Now that clip bears out what I have been saying to a few people on Utube about Capt Scarlet - it contained violence which would not be allowed today and was bloody frightening for kids when I watched it back in 1968-69! There is another ep. which shows a car mechanic being crushed in the car he is working on against a ceiling when Capt Black raises the ramp its on. You would have a job getting a 15 cert for a film with that in today...
Not engaged long enough to have strangled him. His neck was quickly broken. OMG, this is violent in the most EFFECTIVE way -- b/c it suggests violence (and shows its aftermath), but doesn't (need to) show it in progress. A classic dramatic technique from films. Good show. See, aguard MUST always be on his toes -- no lolling on t'job, mate, she'll slit you up a treat!
I guess they were get a G rating was that it wasn't real because these are marionettes and not humans. Therefore, not supposed to be given a PG or PG-13 rating. Of course, it does one a pause if the operator doing that lady marionette's killing action and female hand model/actress enjoyed it(i.e. thinking of someone that annoyed so much.).

The G rating means "Includes Neck Groping that may be unsuitible for young children".

I thought at first it was a "Strangle", but now I'm pretty sure she snapped his neck... But yes, she was a real doll!!! :)

But did she strangle or crush his head, the end result was a bit unclear.
One thing for sure she was a babe.... a real doll!
