Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons - Captain Ochre puppet head, screen used in the classic 1967 series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons made by the Century 21 productions company of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, John Read and Reg Hill. These supermarionation puppets housed an internal mechanism which enabled mouth movements that could be synchronised with dialogue. The lower lips are hinged and held shut by a spring allowing movement in order for the puppet to talk. The rear of the heads are detachable to gain access to the internal mechanisms and are held in place by a magnet, the joints being covered by the hair. The internal mechanisms could be used to control the eye movement of the puppet. Provenance: From the Julian Bell Collection. All lots will be supplied with Certificate of Authenticity signed by Ewbank's Auctioneers. No copyright is assigned with this item.
