The popularity of the recent archive podcast interview with Century 21 Merchandising head Keith Shackleton inspired a new video series over on the Official Gerry Anderson YouTube channel, where Keith tells the Story of the TV21 Comic Empire – and part 3 is available from today!

This week also saw several exciting Anderson-related announcements from Big Finish Productions, including the launch of Breaking Point, the latest volume in their UFO audio drama series, plus the news of re-releases for the Fireball XL5 audio drama Cloud of a Billion Lights and the Stingray audio drama Terror Fake, both previously only available as part of the deluxe editions of their respective Blu-ray releases.
