Joe 90, Thunderbirds, UFO, Captain Scarlett, Space 1999. Jerry Anderson thank you for making my childhood from the late 60’s to the mid 70’s so awesome. I salute you sir😁😁

"Joe 90" was my favorite show as a young pre-teen boy. I totally forgot about the advanced science ideas this series was based on (direct brain download - wow! 😵‍💫). Thanks, Gerry Anderson, for sparking my imagination all those years ago!

Wow! When I was a kid I used to love Joe 90. The main theme is fantastic. Now after all those years the show still catches my attention! Thank you so much for bringing back this show!!

I remember watching Joe 90 and Thunderbirds as a kid after school...couldn't get enough..especially the machinery and vehicles..I loved it!

@koont666

My band at the time covered the theme tune in the early 80s

Let`s take a look at the Mig 242. What amazes me is the design of the dorsal structure and the nose towards the canopy strikingly resembles the actual existing Mig29 Fulcrum. It appears more that way if we take a look at the side view. It is also equipped with the twin-vertical stabilizers which even slightly leaned outward. The swing wings are identical as they were used in Mig23 so the creators tried to make the aircraft look more like the Mig by adding the sense of reality. The prop model was reusing and modified the Angel Interceptor appeared in Captain Scarlet. The Angel was already designed to look this way and she had the sophisticatedly sculpted aerodynamic feature which did partially look like Mig29. Personally speaking, the Angel rather had a vibe of the Lockheed F104 StarFighter and it is hard to believe that these model planes were designed and built in 1968 when this show was aired. Obviously, the U.S. didn`t have the "Teen Fighters" ( F14, F15, and F16 ) which we had to wait to have existed till the early '70s. In addition, the Mig 29 came out somewhere in 1986 and was officially introduced to the Western nations at the Farnborough air show in 1988. I have no idea how much research they did on to the Mig fighters but it is so amazing that the design of the jet took the decades ahead which couldn't be possible to exist back then. Let`s get down to the drama portion. This episode was dealing with the national threats in the middle of a confrontation between Wests and Easts during the cold war era. The story was involved with espionage and the vibes of a thriller as the plot is about stealing Russia`s most sophisticated highly advanced fighter aircraft which Wests are no match. The screenplay sounds like a thriller novel Firefox written by Craig Thomas and published in 1977. The book was subject to a 1982 film adaptation produced and directed by Clint Eastwood. The script of the Joe 90: was written and shot almost 9 years prior to the publication of the novel Firefox. I honestly have no clue if this episode has inspired and motivated Craig Thomas, the author of the novel, however, it is going to be the toughest maneuver of all to track down and find out what the truth was hidden beneath as those highly classified jets. I`m going to conclude my comment for saying thanks to those who uploaded this video and gave us an opportunity to watch it again. The episode was beautifully shot with the well-written script and putting in so much devotion to making everything to come real. They really should deserve more respect and honor. They earn it.

I know I'm odd, but the way the Russian guard says 242 is funny. Incidentally, the 242s were modified Angel Interceptors from Captain Scarlet. Most of the puppets seen in Joe 90 were originally made for Captain Scarlet too, including both Sam Loover and Shane Weston. That theme tune... some groovy stuff!

gawd, did this bring a wide smile to an old git!

I defininitely like this more now than back then, when I found it a tad cruddy after previous Supermarionation adventures like Thunderbirds (the best!), Captain Scarlett, Supercar, etc. The plot was a bit thin here, although the lecherous expressions on the little bugger's face ( 11:20 -ish) were a treat to behold. The predictions of the future stood up pretty well, I thought. So thanks for making this available, and in such great quality!
