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 development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
