept those dresses? After all, they were just doing their assigned jobs. Scarlet and Blue didn't get any perks.
