Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s underwater classic Stingray is returning to Talking Pictures TV from Saturday 8th December at 08:25.

The acclaimed British children’s science fiction series about a futuristic submarine patrol that’s responsible for policing the Earth’s oceans, was filmed in 1963 using a combination of marionette puppetry and scale model special effects.

Stingray joins Talking Pictures TV’s current screenings of Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons, demonstrating the channel’s proud and continued support of classic TV, and to bring these series to a new audience! How long until Joe 90 or The Secret Service join TPTV’s schedule? Contact TPTV’s co-founder Noel Cronin BEM to let him know you want to see them on TV again (you can remind him that it would be The Secret Service‘s UK premiere in most regions, having only been screened by ATV, Granada and Southern previously)!

Talking Pictures TV is available in the UK on Freeview/Youview 82, Freesat 306, Sky channel 328 and Virgin 445, with a streaming service at www.tptvencore.co.uk
