Fans of the wider ITC catalogue beyond the Anderson productions are sure to be interested in the ITC Entertained The World podcast.

Host Jaz Wiseman is joined by Rodney Marshall and Al Samujh to discuss a single series or film in each issue. Each lasting around an hour, there are 11 in the series already, featuring The Baron, Danger Man, Gideon’s Way, Hammer House Of Horror, Man In A Suitcase, The Persuaders! The Saint, Strange Report, The Zoo Gang and the feature film The Tamarind Seed.

They’re all available from the link above, or you can subscribe at either iTunes or Google podcast store.

Hot on the heels of his Lego Ideas Thunderbird 2 project, Andrew Clark also has Thunderbird 1 awaiting your support.

You can see more and pledge your support by clicking here.

Lego Ideas was set up so that budding Lego set designers could see their design made into sets that we could all buy. Fans can click to support the designs they like and, if a project gets over 10,000 supporters, it goes on to be assessed by the Lego team as a potential set.

Since Lego Ideas was set up in 2010 (as Lego Cuusoo), 35 sets have been produced on a wide range of topics. Andrew Clark has been luckier than most budding designers, as his Doctor Who and The Flintstones sets were both chosen to become reality.

You can see more Anderson designs on the Lego Ideas site.

A huge cache of over 200 models, puppets, photos, toys, document, films, pre-production drawings and much more is to go up for auction on 30th November 2020.

The collection was the property of Anderson Burr employee Julian Bell, who died recently, and includes items from Terrahawks, Dick Spanner and Space Police, plus work for abandoned projects including Strike Force and T-Force.

Whilst a collection of this size and variety comes up very rarely, for many the jewel in the collection with be the original studio Captain Ochre head, from Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons.

You can view the full catalogue in advance of the auction on 30th November, where you can also register for live online bidding.

Whilst Fanderson strives to provide club members with the most complete soundtracks to Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s series, we’re also working with Silva Screen Records to make cut-down versions of the soundtracks available to non-members.

You can find the best deals (that we’re aware of) on our Non-club merchandise page.

We’re getting FAB 95 ready to go to print and then in the post to all Fanderson members around the world in the next few weeks.

We know that some members have FAB and club merchandise sent to their work address which, if you’re in lockdown in the current situation, could mean that you’re not getting your deliveries. So that we send FAB 95 to the best place for you, please ensure we have the right address.

We’re planning an update to our website soon which will enable us to simplify things and take the address from your online account. Until that’s ready, we’re currently managing the mailing database separately (as explained since the new website was launched last year).

So, if you need to change your address we mail to, please ensure you:

1 email us at fanderson.org.uk@outlook.com with your name, membership number and the postal address you want us to use,

and

2 update your online club account at www.fanderson.org.uk:

• log-in from the SHOP page

• once you’ve logged in, click on My Account

• click on Addresses to update your address (don’t forget to click Save once you’ve finished!).

Thanks!

With so many of us in social isolation and/or lockdown, it’s important to keep occupied with a variety of activities.

We’ve dug through the Fanderson Archive to the early 90s, when we offered a series of colouring books with illustrations by club member Jonathan Baxter. They were designed for our young Fanderson Junior members, so none of us should find them too taxing!

Have fun colouring in, and don’t feel you have to stick to the known colours for each series. Play around, imagine you’ve only ever seen them in black and white(!) and let your imagination run riot!

Just click on the link for the page you want – just in time for Easter weekend, today’s additions complete the set.

Once you’re done, share your artistry on our Facebook page for everyone to enjoy.
