Captain Blue's Dad
Moderator: Spectrum Strike Force
Does anyone know if his name was ever mentioned in the original character bios ? Most of the official stuff I've found just refers to him as General Svenson.

It certainly would've been interesting to see what a Series Three had in stall for us. Maybe we'd have got more details on the other Angels.

The show was to entertain, the merchandise did the informing.

I think similar merchandise was in preparation for the new series, but it was such a damp squib that most of it was cancelled.
I still believe that all need not necessarily be lost with NCS. All it needs is someone with vision to present it differently. I accept that would take more money and investors would be understandably reluctant, but it could be done. After all, if you look at the music industry, there are many occasions of songs becoming hits on re-release,rather than on their first time around.
Getting back to Blue's dad, thanks for your comments, everyone. It would seem that there is no official christian name, which at least clarifies it for me. It's up to the fanfic writers from now on, I guess !

All down to Lew Grade of course that.

Y'know how we can give Captain Blue's dad any name in the world, well what would Gerry really think, seeing NCS expanding outwards into the unknown, with each fan fiction writer having their own different view points, own opinions on the characters, like me believing Rhapsody and Grey have naval backgrounds and serving along side one another, and then expanding on things within the series like the hinted fondness between Blue and Green.
It really is down to us to expand the series if you think about it.
