message: The analysis really isn't.  It's more a description with subjective comentary.  Could do with changing - possibly separating into two sections for description and analysis respectively.
:I agree. Although I have made minor additions to the Analysis section myself I think that it could do with a re-write. SuperMarioMan 21:32, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Most sources are agreed that Barry Gray wrote the theme music, as with all the other Supermarionation series. Curiously, however, the usually reliable The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction website lists Joe 90 as one of the theme tunes written by Ron Grainer in his entry. This may of course be a simple mistake, although one might argue that the Joe 90 opening theme has an indefinably "Graineresque" quality... is it possible, perhaps, that Grainer wrote or arranged the theme and allowed Gray to take the credit? Seems unlikely, but you never know - the Encyclopedia might just know something we don't! Lee M (talk) 22:26, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I suspect it's a mistake on their part as a result of seeing "Ron Grainer Orchestra" on his cover of the theme tune on A Touch Of Velvet - A Sting Of Brass. I note elsewhere on that page there was also a 1980 Tales of the Unexpected TV theme compilation where it appears alongside some of Grainer's well-known themes, so it would be easy to think all of those on the record were by him.
