In October 2006 Fanderson held their Sector 25 convention in London. This article is PART 1 of a 2 part article on the event. PART 2 will be posted next week. This is a fairly long article. Photos are in the gallery, but I'll try to link in some photos when I post PART 2.

Another bit of somewhat old news, but I keep getting emails, so I'm doing a post about it. A couple of years ago, some work was done on a test (not a pilot as previously stated) for a new version of Thunderbirds. This one was to be a combination of computer animation and physical puppets/models. Certainly an intriguing idea. Sadly the project was put on hold when the Granada /Carlton merger took place.

One of the production team has a blog post online here which talks about the production and even includes a short quicktime trailer. Interestingly, the blog is by the man who was to be the Executive Producer of the show. Seems weird to have someone else as the producer of a Thunderbirds show. But then again, it has happened before. Sadly, this one looks like it had some potential.

His main site can be found here . 

If anyone knows any more about this, please drop me a line...
