"White as Snow" is the sixth episode of the Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. It was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on 3 November 1967 on ATV Midlands, was written by Peter Curran and David Williams and directed by Robert Lynn.
In this episode, announcing that they intend to kill Colonel White, the Mysterons almost succeed in crashing a reconstructed satellite into Cloudbase. They plan a second assassination attempt when the colonel goes into hiding on board a navy submarine.
Communications satellite TVR-17 burns up and explodes after Captain Black infiltrates ground control and programs the satellite into a premature re-entry. Reconstructing the satellite and its crew, the Mysterons lock TVR-17 onto a collision course with Cloudbase, but the spacecraft is destroyed by Symphony Angel. When a Mysteron threat to kill Colonel White is received, White realises that the satellite was in fact targeting him personally, and decides to leave Cloudbase for the safety of other Spectrum personnel. He puts Captain Blue in charge of the base after Captain Scarlet refuses the role, angry that TVR-17 was destroyed when White had no definite proof that it was a Mysteron reconstruction. However, when the wreckage of the original satellite is discovered, Scarlet regrets his attitude. He asks Lieutenant Green if he knows White's destination, but Green has orders to remain silent.
