  1. Happy #GerryAndersonDay to all who celebrate! No strings on us!

    SIG!!

    The toys that came out of Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Space 1999 made some of the very best toys a kid could have (I wish I had held onto my Space 1999 Eagle!)

  6. Dee Anderson deliciously daft at bfi's #Supermarionation event this afternoon, and great she brought #LadyPenelope. First I'd heard of #TheSecretService - barely mentioned, but sounds unmissable: "(Stanley - yes, him) Unwin's missions involve frequent use of the Minimiser... regularly used on Matthew, who is reduced to a height of two feet (61 cm) to enable him to carry out covert reconnaissance where any normal-sized person would be noticed....

  10. I listened to Arctic Outpost Radio on my bike ride this morning, and they played "Four Feather Falls."

    Man, that's a #Supermarionation DEEP CUT!

  12. Question:
    When #FireballXL5 returns to Earth from one of its tours of multiple distant planets, how the hell does it have enough fuel left to land vertically?!
    (Not to mention 'why?')

  16. I've been binge watching the old #Supermarionation show Four Feather Falls, and Nicholas Parsons plays Tex Tucker with a pretty bad American accent. "I'll be doggoned" comes out "I'll be dah-gorned." "Grandpa" is "Granpahr" and "Ma" is "Mahr." Classic Brit actor hearing an R after a vowel.

  18. @jacobydave I’d love to see a stop-motion #WesAnderson’s #Westworld (“Wesworld”?) à la “Fantastic Mr. Fox” or “Isle of Dogs.”

    The human characters could start out obviously different than the androids’ #GerryAnderson #Supermarionation-style #puppets, and over the course of the film each side’s appearances would converge and become indistinguishable.

  19. Guilty pleasures dept: one of the earliest uses of Supermarionation is the 1962-3 series Fireball XL-5. Pre-Thunderbirds, pre-Stingray, pre-Captain Scarlett. It's currently being shown in all its glory in the UK on Talking Pictures TV on Saturday afternoons. B&W, and surprisingly sophisticated in the puppetry, sets, and props. Same cannot be said of the scripts, but that was never a strong point for Gerry Anderson. #FireballXL5 #Supermarionation #Thunderbirds #blackandwhite #TV #1960s
