This week's edition of the Gerry Anderson Podcast launched on Sunday evening, and featured the second part of an interview with Christien Anholt in which he shared memories of his dad's work on The Protectors and Space:1999 - and his own work on Doctor Who, Relic Hunter and more!
This week's episode of the Anderson Audio Adventures podcast is the fifth part of Stingray: Operation Icecap!
Also new this week over on the Gerry Anderson Randomiser Podcast (also available on all podcast platforms) the Stingray crew were in need of a Rescue from the Skies!
This week saw the 60th anniversary of the launch of the classic TV Century 21 (later just TV21) comic - and we felt like celebrating with some new articles! First, we took a look at ten classic stories from across the comic's life - was your favourite on our list?
We followed that up later in the week with a look at Anderson Entertainment's own ongoing efforts to keep this old stories alive, either through new print anthologies or as audio dramas and audiobooks!
We unexpectedly managed to secure a limited quantity of box sets of Master Replicas' new Anderson action figure range, collecting all six currently available characters - Troy Tempest, Scott Tracy, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90, Commander Straker and Commander Koenig - in a single box with a display stand. You can order yours now from the Official Gerry Anderson Store, while all six figures are also still available individually.
