Premieres at 8:00am on Saturday 29th June on ITV and CITV. Repeats Sunday 6pm, Wednesday 4.30pm and Thursday at 7:30am on CITV (Freeview 203).

Movie night at Tracy Island is interrupted when a young GDF guard (voiced by Navin Chowdhry) gets trapped inside a radioactive nuclear facility that is said to be haunted by a mythical ‘Beast’. Scott goes in to assist, with help from the GDF, to find they are up against more than they bargained for… Will they uncover the truth about the Shackleton Beast?

Easter Eggs:

  • Shackleton power plant is named after Keith Shackleton
  • Fans of classic Gerry Anderson series will no doubt recognise Scott’s choice for movie night!

Supercelebration Treasure 6: Stingray style guide, TB3 cut-out, nuclear disposal area 2 and more!

At Fanderson’s Supercelebration convention this September we’ll be raising much-needed funds for our convention charity.

Members who registered for the convention before June have nominated charities that they’d like us to support, and the club committee will be considering all nominees at their July meeting.

Our generous friends, partners, licensees and club members have donated a raft of unusual and rare items which will all be going home with convention delegates as a result of our blind and live auctions, raffles and other activities during the weekend.

If you would like to donate something to raise money for a great cause, please e-mail details (including photos) to us at fanderson.org.uk@outlook.com.

With raffle tickets at just £1 each, everyone, whatever your budget, has a chance of going home with something special and helping a good cause. Keep an eye out for more items in the coming weeks, and start saving your pocket money!

To give you just a taste of the range that will be on offer…

Dominic Lavery to attend Supercelebration

We are excited to announce that Dominic Lavery has agreed to attend Supercelebration is September.

Dominic was the Concept Art Director on New Captain Scarlet and directed eight episodes in total.

Join us for a Supercelebration

The convention takes place from 20th to 22nd September at the 2019 Holiday Inn, Maidenhead.

Tickets to Supercelebration start from just £65 per person for one day, or £110 for the whole weekend. In this challenging financial climate, we’ve managed to keep the ticket price the same as our Special Assignment convention in 2017. That’s because we’re a fan club and no one is taking a salary.

FAB 92 is on its way!

FAB 92 is now in the post to all Fanderson members around the world, and in special trial packaging!

Plastic protects your club magazine better through the post than a paper envelope, but can damage the environment. That’s why we’re trying a number of ‘green’ alternatives to plastic mailing bags. The wrapper for the FAB 92 mailing is 100% compostable, as it’s made from potato and maize starch. Don’t throw it in your bin, but instead:

  1. put it in your home composter
  2. put it in with your garden waste, or
  3. use it to line your food waste caddy

Once your FAB’s arrived, let us know what think of this wrapper at fanderson.org.uk@outlook.com

Within its 64 pages FAB 92 includes:

  • members’ views of Stingray Plant Of Doom, plus an exclusive Marineville cutaway illustration, in our regular Timelash feature
  • tributes to actor/writer Shane Rimmer, production manager Ken Holt and Century 21 Merchandising supremo Keith Shackleton
  • a look at Interster, South Africa’s sci-fi puppet series
  • an interview with Thunderbirds Are Go‘s animation supervisor Chad Moffitt
  • part four of our exclusive Thunderbird 6 photo-strip
  • news, FAB Mail and more

We’re sorry, but production problems mean that this year’s membership gift, The Secret Service Close Up, isn’t yet ready for mailing. We didn’t want to keep FAB 92 from you any longer so we’ll mail The Secret Service Close Up just as soon as we can.

FAB magazine is available exclusively to Fanderson club members – we deliver three times a year, and we do our very best to make each issue a joy to read for every fan – regardless of your favourite series!
