Even though I'm 47 I'm still obsessed by all things Anderson. I'm trying to get my six-year-old into stuff and I've had mixed results. He doesn't like Stingray but he does quite like Captain Scarlet.

I'm still in the Fanderson fan club too.

RIP Gerry. When I think of my childhood I think of my parents and your programmes. Sadly missed and shamefully treated by Working Title in 2004 too, the bastards.

Thanks Deano, I'd forgotten half of these. Happy memories though of some great programmes, especially Thunderbirds, seem to remember it was on ATV Friday tea time back in the 60's.
RIP Gerry - legend.
