This site is still in testing as I bring back some of the functionality. As a result, some things will not be working until I am comfortable with the configuration. This includes:
So after about 2 years being offline, TV Century 21 is back online. The site was hacked and it took me a long time to bring it back online, with all the technical stuff that has to be done.
Things are still not complete, so please bear with me as I try to get things stable. Thanks for your patience.
In the meantime, the site should be fully searchable and the forums and downloads are back! Enjoy!
The latest issue of the fan-created magazine "Andersonic" is now available. Issue 12 contains an interview with sculptor John Blundall and Century 21 focus puller Robin McDonald.
Also included is a feature on an unfilmed Space:1999 script as well as an article on the recent Royal Mail Supermarionation stamps.
In addition, there are episode reviews, a competition and more.
The magazine features colour on front and back with black and white inside. The material is well done and is a smallish fanzine, but the size of FAB.
Its quite affordable and I highly recommend you pick up one, or indeed all of the available back issues. Its rare to find people still creating new material about Anderson and as fans we should support them!
A brand new CD of music by Barry Gray will be coming out later this year. Details are sketchy, but the title of the CD is "Stand By for Adverts". It is "Barry Gray as you have never heard him before". Presumably, this is a collection of music created for adverts on TV/radio.

The latest issue of the superb Anderson-themed fanzine "Andersonic" is available now. Issue 11 includes an interview with Century 21's former Visual Effects Director Shaun Whittacker-Cook in which he discusses his time working at Century 21 on series from Thunderbirds up to UFO.
In addition to that, the A5 sized (similar in size to the Fanderson magazine) issue contains:
November 23rd saw the DVD release of the complete series of Space Precinct in the US. I believe this is the first time the series has been officially available in the US. To celebrate, we are going to have a contest announcement very soon as well as a full review.
The 1995 series starred Ted Shackleford as Lt Brogan in a futuristic Blade-Runner-esque TV show which features some major directing talent from the Bond movies.

Contributor to TV Century 21 and the man behind many Barry Gray releases and events, Ralph Titterton, has collaborated on the new, official Barry Gray website. It is now live at www.barrygray.co.uk.
The site includes lots of information about the prolific composer who produced music for the very first Gerry Anderson show "The Adventures of Twizzle" all the way to the first series of Space:1999. Many of this compositions are now available in CD form, largely in part due to the tireless work of Ralph over the years.

Remember that "Gerry Anderson Century 21 2010 Annual" I mentioned a while back? Well, I got an email from Amazon UK telling me it is no longer going to be available.
It was scheduled to be published around now. I guess they decided sales were not going to pan out. Maybe its the times, maybe its the recycled artwork on the cover. Either way, its sad, but not entirely shocking.
I don't think there is a calendar either for 2011. I'll keep you posted if I hear any more.
Apparently, the recent Barry Gray 102nd anniversary show for "The Beyondophonic Action Hour" was so popular that they decided to re-run some of the Barry Gray specials from last year. Two specials, in fact.
The first 1 hour show is a special featuring a chronological sequence of the themes and also includes some other interesting tracks. The MP3 file is here.
The second 1 hour show is a special featuring covers of Barry Gray music. Features some very unusual versions of familiar themes. Quite interesting stuff! The MP3 file is here.
All this great work is brought to you by "Tothar" and is hosted by Luxuriamusic.com. Tell them thanks!
