This year is the 50th anniversary of the original series and 3 new episodes have been filmed to celebrate this milestone.
As a backer, I will be one of the fortunate ones to get the DVD package of the 3 new episodes, which I should be getting in the next few weeks.
Anyway, yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit the studio in Slough where the original and the new episodes were made.
It was an experience to re-live my childhod and actually handle the models, the puppets, the sets, to dscuss the techniques and how it was all put together.
I had school friends when I was a kid whose parents worked for Gerry Anderson, and we did have a visit to the Studio as a school trip back in the 60's, but I was too young to appreciate the technical aspect, I just loved the programme.
Now though it is both.
Can't wait for my DVD's to arrive now
