This week on the Gerry Anderson Podcast Pod 73 Jamie heads to the QI offices in Covent Garden to chat to Alex Bell. Alex is a QI Elf - that is - a researcher for Quite Interesting.

Alex is a designer, editor, writer and researcher who first discovered Thunderbirds in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He also makes occasional appearances on the No Such Thing as a Fish podcast.

Jamie and Alex talk about the Supermarionation era, FAB Facts makes a welcome return, the Plot of Peril continues, plus there's Gerry Anderson news and a stealthy Randomiser from Chris.
