Last night, it was Thunderbirds and Space 1999. I'm not sure how often they do these streams, but it might be worth subbing and checking in once in a while.

Shout! Studios

Does anyone know anything about this event at Colchester Castle in Essex? On until 30th June.

Reading between the lines, seems they've got a handful of Thunderbirds stuff and are using it to push the rest of the exhibit? Anyone been who can confirm or deny?

came round on Spotify last night off of a 60s Spy playlist. 'That's Captain Scarlet' I said, promptly realising it wasn't but that the sound was exceptionally similar.

Turns out it's a piece by one Paul Bonneau for The Prisoner (still never watched it) which, what do you know, came out at the same time as Scarlet.

I'm curious: both tapping into a fashionable sound, a simple coincidence or was there collaboration between the two artists?

Here's mine:

Four Feather Falls: Election Day

Supercar: Crash Landing.

Fireball Xl5: Space City Special.

Stingray: Man from the Navy.

Thunderbirds: Terror in New York City.

Captain Scarlet: Attack on Cloudbase.

Joe 90: The Unorthodox Shepherd.

The Secret Service: More Haste Less Speed.

Nebula 75: The Incredible Voyage of Nebula-75.

Morning all,

Started a long-overdue rewatch of Space Precinct at the weekend.

Annoyingly, I've discovered at the halfway mark (just about to start Takeover) that there's an AI-upscaled version on Britbox.

On one hand, I've always been wary of upscaling. I've found prior efforts can actually distract rather than enhance.

On the other, I'm tempted to resub to Britbox to rewatch Thunderbirds in HD anyway so I don't have to load up my awful ITV Blu-ray box set.

Has anyone watched Britbox's version of Space Precinct and how was it?

So I made this video explaining.

I just discovered that UFO can be bought from Amazon Prime Video. Does anyone know if such purchases can be downloaded in a format that can continue to be watched, even if Amazon ceases licensing of UFO for purchase or ceases licensed viewing through the Prime Video iOS app?

They're supposed to release the catalog showing this 1/9/24. Anyone know the cost?

So I decided to create the game Ninestein always plays in Terrahawks. If you fancy giving it a try it's available free on itch:

Here's a little trailer if you'd like a sneak peek:

I'm rewatching Joe 90 on Blu-ray and the thing I notice every single time (doubly so now thanks to the quality) is how phenomenal the set dressing is even for fleeting shots. It's properly impressive, especially the scenes in the cottage and lab.

Did Joe 90 feel like a step up for what was already some great set design in the earlier shows? It always does to me when I watch it again.

Fans of Space: 1999 may be interested in this Kickstarter for a documentary about the show’s iconic Eagle spacecraft:
