Ep 48 – Unseen Captain Scarlet Special Guest Stars
Did you know that Gerry & Sylvia Anderson originally hoped to cast Patrick McGoohan (The Prisoner, Danger Man, Ice Station Zebra) as the World President in the pilot episode of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, and create a puppet with his likeness?
