"It's Mercury-manned, and everyone cries, 'it's the marvel of the age'."
Supercar is a 1960's British children's TV show made in Supermarionation.
Tropes of the show:[]
- Absent-Minded Professor: Dr. Horatio Beaker, and to some extent Professor Popkiss.
- Cassandra Truth: In "Transatlantic Cable", when Jimmy sees a light in a sunken submarine, none of the adults believe him. As it turns out, criminals were using it to tap into the cable.
- Cool Car/Plane/Boat: Supercar.
- Curious as a Monkey: Jimmy's pet monkey, Mitch.
- Kid Hero: Jimmy, both in a dream of his, and a dream of a French girl wanting to be rescued by him in Supercar (She reads the comics).
- Non-Human Sidekick: Jimmy's pet monkey, Mitch.
- Small Annoying Creature: Mitch the Monkey.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Dr. Beaker's cousin, Felicity Farnsworth, looks like Beaker in drag.
