GERRY ANDERSON - THE COMMEMORATIVE COLLECTION

AVAILABLE ONLINE AT EZYDVD.COM.AU 

 

This special collection features three of these much-loved series in their entirety along with behind the scenes galleries, commentary and trailers and is a must-have for any fan.

Contains the following:

 

Captain Scarlet:

2068. Earth is at war with a bizarre martian enemy, the Mysterions. Only Spectrum, the world security organisation, and its number one agent Captain Scarlet, can hope to defend the planet against the invading aliens and stop the intergalactic war of nerves before the Earth is destroyed.

 

Joe 90:

Professor Ian Mac McClaine, a brilliant computer expert, has invented an incredible device called the Brain Impulse Galvanoscope Record and Transfer or BIG RAT. BIG RAT enables the knowledge and experience of one person to be transferred to another. Mac demonstrates the machine to his friend Sam Loover by transferring his own brain patterns to his adopted son Joe. Joe, with the aid of this technology and some very special glasses, becomes the World Intelligence Networks (W.I.N) most effective agent fighting evil and saving the human race.

 

Stingray:

2065, Marineville. The World Aquanaught Security Patrol (WASP) fight against the evil Titan and the Aquaphibians, grotesque undersea warriors, in the quest for world peace. Wasps most powerful asset is the sleek and deadly underwater craft STINGRAY, captained by intrepid Troy Tempest. Helping him are Phones, the brave radio expert, the Commander Sam Shore, his daughter Atlanta and Marina the voiceless, tailless Mermaid.
