Happy Gerry Anderson day!

Glad I could finally get this idea done (it's been in my head for 2 years now how awful), thought I should actually do sommat for GA day (mainly cause I've been so focused on other stuff it's nice to go back to it) but also not to be a sop but without GA and the shows created I would not have many friends at all, I've met so many people via these shows (mainly tbirds obvs) and I'm so glad for it! So love y'all and enjoy Ur day!

#no kapril post today fellas #this the focus #originally this was gonna have shows up to secret service but i couldnt work out how to put em together #gerry Anderson day #gerry anderson #four feather falls #supercar #fireball xl5 #stingray #thunderbirds

I bring to you terror and joy.

The terror comes from this being the opening to a Gerry Anderson Supermarionation series. The technology to make these shows was amazing, using radio controlled faces with expertly puppeteered bodies to make affordable sci-fi for kids.

The outsized heads and lack of "chibification" however, made them beautifully uncanny. Delicious nightmares made plastic.

The joy is from the jaunty little ending credits tune "My Heart would be a Fireball", a wacky little pop love song in which the singer professes that his love is akin to the ship in the series. And you know how I love a kid's show theme trying really hard to be a pop song.

Also the main character's name is "Steve Zodiac" and not enough shows have the commitment to sparkle motion to do stuff like that these days.

I’d never realised that TOS Scott was modelled on Sean Connery…

Now just imagining all Scott’s lines in TAG in Sean’s voice and it’s… quite something..
