Keep this frequency clear – and listen in for the Gerry Anderson news roundup!
This week’s edition of the Gerry Anderson Podcast launched on Monday, and featured the first half of an interview with the legendary actor and writer Nigel Planer! 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.
Ever wondered what Nigel’s earliest Anderson memories are? Have a look at the above clip!
Also new this week over on the Gerry Anderson Randomiser Podcast (also available on all podcast platforms) movie time continues with the second half of Doppelganger, aka Journey to the Far Side of the Sun!

Now shipping from the Official Gerry Anderson Store is our trio of new mini-album adventures from the worlds of Fireball XL5, Stingray and Captain Scarlet, released in environmentally friendly card sleeves featuring artwork echoing the Century 21 mini-album designs of the 1960s! The set includes re-releases of full-cast audio dramas Cloud of a Billion Lights and Terror Fake (previously only available as part of the now-OOP deluxe Network Blu-ray releases of Fireball XL5 and Stingray respectively) plus the new audiobook adaptation of the Captain Scarlet TV21 story Martian Menace!
Also back in stock at the Official Gerry Anderson Store are three titles previously released through Network and out of print following the demise of the company. These titles are;
The Lost Worlds of Gerry Anderson (DVD)
Stand by for Action! Gerry Anderson in Concert (DVD & Blu-ray)
Gerry Anderson: A Life Uncharted (DVD & Blu-ray)
Please note that these discs are new pressings rather than old Network stock, but made using the same disc masters and case artwork (albeit with the Network logo removed) as the previous releases. So if you already had the Network editions, you’re not missing anything here!
