Captain Scarlet was a television series starring the character of the same name. Captain Scarlet featured a fictional aircraft carrier called Cloudbase, a fact which Colonel Ahmed reminded Osgood aboard Boat One, when she incorrectly stated that it came from Thunderbirds in response to the Twelfth Doctor, who referred to UNIT's aircraft carrier, Valiant, as "Cloudbase". The Twelfth Doctor noted to the two of them that he had met Sylvia Anderson. (TV: Death in Heaven)
