If the first episode, A Case For The Bishop, was a little too wild and experimental for your palate, you’ll find yourself in a much safer pair of hands this week. A Question of Miracles, feels like something of a course correction by the Century 21 team. In their format-establishing first script for The Secret Service, Gerry & Sylvia Anderson had laid out all the weird and wonderful tones and techniques they wanted explore with their quirky new series. Some of it worked and some of it didn’t. It was, in many ways, an experiment, as pilot episodes often are.

LEGO Spectrum Vehicles (Captain Scarlet)
If you’ve been waiting for more Captain Scarlet LEGO® builds from me then today is your lucky day because I’ve got ten, yes TEN, microscale Spectrum vehicles to share!
LEGO SHADO Vehicles and Alien Craft (UFO)
UFO and its wide range of gorgeous vehicles have been an inspiration to LEGO® enthusiasts for many years. In particular, there are some very detailed and impressive brick-built models of the Moonbase Interceptor and the SHADO Mobiles out there which I simply drool over because of how big and complex they are. These builds are normally produced at minifigure scale or thereabouts. But instead of following the same path as the dedicated LEGO® and UFO fans that came before me, I decided that working on the vehicles in microscale would be the best approach to bring the SHADO fleet to life on my shelves.
End of Eternity: A Look Back on 2020
2020 has proven to be about as much fun as one of Doctor Fawn’s lectures on the physiology of the lower primates. This year has been a bumpy one for us at Security Hazard HQ, with the full spectrum of life’s problems filing along one after another, like an endless conveyor belt of Thunderbird 2’s pods… except each pod contained disappointment and a lingering sense of dread, rather than something fun like the Mole or the D.O.M.O.
Ep 17 – Space: 1999 (Year 1)
Katherine has been dreading watching Space: 1999. As far as she’s concerned its just too long and too boring. But as the crew of Moonbase Alpha face an apocalyptic nuclear disaster, maybe the drama and tension of this incredible piece of television will be enough to make Katherine change her mind…
Ep 15 – The Investigator
It’s time to watch one of the strangest Gerry Anderson productions ever committed to film. Jack and Katherine sit down for a viewing of the 1973 pilot, The Investigator. This film is Jack’s guilty pleasure, and Katherine has to bear the brunt of a lot of nerdy analysis and now you, dear listener, get to share in her pain…
Ep 13 – Stingray
This week, Jack and Katherine dive under the sea and join Troy, Phones, and Marina of the World Aquanaut Security Patrol for a voyage of discovery. Stingray is a personal favourite of Jack’s, so what will Katherine have to say about this Supermarionation classic?
Ep 11 – Thunderbirds
In this F.A.B. festive edition of Operation Anderthon, Jack and Katherine are ready to take on the biggest Anderson series of them all: Thunderbirds. From lemon squeezers, to palm trees, to Katherine’s controversial comments about Thunderbird 2, this week’s podcast has it all!
