sentences:  When Tony Barwick wrote "Dangerous Rendezvous" and "Traitor", filming on "Captain Scarlet" was several weeks behind schedule.To remedy this, Barwick included a flashback to the first episode, "The Mysterons", in each script to reduce the amount of new footage that would need to be filmed, enabling both episodes to be shot in 15 days instead of 20.Although the script for "Dangerous Rendezvous" allowed for approximately four minutes of recycled footage, the flashback in the finished episode – in which Colonel White recalls humanity's disastrous first contact with the Mysterons – runs for approximately two minutes.
