Stingray: Season 1 Episode 1 - Stingray | Full Episode 

So many decades later and the attention to detail and ingenuity of this show is still very impressive. Gerry Anderson was a mad genius.

I am over 50 and I still find this as cool as when I was a kid!

i wish there was film footage of the recording session for this, those drums and brass section , what an intro, fantastic!

I've never seen Stingray before yet somehow just watching this brings some nostalgia from nonexistent memories

To say that pulled at a few strings of mine! I have not seen this show since it finished! I am now in my early sixties! It was delightful to watch it and see it all in hd and the quality was just as fantastic when it first came out all those years ago! My parents have all passed on and my mum passed away in 2019 and 95 and we always used to say! anything can happen in t next half hour! Thank you to all involved and to those that have passed! R.I.P and thank you too! 😥

I saw Stingray in the spring of 1983, while at boarding school in England, 19 years after it was first broadcast-- it's far ahead of its time, and still holds up well today. Special thanks to Shout! Factory for its availability-- and to the late Gerry Anderson for making this series possible. 🐟🐟🐟🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

All the Gerry Anderson series make me feel giddy and safe as my 5-year-old self was when I first encountered them. Much needed atm. Thanks Shout Factory!

Was not born back then but even I can appreciate the entertainment of a good Puppet show. My dad introduced me to Thunderbirds are Go.

This is the best thing put on the internet today.

Even though this is 56 years old the gadgets and equipment still look cool.

One of the very best TV themes EVER! Thank you Barry Gray! Just as exciting as JONNY QUEST!

Thank you very very much Gary & Sylvia Anderson and crew /. That is all , Carry on. /. Underway , shift colors /.

The eyebrows are always the star of the show. Letting you know who's good or bad.

So nice to see these episodes so well preserved. They are magic.

It must have been a modelmaker's wet dream to work for Gerry Anderson back in the day, not to mention puppeteers. A bit corny, but I loved every minute of it. Discovered this series after Thunderbirds.

Absolutely compelling opening: "Anything is bound to happen within the next half--hour!" Classic Anderson! For those kids who only know CGI effects: you don't know what you're missing! I remember seeing these marionette series in England in the 1970s--80s. They still hold up well, even today. 😸😸😸🚤🚤🚤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Now I realize why I have been saying “Anything can happen in the next half hour” since I was a kid.

This show is more camp than a row of tents Love it

No sweet memories just because I didn't even hear about this masterpiece! And now I am really happy to watch it for the first time - such a powerful emotion! Thank you again!

People who grew up with modern CGI based effects have no idea how incredible Gerry Anderson series were to kids in the 60's.

This takes me back. This was on the Sci-Fi Channel Cartoon Quest block. They would run these episodes then run Captain Scarlet. Even now there is something charming about this marionette style of production. The creativity that came out of adapting to the puppets made for some interesting cinematography. Like Commander Shore in his "Murph-mobile." But on top of all that I find I really love the architectural design of the rooms and buildings of WASP HQ. There was just something undeniably likable about this 1960s future style. Looks like a world I would want to live in.

I'd forgotten that Commander Shore just jumps immediately to "nuke the ocean, it's the only way to be sure". XD

OMG.....Found this by mistake. I was about 8 when I used to watch this. We only had a black n white TV. Nice to see in colour. It's only now that I realise all the details that the sets had. Truly amazing. Such good memories

Stingray was definitely the coolest sub, and those evil fish-head villains were really scary when I was like, five years old.

Never seen this before. The modelling, the marionette work, the 60's aesthetic. Superb.

Wow....this brings back memories! This used 2 come on at dinner time when I was growing up and we'd watch it as a family. Loved the name....Capt Troy Tempest....so romantic. Fell in love with the name Marina too.

The World Aquanaut Security Patrol, oh yeah. I remember watching this live. 67 today. Stingray and Fireball XL5 were my favourite

Stingray takes me back to the very early days of New Zealand TV in the early 60's when we only had one channel...& in B&W, as small kids we watched Stingray on the NZBC's (New Zealand Broadcasting company) WNTV1.

Pure gold. I’m 60 and loved this time of television. Ultra man, Gumby, original Star Trek. Shows today suck. Zero imagination.

Atlanta Shore’s voice is so calm and soothing. And she’s so beautiful as well. Marina doesn’t hold a candle to her!

I love it. Who would have thought you could film a TV show in your fish tank, Kudos! Great sets and building models too.

Bongo drums over loudspeakers for emergency alerts is an idea whose time has come.

I loved this show, one of my friends actually had a Stingray toy. I was green with envy.

I love the end credit song, even nearly 40 years ago I heard it, it's still nice.

I love the music (Aqua Marina theme) at the end.

Its really great to watch these old episodes it has fond memories of my childhood. Isn't it interesting though that Stingray intoduces the idea of a love triangle from the start !

Che spettacolo ..... i movimenti , gli effetti le musiche .... e poi , come si fa a non innamorarsi di Marina ? Fantastico

The music alone rules everything. ❤

Haha, the theme song is still one that sticks in my head sometimes. All these Gerry Anderson productions were the ultimate in sophisticated entertainment to a 6 year old!

Aqui no Brazil estreou em 1965 quando acabou a série nacional kid .eu me lembro eu tinha 13 anos saudades eternas .

If you grew up in the UK of the late 60s/early 70s this was freaking high tech!

This is a masterpiece!! And, if you’re a fan of anime, you can totally see that Hideaki Anno took a lot lot LOT of inspiration from Gerry and Sylvia Anderson when he made Neon Genesis Evangelion!

Troy Tempest is based on James Garner & Marina is based on a cross between Brigitte Bardot & Ursula Andress.

Blowing up all those miniatures in the Anderson’s studios must have been a blast!!!

why is this a million times more awesome than anything on TV today?

I'm old enough to remember these, and I love them. My question for anyone reading this: Did you happen to watch Team America World Police?

I was just 5 or 6 when this ran on TV and the underwater bad fish-guys freaked me out.

Finally a full episode. A happy occasion. More....more....

I would watch this as a child. Brings back good memories.

I’M FROM MALAYSIA AND I DEFINITELY REMEMBER WATCHING THIS AS A KID. IT WAS FUN BUT IT SPOOKED ME OUT. THESE MARIONETTES ARE SCARY 😂

Oh man....we used to all huddle around our neighbours tv to watch this as well as Captain Scarlet, Joe 90 and TheThunderbirds. 20 kids jammed into a small.lounge room.

I clicked this thinking it was a recent parody of '60s TV shows and thought"They nailed it!"lol

Really loved this as a kid.Watched in the aftermnoon after school.

So many shows like this in the 60's so much fun

Good acting . Better than the garbage spewed forth from Hollywood .

Thanks for posting. This stirred up a lot of good memories. I used to watch this and Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet when I was a kid and the future seemed so exciting - not the sh*t show it turned into.

Love this show!!! It's on Tubi also. Or it was as of a couple months ago. Must say....As someone born post 1980, I feel supremely cheated not to have been able to live through the 1950s-60s. It seemed like such an optimistic and innovative period of time. Funny how many others my age (mid/late 30s) are also feeling this same way....nostalgic for a period of time during which none of us were even alive! So thankful that shows like Stingray were preserved so the old souls like myself can enjoy a glimpse of what the great spirit and innovative minds of that time period were able to create. In this case?? Marionettes combined with animatronics! Win-win!!! 👍👍

1st time seeing Stingray and I am child of the sixties. So bad it's good. What a joy to watch this. Thanks for posting this :)

When your antagonist sounds like Peter Lorre, you know that evil abounds.

Special Agent X20 is, hands down, the sexiest man to ever appear on television.

This is one of the best things for its time, still great!

Thank you for uploading these videos they are the best it brings me back to my childhood.

Such a pleasant surprise. Beautiful, old-school filmmaking!

Omg this brings back great memories. I grew up with this. In black and white. ❤

Imagine the sound of bongo's playing like that everytime you got into your car, would make going to work like a boy's own adventure!!

...and, yes, "P.W.O.R." means Proceeding With Orders Received, Marina's resemblance to Ursula Andress is intentional, Atlanta is voiced by none other than Lois "Miss Moneypenny" Maxwell, and both Phones and Surface Agent X-20 are voiced by Robert Easton, who likely landed the gig by being challenged to do his Peter Lorre impression in front of...Peter Lorre! Hey, these Supermarionation shows were not just fun at first viewing but paid attention to detail, and any kid with an interest in miniature modeling just fell for 'em all. Not to mention Stingray was the first in color.

I don't remember Stingray, but I do remember Fireball XL-5 (the timeless classic). It was great being a kid in the 60's!

Love Agent X20's Peter Lorre voice LOL

This is great. Watching these old shows brings back memories.

I used to love these type of shows

I always loved Stingray.

never knew there were other shows like this besides Thunderbirds. Very very similar

Where has this been all my life. Finally a worthy go-to! Subscribed🖖

The drums and trumpets just sweet

This is why I got into Model Trains layout builds.

This is killer! I love how it is for children and he's got whiskey on the table at 3:30.

First time I’ve seen this since the Sixties (and probably the first time in color)! I remember the drive looked much more impressive then - now it appears to be a bathtub knob😅. Thanks for posting these episodes.

I absolutely loved this show when I was a little kid

I’ve never seen this first episode before. Thanks so much for posting.

Whoever wrote the lyrics to the opening theme is a true wordsmith.

Stingray is a British children's science-fiction television series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson and produced by AP Films (APF) for ITC Entertainment. Filmed in 1963 using a combination of electronic marionette puppetry and scale model special effects, it was APF's sixth puppet series and the third to be produced under the banner of "Supermarionation". It premiered in October 1964 and ran for 39 half-hour episodes. Set in the 2060s, the series follows the exploits of the World Aquanaut Security Patrol (WASP), an organization responsible for policing the Earth's oceans. The WASP's flagship is Stingray, a combat submarine crewed by Captain Troy Tempest, navigator Lieutenant "Phones" and Marina, a mute young woman from under the sea. Stingray's adventures bring it into contact with various underwater civilization's, some friendly and others hostile, as well as strange natural phenomena. In preparation for the series, APF acquired new, larger studios that it would continue to occupy for the remainder of the 1960s. Filmed at a cost of approximately £1 million,[3] Stingray was the first British TV series to be made entirely in colour,[4][5] a move intended to increase its appeal to the lucrative American market.[6][7][8] The underwater sequences were filmed "dry" by shooting the sets through thin aquaria, while surface shots were filmed on water tanks incorporating lowered back walls to create artificial horizons. Stingray was the first Supermarionation series whose puppet characters had interchangeable heads showing a range of facial expressions. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stingray_(1964_TV_series)

There I am, 11 years old and watching this in Black & White. Oh man the memories these shows bring back.

Never even heard of it. It looks funny but stylish at the same time. And the music is good.

"What is that?" "A Fish Sir!" "I know that you dunderhead!"

Never seen this and omg the craftsmanship and work put into it is insane.

Todas éstas producciones son maravillosas y la música espectacular , se nota que todos amaban lo que hacían .

Ohhhh recuerdo de cuando era muy pequeño, me encantaba esta serie.

The closing songs on these Gerry Anderson series are so great!

1964 I was 7 yrs old and Saw This WGN 9 and Jonny Quest ABC 7.

Reminds me of "Captain Scarlet". Loved that show!

Lovely to see these again

This is an Art , on a level ALL its Own !!! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍

OMG used to love this as a kid in the late 60's/70's

Nothing but us old timers commenting here.

They were able to get so much tension out of a staring contest with a fish

Use to watch this years ago my favorite show would be running late for work to catch episodes

Greatest. Show. Ever.

The similarities to UFO are so huge. Same great music score, Stingray = Skydiver, 3 interceptors, the underground HQ (well, here it is above and underground), …

Thanks for posting this. I never knew Team America world police got their aesthetics from this series!

I do have to say I’ve never seen this. It’s great
