Fanderson members know that it wasn’t just Gerry Anderson, or Sylvia Anderson, who made Thunderbirds, UFO, Stingray, Doppelgänger, Joe 90, Space:1999, or any of our other favourite TV shows and films.

We know that there were also hundreds of technicians, puppeteers, writers, composers, designers, musicians, model-makers, voice artists, actors, directors, hair, make-up and wardrobe and many, many more who worked as part of the amazingly talented teams that Gerry and Sylvia recruited and nurtured to bring their creations to life.

They all deserve recognition for their wonderful work which is why, every year on Fanderson Day*, we celebrate all these very special people. Join us by commenting below**, or on social media, telling everyone who (on the Anderson productions) you think is special and why.

And, this being Fanderson’s 42nd anniversary, for today only you can save 42% off a range of 42 exclusive items of club merchandise – created by fans, for fans. From nearly 300 products we’ve picked those that represent not just the wide range of Anderson productions, but also those that perhaps only a fan club would be prepared to make – as a reminder why the club was created and is still so special today. Just apply the coupon code FandersonDay at checkout before you pay.

*With so many people to recognise, celebrate and honour it’s appropriate to do it on the day Fanderson was formed by Gerry Anderson and ITC, with the explicit intention of celebrating and honouring Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s productions.

**Comments can only be left by club members, and all comments are moderated.

IMPORTANT: Apply the coupon code FandersonDay before you pay to get 42% off items in the Fanderson Day category.

Members must apply the coupon code to get the discount. It cannot be applied after you have paid, and we cannot apply it retroactively.

We normally send merchandise packages by Royal Mail 2nd class or AirMail.

You can now choose to add a small payment for either 2nd class Signed For or next day Special Delivery (within the UK), or International Tracked And Signed. Just click on Postage Options to add a service to your order.

NOTE: These extra services are not available for club membership or Silva Screen products.

Last year we introduced a new price band for shipping to the USA, as postage prices had risen so sharply to that territory. We subsequently added Australia, Japan and New Zealand as postage steadily increased to there too.

Now, the difference in postage to various territories outside Europe is once again negligible, so we’re simplifying things and returning to our former three options for postage and packing – UK, Europe, and Rest of the World. Most ‘Rest Of The World’ prices have stayed the same, though a few have changed a little (some up, some down). FAB Express 104 details all the new prices.

Fanderson has improved the way we handle merchandise orders.

By relocating our merchandise mailing operation we’ll better keep our costs under control. Also, from today, orders will shows as ‘Complete’ in your online club account*, so you will know that your order is on its way.

* Unfortunately, we’re currently unable to show ‘complete’ for memberships or Silva Screen products in your order, though we intend to add this just as soon as we can. If your order includes any of these products, the ‘complete’ status does not apply to them.
