When Gwen entered the hub, she found Ianto watching the television at Owen's workstation. There was no sign of anyone else.
"Where is everyone?" Asked Gwen.
"Owen's got the day off, Tosh is going to be late and Jack could be anywhere." Ianto replied without taking his eyes from the screen.
Gwen took a closer look at what he was watching. It seemed to be a computer generated cartoon.
"What's this?" She queried.
"New Captain Scarlet."
"New?" Came an American accent from the direction of the cogwheel door. "What happened to the old one?"
"They've updated it, Jack, and done it with CGI." Ianto told him. "It's fantastic."

Jack wandered over and watched a few minutes of the cartoon.
"This is cool." He acknowledged. "You know where Gerry Anderson got this inspiration for this don't you?"
"No" Gwen and Ianto said together.
"Well, think about it." He prompted. "Scarlet is a dashing, handsome captain who was killed by aliens. He's resurrected but finds he's indestructible. Remind you of anyone?"
Gwen gave him an incredulous look.
"Come off it Jack." She scoffed. "Are you telling us that you are, in fact, Captain Scarlet?"
"Of course. I used to know Gerry and Sylvia and for reasons I can't remember, I told them a lot about me."
"We believe you Jack, thousands wouldn't"
