CaptainThunderWho

The Incorporated Television Company (ITC) produced some of the most groundbreaking and iconic television programs ever made. From gritty crime and espionages, exotic continental escapades, comedy misadventures, swashbucklers, charismatic philanthropists, outlandish alien adventure, life-saving SUPERMARIONATION heroics, to mind-boggling thrillers. 

It was Sir Lew Grade's incredible company that distributed many successful cult programs such as Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, Space: 1999, UFO, Stingray, Joe 90, The Prisoner, The Saint, The Persuaders, Danger Man, Gideon's Way, The Muppet Show. Julie On Sesame Street, The Champions, Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), The Baron, Man In A Suitcase, and many other cult series.

Here, Century 22 Productions delves into the legends of these productions and their massive revival of interest in the early 2000s. Thanks to Carlton (who to all intents and purposes were ITV), these cult classics were launched into the new millennium in a new digitally remastered format that we are privileged to enjoy today. Some of these items are now highly praised and sought-after by collectors today. 

Take a trip down memory lane, and venture into the range of Carlton Video and to some of the programs which are regarded as some of the greatest television series ever made. A CaptainThunderWho Century 22 Production.All Rights Reserved

Stingray: We Are About To Launch Stingray! by CaptainThunderWho

Stand By For Action as Century 22 uncovers the production behind Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Stingray, one of classic television's best-loved series.

Massively successful in its 1960s merchandising, the series has enjoyed repeat exposure over the years to maintain the series' cult status. Now, as Stingray celebrates its 60th Anniversary, Century 22 investigates into the making of this iconic series, produced by AP Films between 1963-1964.

There will be something for every aficionado in this publication. P.W.O.R! A CaptainThunderWho Century 22 Production.

My Life In Ruins by writeon27

Passport? Check. A book of maps of every country in the world? Check. Backpack and small suitcase that contains everything I possess? Check. The world best, international traveling, treasure hunting dad and the most awesome stepmom who is more like my best friend? Check. And new, totally gorgeous English intern of my father's who's tagging along on our next adventure? Double check. Call me, Callie Landon, nerdy and I'd have to totally agree. I mean, how could I not be nerdy when I graduated high school at thirteen and double majored in college and got my bachelor's in both history and international studies by sixteen? Again, just call me nerdy. But I loved my life of travel. I got to see the world with my dad and stepmom, searching for treasure that was thought to be lost for hundreds of years...until we found it, of course. And now we were going on an expedition to find one of the most sought after treasures: the hidden treasure of the infamous pirate Blackbeard. With the three of us, plus Max Knight, my dad's new intern, we were sure we would be able to find it with the help of some clues along the way. But then there are always those other people who just happen to think that they can find it before you and are willing to do anything to stop you. Oh, that's always fun. But then again, it's always fun in the world of treasure hunting. (Book 1 in the My Life Series)

The Earth's representative force for space travel is the World Space Patrol, an advanced complex based in the Pacific, which possesses a mighty fleet of rocket ships titled the Fireballs. The pride and glory of the space organisation's crafts is the Fireball XL5. With its renowned crew of space explorers, Fireball XL5 patrols Sector 25 of the galaxy to discover new, uncharted planets and life forms, as well as keeping peace from the vastly different alien races across the galaxy... Aboard the crew of the Fireball XL5, we have Colonel Steve Zodiac, the incredibly brave and handsome hero of the day. Dr. Venus, the ship's doctor of space medicine, secretly shares a love life with Zodiac. They are both joined by the genius Professor Matthew Matic, who although may seem a little eccentric, is a brilliant scientist and vital member of the crew. It was he who invented his highly advanced creation Robert the Robot. Occasionally, the crew is joined by Dr. Venus' pet Lazoon, who enjoys making chaos and causing havoc on the ship... Reporting to their superiors at Space City, the disgruntled Commander Zero and the youthful Lieutenant Ninety, Steve Zodiac and his friends are about to engage in their most important assignment in their careers. As such, the entire fabric of the universe hangs in balance when tensions between alien races stretch across the galaxy, creating dangerous political instability and an impending space war about to break out.

** COMPLETED FOR NOW ** The existence of another dimension filled with monsters underneath the small town of Hawkins, Indiana, never came close to crossing the mind of Jeanette Bingham. And Jeanette was big fan of anything fantasy related and just anything that seemed out of the this world, but that was one of the last things she'd ever think of. That was until the summer of 1985 when she thought she was just having fun at her summer job scooping ice cream with a couple new friends of hers before discovering that Russian scientists are trying to reopen a door to another dimension called "The Upside Down". Not to mention finding out about a girl with super powers. Now it's the start of spring break of 1986 and Jeanette stuck by the friends she made during the horrors of Starcourt Mall. People are still mentally recovering from the losses, while others are mentally fighting. The group being the only people who knows the truth of what happened, are doing their best to move on and have normal lives. Maybe what Jeanette needs is to fall in love with a DnD playing, rock obsessed, drug dealer named Eddie Munson... But maybe that's the last thing she needs. °•°•°•°•°•° 𝘿𝙄𝙎𝘾𝙇𝘼𝙄𝙈𝙀𝙍: I obviously do not own Stranger Things, all the credit for that goes to The Duffer Brothers and everyone else who worked to make this show happen. But what I do own is this book and any original characters, scenes and ideas that I add. Which means no one has the right (besides The Duffer Brothers) to copy or steal my book as a whole or any of the ideas. And if I find out you have, you be publicly called out, even if you delete your stolen book.
