A SCABBARD FOR THE SWORD?

WHICH ANDERSON TV SHOW WOULD PROJECT SWORD HAVE MOST EASILY SLOTTED INTO AND WHY?

1. THUNDERBIRDS?
2. CAPTAIN SCARLET?
3. SPACE 1999?
4. UFO?
5. OTHER?
6. NONE

I don't think it would fit comfortably in any of them. But to avoid being a party pooper, let's try fitting it into ... say ... UFO ...

Somewhere on the border between Yorkshire and Lancashire is a toy-factory. Among other fantastical toys, it produces the Project S.W.O.R.D. range. All these, including the Moonbase set, are on display in a large, brightly lit showroom.

But of course, all this is a front. In reality, this factory-marketing company is t'Northern branch of S.H.A.D.O. and beneath the injection-moulding machines lies a labyrinthine complex dedicated to protecting Earth from invading aliens.

The space toys serve both to persuade the populace that alien invasion is a kids-game, and as a source of recruitment from those children who are inspired by the toys to dream of higher things.

No .... I'm not convinced either. (laughs)

Project SWORD would have made a great disaster movie like When Worlds Collide or They should have used it in Thunderbird 6 to give that film some much needed pazazz instead of that silly biplane at the end!

I was thinking Fireball XL5, myself. That show seems to fit best with Project SWORD's themes of space exploration and adventure.
