Who was your favourite character in Stingray?

[hopebgood]

"Anything can happen in the next half hour!"    That STILL sounds exciting!

[lordred]

62 yrs of age and I still get goose bumps watching this.

The use of the Bongo drums for the alert alarm was a great out of the box idea. Plus the lowering of the buildings underground in time of danger was awesome! The thing that made these old shows great, was they took them serious. I loved them back in the day and still do!

Probably one of the most epic intro themes ever. Barry Gray really knew how to capture the moment and also our attention

[mickydub]

As a kid in the 60"s when i first saw the intro to Stingray it blew me away . When i heard " Anything can happen in the next half hour " and then saw jets flying, Buildings sinking ( that really got me ) and that giant fish chasing Stinray, .... I was ready for anything " LOVED IT "

[PappyGunn]

I grew up on this stuff. I just realized it was made in color. I watched it on a black and white tv.

I just love how this title sequence tells you literally EVERYTHING you need to know about the show in just 80 seconds. They really don't make 'em like this any more.

I'm 67, and the music from the Andersons stories was the entry point of profound adventure. I was 10 years old in that era, and I loved every minute of it.

This show, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlett...now we're talking nostalgia folks!

Who’s over 60 in 2024 that still watches the Best Children’s Shows ever.

I sat with my dad and we watched the first episode of Stingray together. I cant remember fir sure whether it was a Monday or Tuesday evening. I was 5 years old, and I remember it vividly. My dad was proper excited and told my mum it was pretty good, he was probably 25 years old. Never forget it. We also watched the moon landing together. Wonderful times.

[CarlosChristian-nt]

I'm 63 years old, and I remember watching this classic TV series !

[zardoz]

I know I am stating the bleedin' obvious, but Gerry Anderson was a genius!!

Hands down, THE MOST EXCITING opening credits of any Gerry Anderson show! I stil get a thrill watching it, even now.

[AidanEyewitness]

The music by Barry Gray is sensational - maybe it could be considered a character, as it's always present and adds so much to the atmosphere. I never appreciated as a child just how much of a buzz and a feeling of excitement and mayhem is conjured up by the drums, the brass, the harmony vocals singing 'Stingray, Stingray! da da da dat da dat' And it's great how it adopts a more relaxed, triumphant pace at the end to round things off. Musical and supermarionatory genius combined!

[lanceharding]

Only a kid growing up in the 1960’s can know just how exciting this opening was. Even now, as soon as I hear, “STAND BY FOR ACTION!” followed by those incredible drum beats and brass, a thousand sparks start going off in my head. The whole sequence is just a masterpiece of images, music and editing.

And I swear that final chorus of “STING RAY!” still sends me blasting through the roof...
