Production
A flashback to the death of the original Captain Scarlet and Captain Brown in "The Mysterons" does not include the blue monochrome effect which was used to indicate the Mysteron presence in the first episode. It is in this episode that the "Mysteron rings" make their first appearance, trailing the reconstruction of DT19. According to character dialogue, the events of "Winged Assassin" are set on 10 July, supposedly along with those of "Treble Cross" and the end of "Flight to Atlantica". Writer Tony Barwick often inserted references to this particular date into his scripts since 10 July was his birthday. This episode is the first to feature Neil McCallum as a guest character. McCallum provides the voice of the Airport Controller and the DT19 Pilot. He went on to make three further uncredited contributions to the series: "Big Ben Strikes Again", "Codename Europa" and "Expo 2068". The incidental music for "Winged Assassin", a suite running to 4 minutes 38 seconds, was recorded by Barry Gray in a four-hour studio session on 3 April 1967 (1967-04-03).

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.”
—George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)
“The production of obscurity in Paris compares to the production of motor cars in Detroit in the great period of American industry.”
—Ernest Gellner (b. 1925)
“Constant revolutionizing of production ... distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
