Stand by for Action - the Gerry Anderson Thread

Big Finish’s announcement of a new Stingray audiobook prompted me to start another ‘franchise’ thread.

Now, I can’t claim to be a huge fan of Gerry Anderson although I do have fond memories of watching Stingray repeats when I was younger. In the 90s there was a huge resurgence of interest in Anderson mainly because of the famous Blue Peter Tracy Island.

I did thoroughly enjoy the often forgotten Space Precinct but could never quite get into Thunderbirds or Captain Scarlet.

Big Finish now have quite a wide ranging selection of Anderson-based audios and a lot of the audios are available for free via Spotify. I’ve listened to a few such as Terrahawks and it is a range I occasionally think of going back to.

So which is your favourite Thunderbird?

I have been summoned!

My younger brother has an obsession with Thunderbirds, it’s on the TV all the time, so I guess I’ve picked up quite a lot about Gerry Anderson stuff.

I hate Gordon Tracy so much I swear I cannot stand him and Alan can be a real jerk sometimes Tin-Tin deserves better I’m sorry for venting
