You know you're addicted to Captain Scarlet when ...

The rest of the discussion on clothes has been moved to a new thread: The colour of the clothes I like to wear. This was because it was going increasingly off topic for this thread.

You can find it in the 'Off Duty Lounge' thread.

Sorry about that, Marion. That was my fault.

Mine too, it's so easy to go off topic.

Okay back on topic.

1. You create a multiverse story to introduce a fandom to Captain Scarlet.
2. In your eyes a Ferrari can easily be mistaken for an SSC or Cheetha.

You see someone that looks a bit like Captain Scarlet driving your bus and wonders if you should wait until the next one comes.

by **Intensity Angel** » Tue Sep 18, 2012 6:02 pm

That's a good one!

You hear a trivia question on a game show about Captain Scarlet and yell out the answer.

The question I heard was 'Who created the television series Captain Scarlet?' and I yelled out GERRY ANDERSON!!!

You know you're addicted when you try to add NCSish designs into your Resistant Materials (RM) coursework(And get away with it(without breaching copyright)). :grin:

I have another one here, At an Hollywood costume exhibition, you spot Uma Thurman's costume from kill bill an point it out, and you instantly think of Touch of the Reaper (and confuse your parents at the same time as they know you haven't seen Kill Bill (yet) as it's an 18) . :oops:

You know you're addicted to CS when you go back and watch an episode because there's a piece of dialog you've forgotten...

by **chrisbishop** » Wed Nov 07, 2012 4:02 am

Well, that can also mean ANY reason is good to watch the series!

You know you're addicted to Captain Scarlet when you watch an episode because you need to use the background of this specific episode to write a fan fiction... and it so happens that it's your favourite episode!

As I said, ANY reason... :wink:

Someone (mentioning no names, Chris) starts you wondering if you can get away with showing CS in science as an 'educational video'

I *think* I actually saw on YouTube a little video of some people actually testing the truch behind "Big Ben Strikes Again". It would be worth looking for that video again.

Something to do when I'll be back home!

by **Captain Indigo** » Thu Nov 08, 2012 12:15 am

You did, and that was where the discussion started :wink:

For those who are interested, and haven't seen it before, this is the video in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8RsdDEWAy8.

Since that video was made, the BBC series 'Wonders of the Universe' have also had a go at this. The clip can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4lgFKYWx0o&feature=related.

... *sob*... just worked out my little darlings aren't even old enough to have seen NCS first time around! They would only have been 4! Feeling ANCIENT...

But they'd have been right in the stated target age range - 4-9 year olds! - so, chin up, Captain Indigo, they might have seen it... :wink:

by **Captain Indigo** » Sun Nov 11, 2012 12:15 am

target age range 4-9, DVDs rated 12. I think the DVDs are closer - I'm not sure CS (either) is suitable for 4 year olds!

by **Marion** » Sun Nov 11, 2012 10:00 am

Nor am I. The stated target age range for NCS has always seemed a bit of an anomaly to me.
