Puppets Go BOOM! Episode 4: Stingray

In this episode of Puppets Go BOOM!, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 1964 sci-fi series Stingray. Set in the year 2064, an organization called the World Aquanaut Security Patrol is in charge of policing the World's oceans led by Commander Shore. Stingray, their flagship submarine, is controlled by Troy Tempest and his partner George "Phones" Sheridan. They go on underwater missions and adventures as well as take down the evil tyrannical ruler King Titan of Titanica and his agent X-2-Zero who wears disguises to help King Titan to rule the surface.

Stingray was the first British television show in color, the first Supermarionation show to feature puppets with glass eyes, rotating hands, and more humanized proportions to make them more realistic, and what many people call the first "classic" Supermarionation show after learning from the previous shows like Supercar and Fireball XL5. Does it stand the test of time or has it not aged very gracefully and should be called the prototype of later shows to come like Thunderbirds?
