If you live in the UK and can get BBC 4, make sure you tune in to Anderson-night on January 2 2008! BBC will be screening a number of Captain Scarlet and Thunderbirds episodes in addition to a new documentary and a brand new Stingray episode put together from promotional footage that was never used.

The evening's breakdown will be as follows:

1900 Thunderbirds - The Perils of Penelope
1950 Thunderbirds - Sun Probe
2040 Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons - The Mysterons
2110 All About Thunderbirds
2210 Stingray - the re-union party
2240 Mastermind - including a Thunderbirds specialist round
2310 Unrelated programming
0330 All About Thunderbirds - signed version for hearing impaired

All About Thunderbirds is the new documentary. Mastermind is a long-running quiz show where a contestant who claims to know a specific subject has to answer very tough questions.

The live action 1972 series "The Protectors" is finally out on DVD in the US. The DVD set consists of 4 discs with all 26 episodes from the first season. Not a lot of extras, but there is a photo gallery and a commentary for one episode.

The Protectors season 1 DVD set is available at Amazon for about $72. Something to tide us over until the Four Feather Falls DVD comes out later this year...
