WHAT'S NEW

  • Information on Sci Fi's 2009 screening of Joe 90 added

  • Good grief, an update at last. Oh come on, it's only been a year. Well, eighteen months. And a bit. Erm...
  • Toned the red background down a bit, as it is a bit too loud on LCD screens (thank you METRO...)
  • Suggested screen resolution for viewing is now at least 1024x768, and the underlying code has been W3C validated - if anything doesn't work please let me know!
  • Sixteen episodes of Joe 90 can now be viewed online via the itv.com website (due to rights restrictions this service is only available in the UK). And it's free, unlike the ridiculously overpriced episodes of Captain Scarlet and The Mysterons on iTunes. Still much better to get the DVDs though...
  • Japanese Gerry Anderson Triple Pack added to DVDs, with a little extra...
  • Repackaged UK DVD box set added to DVDs
  • Original Flyer for the Advance Promotion Copy of the Pye single added to The Music - Commercial Releases
  • More than four times the number of original Publicity Photos with twenty one new ones - too many for one page, so now there are thumbnails which link to larger images
  • Repeater Gun added to Century 21 Toys
  • Supermarionation Graffiti No. 43, It's Thunderbird Century, It's Thunderbirds' Century and FAB Facts added to Publications
  • Star Tracks! added to The Music - Commercial Releases
