I remember finding this horrific as a young kid! That flaming spark traveling up the handrail would have passed over his hand and maybe even whole body during the cutaway to Captain Scarlett! *shudder*
In all honesty- i think that it was just meant for a more mature audience than people today. I was raised on Stingray, Joe 90, Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet in the 90's- and it never had a bad effect on me 2bh [= If anything, it tought me well about Death! ['=
The first time I saw this I remember thinking that Scarlet was taking a massive risk, using high voltage electricity to kill a man, one wrong move and it could have quite easily killed him as well :)

I will create shows like this today. There needs to be this kind of real danger on television.

The amazing thing is how they could create suspense so well with the "supermarionettes" - the acting's better than in many modern live action shows.
