From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Captain Grey (real name Bradley Holden) is one of the characters in the 1960s Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. He is a senior officer of the Spectrum organisation, but seldom leaves Cloudbase.

Despite his relatively small part, Captain Grey's character has featured in other Gerry Anderson, including Joe 90, Stingray, Thunderbirds, and The Secret Service. In Stingray, Grey was preceding commander of Stingray. However, when in different roles, he is unique in that he maintained the name Bradley Holden.

[edit] Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet

In the CGI series Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet, Captain Grey is cast as a new character, who doesn’t even share the same name or background as the original. All that is known about him is that Ian Taggart was born in Scotland and he is seen playing the bagpipes at Captain Black’s funeral. However, he is given a more prominent role in some episodes than his Supermarionation counterpart.
