Production
Sections of the Lunarville 6 model were constructed from recycled elements: during the sequence in which the Mysteron reconstruction of Frazer departs the base in the Lunar Tank, reused model parts include the Frost Line Command Centre dome structures from "Avalanche" and the Mini-Sat 5 space probe from "Shadow of Fear". A reference to 10 July 2058 (2058-07-10) in connection with the character of Nolan is one of a number of instances when a date of "July 10" is heard in Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons — writer Tony Barwick was fond of using this date since it was his birthday.
As with all other episode names for Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, the title "Crater 101" was rendered in the Microgramma font, but with the letter "I" conveying the "1"s in the number "101" — due to a belief that Microgramma "1"s are not easily distinguishable from "7"s, the change was made to ensure that the name of the episode was clear to the viewing audience.

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 growing of food and the growing of children are both vital to the family’s survival.... Who would dare make the judgment that holding your youngest baby on your lap is less important than weeding a few more yards in the maize field? Yet this is the judgment our society makes constantly. Production of autos, canned soup, advertising copy is important. Housework—cleaning, feeding, and caring—is unimportant.”
—Debbie Taylor (20th century)
“Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities, so the social process requires standardization of man, and this standardization is called equality.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
