Spectre X

Anyone ever seen this show? It was made by Gerry Anderson, the same guy that made the Thunderbirds etc.
It was about this covert government operation called Spectrum fighting against sneaky aliens, who were never seen, except for two glowing white beams of light that seemed to pop up from time to time. They were able to create exact copies of things and do stuff like telekinesis and mind-controll etc.
Now, the good guys, Spectrum, were fighting them and their top agent was Captain Scarlet. All of their operatives are colour coded, and Scarlet was their main man.
The aliens called the Mysterons decided to wipe out the human race they had to capture Spectrum's top agents, i.e. Scarlet and Captain Black. They succeeded to turn Captain Black into some kind of walking corpse, but they failed with Scarlet, who then became indestructable.
It was a pretty cool show. The intro sequence was always cool (Scarlet getting shot with heavy-duty machineguns, but just taking the bullets without flinching and killing the shooter with one shot.)
