Stinray: Plant of Doom part 2

Marina, Troy and Phones enter the palace room.



They have a sumptious dinner.


Various fruits and lobsters



Marina enjoys the aroma of the plant, then replaces the cover.



Troy invites Marina to come to Marineville, but understand if she chooses to remain behind.



The Stingray is underway when Marina swims up to them (carrying that plant). "Open the starboard airlock, Phones," Troy says happily.



Back at Marineville, Troy tells what happened. Atlanta is concerned that Marina may be a spy, still working for King Titan.



Marina appears, and gives Atlanta the flower as a gift.



Atlanta plays the piano in her room. The flower begins to give off its aroma.



Atlanta faints.



Troy sees her through the window, unconscious. He breaks in and rescues her.



Everyone think Marina did it deliberately, except Troy.





The piano, and flower, have been moved into the command room, where Marina sees it.



Marina begins to play the piano. Very badly.



From their vantage point, Phones, Troy, Commander Shore and Atlanta watch.



Atlanta wants to call off the experiment, as she knows what Marina is oging through. But Shore wants to be sure.



Marina faints, and so they know that she knew nothing of the deadly flower. Atlanta promises to teach her how to play the piano, and gives her a lesson then and there.

Ray Barrett died on September 8, 2009

Here's an interview with Barrett at YouTube, done by Movie Memorabilila




Australian actor Ray Barrett, the voice of the Hood and many other characters from Thunderbirds and Stingray died at the age of 82 from a brain haemorrhage in Queensland.

Having made a name for himself in radio soap operas in the 1950s, Barrett continued to work right up until his death, most recently appearing in director Baz Luhrman's historical drama Australia, in which he played the father of Nicole Kidman's character.

Barrett's acting career was long, distinguished and punctuated with awards, including two AFI Awards for best actor in 1982 (Goodbye Paradise) and 1995 (Hotel Sorrento). But it was his voice roles as the iconic villain 'the Hood', Thunderbird 5 operator John Tracy, Titan and Commander Shore that many fans will always remember him for. Like several of his fellow actors in Thunderbirds and Stingray, Barrett's ability to play both American and British characters with ease made him a highly versatile performer, and throughout the 60s he made guest appearances in numerous other 'cult' shows, including Dr Who, Z Cars, The Saint and Dixon of Dock Green.
