If you live in the UK and prefer to watch Thunderbirds off the air as opposed to on DVD, I have good news. Every weekday at noon, BBC2 is broadcasting the show. First episode aired on Thursday July 27th with the pilot episode, "Trapped in the Sky".
Apparently, it is being broadcast in s-t-e-r-e-o which may mean that rather naff version with the cheesy surround sound effects. If you missed the first episode, fear not tomorrow is another day and of course, another episode.
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 
A "new" book by Sylvia Anderson is due to be published in October 2006. This is apparently an "all new" book, but may contain material from her earlier book, "Yes M'Lady". However, as it has been at least 5 years (I know someone will correct me) since the publication of the earlier book, its entirely possible that this really is all new content.
Well, it seems that the Sci-Fi & Fantasy Modeller volume 1 did OK, so here comes volume 2. This issue contains 100 pages of modelling articles including scratch building an Angel Interceptor from Captain Scarlet and a scratchbuild Zero X replica. Other article topics include Blake's 7, Star Wars and the new Doctor Who (finally on in the US!).
