"The Inquisition" is the 32nd and final episode of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, a British 1960s Supermarionation television series co-created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Written by Tony Barwick and directed by Ken Turner, it was first broadcast on 12 May 1968 on ATV London. In this clip show episode, Captain Blue is drugged and reportedly disappears for three months; regaining consciousness on Cloudbase in front of a Spectrum Intelligence agent, he is ordered to prove his identity by demonstrating his knowledge of classified information.
Extensive use of flashback footage has resulted in some critics describing "The Inquisition" as "unusual" or "cheap". The series finale, which ends inconclusively with regard to the hostilities between Earth and the Mysterons, is generally considered a disappointment.
