It makes sense that Nightmare Movies and Anno Dracula author Kim Newman would be drawn to Captain Scarlet, but what is his favourite of the many Gerry Anderson shows he watched growing up? The answer might surprise you! In this episode, Kim explores the uniqueness of Thunderbirds' altruistic format, the pioneering Century 21 merch empire, and how puppets became such a dominant part of the television landscape. Plus, the usual gubbins you might expect to find in an episode of the Gerry Anderson Podcast!
