* ExecutiveMeddling:
** A positive example when Lew Grade ordered the series be made with hour long episodes. This required the series to delve into more sophisticated plot and characters to make up for the time, which made the series a cult classic. 
** Sadly, a negative example from Lew Grade, and an unintentional one at that: The show was axed from airwaves after Grade's rather unsuccessful trip to America, where all three major networks were bidding on the show. Thanks in part to Grade's playing each network off the other and trying to raise the price, when one network dropped out, [[FollowTheLeader the others followed suit]], and Grade felt that without American involvement the show was too expensive to produce.
** Further series were denied after TheMovie (actually ''two'' movies) bombed, although this still had [[CaptainScarletAndTheMysterons some positive effects]].
** ITV holds the rights to the series and has refused to return them to Gerry Anderson or allowing him to either remake or continue the series ala ''Captain Scarlet''. Thankfully as of early 2011, that appears to have been resolved to allow Anderson to proceed. Alas, AuthorExistenceFailure now makes this unlikely unless some dedicated fan(s) in the industry pick it up.
* FakeAmerican: All voice actors (save Virgil's, who quit after season one) were either British, Australian or Canadian, while most of the main cast was (implied to be) American.
