What? The easter egg or Rachel's mouth? Incidentally, Rachel, did you ever receive a reply from Ben Stevens? I saw him last week but forgot to ask him. If he hasn't I'll kick him next time I see him...

I was infact referring to the Groundhawk thingy. It's not the yellow tracked space-buggy with red lasers, that's launched out of the back of Spacehawk to rescue Ninestein from Zelda's base in one episode. is it?It's probably another vehicle entirely but hey...I have a sneaky feeling that it was hijacked from a Thunderbirds episode as well.

Another Sporilla image for you - Sue Moore with the Sporilla and what I believe to be the maquette of Zelda... which had a rather disturbing unusual feature...But that's a surprise

I haven't had a reply from Ben Stevens (is Ben or Robbie his middle name?) I wasn't necessarily expecting one, but of course it would be delightful if he did send one. Thanks for enquiring!

However, since then he has returned to Robbie and that's how he'll be billed for the new Captain Scarlet.Next time to I talk to him I'll remind him about the letter...Though I hope, if plans work out well, there may be a chance to meet the Terrahawks cast soon... Can't say anymore than that until I know any details...

That sounds well exciting! If a meeting was held in London, on a weekend, I could get there.

And trawling through the extras tape today I noticed the Sporilla turns up for a brief moment in Gerryhawks
