The 'Thunderbird' One Show.

Nice to a see a short piece on yesterdays 'One Show' regarding the issue of a range of stamps commemorating the works of the great 'Gerry Anderson'. Anybody of my age were priveliged to watch his productions in the 60s and 70s on TV, and in later years on Video and DVD. It is only the last 20 odd years that he has got the full praise he deserves, mainly due to repeats of the shows on 'BBC2'. I remember a poster magazine in the mid 70s called 'TV Sci Fi'. It mainly consisted of 'Star Trek' and the then current 'Anderson' show 'Space 1999'. They insisted on spelling his name incorrectly as 'Jerry Anderson', which I found both irritating and astonishing. At least a few years later. 'Fanzines' were cropping up everywhere covering 'Cult TV' and 'Andersons' now correctly spelt name and prominence were at last back again. It is nice to see him and his shows now get the praise they thoroughly deserve.
