BACKGROUND

Anything can happen in the next half-hour!

Stingray was produced in 1961 hot on the hills of Fireball XL5. It was the first British
television series to be produced in Colour in an attempt to appeal to the all important
American market.

Captain Troy Tempest commanded Stingray for the World Aquanaut Security Patrol and
patroled the ocean depths battling rather bizzarre characters like King Titan and the agent
X20. Of the good guys, there was Troys buddy Phones, Commander Shore and the delectable
Marina (who could not speak!). 

At a cost of £1,000,000 for the 39 episodes, this was Anderson's most costly production to date and paved the 
way for his next project that secured his success...Thunderbirds!

TRIVIA FAX

Lois Maxwell debuted the same year as Miss Moneypenny in Dr.No, a role she would
play up until A View to a Kill in 1985. 

Troy Tempest's face was based on Maverick star James Garner. 

David Graham would voice further Anderson characters including most famously
Parker in Thunderbirds. He also appeared in the Doctor Who story The City of Death (1979).

Although shot in Colour, the UK only saw it in B/W until Colour broadcast was introduced
proper in 1969.
