Less than a year after the debut of the "New Captain Scarlet" TV show in the UK, the official website has gone away. Apparently, as the show is no longer on in the UK, the site no longer needs to exist. I think the logic is a bit flawed, as there is still  significant amount of merchandising available in the UK for the Christmas season. 

This also signals that there is no chance of additional episodes, plus the likelihood of the show airing outside of the UK is also diminished. A lot of effort and money went into the show, but it seems that once it was delivered, it did not get the level of attention it deserved. I saw practically no coverage in the TV Zone/Starburst magazines, but plenty of coverage of Dr Who. If I was an investor, I would not be happy. What an ignoble end to a great show that died on the vine. I guess the comic is next.
