- In a long and storied career, Leo Eaton spent only a few short years with Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's team of puppet and special effects experts, but his time there was formative. In this interview, he shares stories from the making of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, Joe 90, The Secret Service and UFO as well as thoughts on his experience with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and time in the orbit of renowned B-Movie maestro Ed Wood.

Did anyone else have TV21 magazine/comic delivered evey Thursday? I couldn't wait for it- it was jus wonderful. for a young boy who lived for sci fi and Thunderbirds -I was six or seven If i remember correctly.
Just found out Leo passed in 2022. so sad now. all these people who made my childhood fun are disappearing. Life is so short .Young Kids - just go and do what you want- enjoy your short time on this planet!
Yes it was the best thing ever
Wonderful interview with Leo Eaton. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Super interesting stories and the sense of what fun Leo had really comes across. As a kid of the 60s these shows were a massive part of my childhood and this 'behind the scenes' stuff is so fascinating.
I saw all the Captain Scarlets recently and when all the characters being shot, crushed in car lifts, set on fire etc, I really wondered if it was suitable for children to watch, but as a child myself, I loved it.
Great Documentary on Leo Eaton (director on Scarlet, Joe 90 and secrecy service and Assistant director on UFO.) Great talent
Wonderful interview - yes, Leo you *are* a legend 🏆🎖️ And while the camera work and special effects were top notch and have stood the test of time, let's not forget the music. Amazing themes and underscoring 😎😎😎
Thankyou for letting us in on that, very well done
Can We take time, to appreciated,all the efforts of team behind Gerry's Productions,?
It's truly amazing!
What a lovely chap!
Wonderful.
Great video. Leo sounded like a wonderful chap. He really came across like he loved his work. Sad that he passed recently. RIP
Cool to learn first hand what it was like for Leo working in-depth on the sets of these puppet classic shows. Thanks!
Omg. So cool. From my childhood. And lived in that neck of the woods all those years ago. Cookham, Maidenhead, Slough. So cool. DrZ🙏🏻
Loving these.
Learning so much.
Nice one 👍
Joe 90 was good captain scarlett and the mysterious great 😊
To use 60's / 70's parlance, Captain Scarlet was "dishy!" 👍😜❤️ ... Wonder if he'd be up for some, "no strings fun?" 🤣
I like Captain Black too! ... Everybody likes a bad boy!
Regarding UFO, I never understood the other planet between the moon and earth at the end credits.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
U.F.O. was U.K.'s answer to the Invaders. Space 1999 or Blake's 7 was the answer to Star Trek.
Alas, Joe90 or Secret I have never seen , nor Anderson's Space Cops. Captain Scarlet - saw a few episodes, but came at a time when I was not the right age for it. Too bad public libraries or CZcams doesn't carry them.
Talking Pictures (Channel 82), Saturday afternoon's at 3 o'clock.
@@Jaytee. No streaming or digital t.v.
Martin Landau was the best puppet.
I had completely forgotten about Secret Service until a few years ago when I began coming across Century 21 Slough docs on CZcams. I don’t know if it’s available on dvd but I’d love to revisit it.
