I am *almost* certain that Conard is called Conrad in at least one episode. --Simon Cursitor 30 June 2005 10:32 (UTC)

The only members of Spectrum who were actually named in the original TV series were Captains Scarlet and Blue. The rest of the Spectrum member's names where made up in a publication years later. Also, the mars vehicle wasn't destroyed in the original TV series. Did this happen in the CG version? -Davidwil 15 August 16:54 (UTC)

It wasn't "years later" - it was in the contempoaneous spin-off material. (In particular the annuals.) And remember that spin-off comics were closely tied to the series - some appearing before the series. (e.g. Angels in Lady Penelope). Certainly Black is mentioned as Conrad Turner in TV21 October 1968 - http://www.technodelic.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Upload03/Scarlet02.htm -- Beardo 06:23, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't it ironic that Lord Black, also called Conrad, the ex Canadian newspaper proprietor, is now facing jail for heinous crimes, what's in a name? Though his crimes seem to be from pure greed, whereas even Captain Black never stoops that low - he may enjoy torture or willful destruction but it's always for a morally higher purpose, in the pursuit of Mysteron interests!
