rdf:langString "Titan Goes Pop" is an episode of Stingray, a British Supermarionation television series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson and filmed by their production company AP Films. Written by Dennis Spooner and directed by Alan Pattillo, it was the 29th episode of the series to be produced and was first broadcast on 6 December 1964 on ATV London. The series follows the missions of the World Aquanaut Security Patrol (WASP), an organisation responsible for policing the Earth's oceans in the mid-2060s. Headquartered at the self-contained city of Marineville on the West Coast of North America, the WASP operates a fleet of vessels led by Stingray: a combat submarine crewed by Captain Troy Tempest, Lieutenant "Phones" and Marina, a mute young woman from under the sea. Stingray's adventures bring it into contact with undersea civilisations – some friendly, others hostile – as well as mysterious natural phenomena. The WASP's most powerful enemy is King Titan, ruler of the ocean floor city of Titanica. In "Titan Goes Pop", Titan's agent X-2-Zero kidnaps a pop singer who is visiting Marineville. The episode has been positively received by commentators, who note its humour and view the premise as a parody of 1960s Beatlemania and broader pop culture. It has been called a "key episode" and a "highlight" of Stingray. The episode was included in the limited-edition Filmed in Supermarionation Blu-ray box set released in 2015.
