The Discreet Charm of Stingray
by drspecter β€’ 2002-12-24

"Stingray is my favorite Supermarionation show by far! The themes are often strangely adult, we're shown Troy Tempest's dreams in some of the episodes, and there's a lot of unrequited desire between the puppets. Not surprisingly, the puppets drink pretty often. This is not to dismiss the technical aspects of the show usually harped on. The look of the show is amazing, representing a larger, color version of the outlandish production design of the nifty Fireball XL-5. The Stingray itself is as mod-looking as the Batmobile.

πŸ’‘ Did You Know?

Some of the main puppet cast are based on real people including:

  • Troy Tempest was modeled on the facial features of American actor James Garner.
  • Marina was modeled on Brigitte Bardot.
  • Atlanta Shore was modeled on Lois Maxwell.
  • Titan was based on a young Laurence Olivier.
  • Surface Agent X-2-Zero is modeled on Claude Rains but his voice is imitative of Peter Lorre.
Gerry Anderson said that he did not explicitly instruct the sculptors to base Troy on Garner; instead, he named him simply to help them visualize the character, as he could see that they were struggling with his original brief (which merely called for Troy to be square-jawed and heroic-looking).
