David Graham RIP

Posted on by Parker

In tribute to legendary Anderson voice artist David Graham, who died earlier today, Talking Pictures have re-released their mini-documentary about the actor.

Filmed by Fanderson member Jeff Smart, Talking Thunderbirds is a series of documentaries featuring interviews with people involved in making our favourite puppet TV show. In this episode, David Graham discusses his career, where the inspiration for Parker’s voice came from, being the voice of the Daleks, and other varieties of characters he’s voiced!

New exclusive merchandise launched at London:1999!

Posted on by Parker

Fanderson is celebrating Space:1999‘s 50th anniversary with fans at the London:1999 convention this weekend.

As part of our programme of supporting independent conventions and events, we’re talking with fans and taking the opportunity to spread the word about Fanderson – the world’s only Gerry and Sylvia Anderson appreciation society – and to launch two great new pieces of exclusive club merchandise!

Hot on the heels of our soundtrack to the Super Space Theater Alien Attack compilation film, delegates at London:1999 are the first to buy the Destination Moonbase Alpha soundtrack CD! Not only that, but the club has righted a five-decade-long wrong by producing a sweet cigarette card set from Space:1999‘s second series! Both of these items will be available to order soon via the club website – just as soon as we’re home from London:1999.

As already announced, the third in our series of Super Space Theater soundtracks – Thunderbirds To The Rescue – will be launched at the 54321 FAB! Fanderson members’ day on 13th October. Book your place now!
