This week in Gerry Anderson news!

The Gerry Anderson news roundup; nobody knows who writes it or where it comes from, but come it does and news it brings!

This week’s edition of the Gerry Anderson Podcast launched on Sunday evening, and featured the first half of an interview with Stingray The Titanican Stratagem author Chris Dale! 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.

Also new this week over on the Gerry Anderson Randomiser Podcast (also available on all podcast platforms) the SHADO team had all manner of Dome-related problems in the UFO episode Reflections in the Water!

As if the Podcast interview with Chris Dale wasn’t enough, we also have another new one on our website delving into the upcoming new Stingray novel The Titanican Stratagem in more depth!

In this week’s Thunderbirds Thursday article, we examined how Thunderbirds showcased its network of secrecy and how much of it was left unspoken!

We were sad to hear this week of the passing on July 29th of Space: 1999 writer, story consultant, and script editor Christopher Penfold, and our thoughts go out to all who knew him.

With August 2024 being the 25th anniversary of Anderson Entertainment, we’re diving deep into the archives and examining many of Gerry Anderson’s unseen worlds in this new article – with a little help from Jamie Anderson to explain what these worlds could have been!

Help celebrate our quarter century! The Anderson Entertainment 25 Years t-shirt is now available to pre-order from the Official Gerry Anderson Store.

August 12th saw the 95 anniversary of the birth of Fireball XL5 voice artist John Bluthal, while Anderson episodes that first aired in the UK this week in years past include Four Feather Falls‘ Land Grabbers (August 11th 1960), and part 2 of Space:1999‘s The Bringers of Wonder (August 11th 1977).

Readers of the Gerry Anderson news roundup, on behalf of Joe and myself I thank you – from the bottom of my heart!
