Crater 101 is the 21st produced, and the 18th broadcast, episode of the British television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.

Plot

Return to the Moon: Captain Scarlet, Captain Blue and Lieutenant Green volunteer for a dangerous mission - to gain access to the Mysteron complex they previously discovered at Crater 101 (in the episode Lunarville 7), and remove its power source before the area is destroyed by a low-yield atomic bomb.

Unknown to the Spectrum trio, however, the driver delivering the warhead has been killed and retro-metabolised into a Mysteron agent - and he's set the bomb to detonate the complex while the agents are still inside it!
