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:
“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)
“From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
—Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
“The repossession by women of our bodies will bring far more essential change to human society than the seizing of the means of production by workers.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
