New Captain Scarlet
Gerry Anderson is moving out of his office and back home while he works on new projects. As he is moving out, he no longer has room for the items in his office and so he is selling them. Much of it is of interest to collectors so there will be an auction next week, Feb 7 2009 in Battersea, South London. It is being organised by Comet Miniatures. Much of the auction consists of content from the New Captain Scarlet show as well as recent projects. Not much "classic" Anderson items, except some toys. There is an interesting set of Dinky Blueprints which will probably generate some interest. For full details and a complete list of items, check out this auction page: http://www.comet-miniatures.com/news_auction.php

The website for New Captain Scarlet has come back online after several months of inactivity. This is probably due to broadcast repeats in the UK as well as broadcast again on Animania HD in the US. The site is all Flash so you must have the plugin to see it. Its all about the new series. No apparent mention of the original series.

FINALLY. The "second series" of New Captain Scarlet will be released in the UK on September 18th. This will consist of the final(?) 13 episodes of the show. The first 13 episodes were released some time back and it certainly has been a long time coming. The new set sells for £30 but for those wise enough to hold off on buying the first series will really reap the benefit as they can get both series for only £35. Way to stick it to the fans. Either way you look at it, its a great show and well worth picking up. You can pre-order the series 2 DVD from Amazon UK for only £22.49.

In addition, Gerry will be at Forbidden Planet doing some autographs and Hamleys will be carrying the new range of toys from Bandai.
All this, and no word of broadcast or other releases outside the UK...

In a move that surprised everyone, it was announced that the new "Captain Scarlet" CGI series from Gerry Anderson is to commence broadcasting in the UK on February 12 2005. It was generally thought that the show would air during the autumn of 2005, so is a pleasant surprise indeed. The announcement was made at the London World Toy Fair on January 27th 2005. The first series will consist of 26 episodes, of which the first 13 are complete, so this initial run will just be a preview for the show, which will be repeated in September along with the final 13 episodes. The show will air on ITV as part of their "MOM" programme. A detailed report on this as well as details of merchandise announcements at the fair will appear here in a few days.

TriMedia Entertainment Group and Gerry Anderson Productions plc have signed a deal which allows for US distribution of the new Captain Scarlet CGI series. I suppose we ought to start calling it "Captain Scarlet - The Return of the Mysterons". Full press release below.
