The baton is about to be raised for the Stand by for Action 2 concert – but there’s just time for this week’s edition of the Gerry Anderson news!
This week’s edition of the Gerry Anderson Podcast launched on Sunday evening, and featured the second part of an interview with Lavender Castle creator Rodney Matthews!

Also new this week over on the Gerry Anderson Randomiser Podcast (also available on all podcast platforms) The Protectors are asked to track down some Nazis in The Quick Brown Fox!
