Stingray Aquarium

Stingray was a children’s TV series made by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson in the 1960s. Set in the future, it featured a combination of marionette puppets and scale model affects, it also attracted a large adult audience.

“The series follows the exploits of the World Aquanaut Security Patrol (WASP), an organisation responsible for policing the Earth's oceans. The WASP's flagship is Stingray, a combat submarine crewed by Captain Troy Tempest, navigator Lieutenant "Phones" and Marina, a mute young woman from under the sea. Stingray's adventures bring it into contact with various underwater civilisations, some friendly and others hostile, as well as strange natural phenomena.” (wikipedia)

There were 39 episodes made and if you’ve not seen any of them, you’re missing a real treat.

Stingray Aquarium takes the main characters of this splendid series and places life size animatronic versions of them in a large aquarium based themed park.
