The Gerry Anderson news roundup; where does it come from? Who writes it? Why does it come?

This week’s edition of the Gerry Anderson Podcast launched on Sunday evening, and featured the second half of an interview with comics artist Nigel Parkinson! If you prefer to stick with traditional audio-only rather than our new and improved video format you can still catch it (and all other previous episodes) every week either through our website or via your podcast platform of choice.

This week’s episode of the Anderson Audio Adventures podcast is part 1 of Thunderbirds: Brains is Dead! We also highlighted five productions coming soon to the Podcast in this new article!

Also new this week over on the Gerry Anderson Randomiser Podcast (also available on all podcast platforms) Paul Foster was on trial in the UFO episode Court Martial!

This week’s big new merchandise launch is the latest model in our premium collectibles range – the UFO, now available to pre-order from the Official Gerry Anderson Store! This limited edition of 2004 units comes with presentation packaging, COA, a display stand – and it spins! (You’ll have to make the noise yourself though.) For this weekend only, save 20%!

Continuing our countdown of the most popular Stingray episodes, as voted by our social media followers, this week we took a look at #4 – Titan Goes Pop!

This week’s Thunderbirds Thursday article examined the remarkable character development of Brains , the phenomenal mind who made International Rescue so successful!

Celebrating birthdays this week were UFO actress Ayshea Brough (November 12th) and Space Precinct actors Rob Youngblood (November 13th) and Lou Hirsch (November 15th), while November 12th was also the 103rd anniversary of the 1921 birth of Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet voice artist (plus UFO guest) Paul Maxwell. Popular Anderson episodes that first aired in the UK this week in years past include Captain Scarlet‘s The Trap (November 10th 1967), Joe 90‘s King for a Day (November 10th 1968), Fireball XL5‘s Space Immigrants (November 11th 1962), Thunderbirds30 Minutes After Noon (November 11th 1965), TerrahawksZero’s Finest Hour (November 11th 1984) and Close Call (November 12th 1983), New Captain Scarlet‘s Shape Shifter (November 12th 2005), Space:1999‘s Guardian of Piri (November 13th 1975), Stingray‘s The Man from the Navy (November 15th 1964), and The Secret Service‘s The Deadly Whisper (November 16th 1969).
