Help Needed!

by **James. C** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 8:45 am

I have a photo of Alan Shubrook with a petrol station model I very highly suspect was taken during the making of Captain Scarlet.

I have check all the times that Captain Scarlet and Captain Blue visited a petrol station during the series, to pick up SPVs.

Now the only other episode I know he does this on is Fire at Rig 15 but Disc 4 of the boxset is so horribly scratched, it won't even load up the menu! (Last time I'm lending out DVDs to friends!).

Now can someone tell me please, when Scarlet goes to that mechanic or petrol station and picks up the SPV (which is hidden in that oil storage tank), does the petrol station read "(something) auto services" and have "Viberant" signs about?

If someone can think of another episode this is from (or even series!) or provide a DVD capture, I'd really appreciate it.

Many thanks,
James

Hi James

I just checked Fire at Rig 15. There's no clear signs around at the site. There's 3 characters on the tank but can't make 'em out and something on the door but no clear 'auto' signs.

It could be a different episode. Manhunt perhaps or...Treble Cross.

I was also thinking Treble Cross, because that episode is also on the scratched disc. Could you please check that for me?

And it's not Manhunt, that has the same petrol station as The Mysterons, but different markings.

Thankyou so much!

The photos are from the UFO episode Flight Path. One of the photos show the SHADO car which Paul Roper was driving when fired on by the UFO.

Thankyou so much!

Are you sure? Can you check the episode please (just making sure the car wasn't re-used), was that petrol station in that episode?

Thankyou!

If it's one of the photos from the Shubrook website then I can confirm Bill's answer. Definitely 'Flight Path'.

No worries, James. Anything to help a Spectrum captain!
