Self-professed 'Creative Generalist' Chris Thompson is living the dream - literally - from drawing fire engines as a child to designing new craft for the Anderverse!

He talks us through the process of designing our favourite craft and creatures, whether that be the Rutans from Doctor Who or Blake's 7's Liberator. Along the way, we talk about his favourite Anderson characters and vehicles - and he gives us a sneak preview of the forthcoming Thunderbirds Technical Operations Manual!

Singer-songwriter Newton Faulkner is treated to a particularly musical episode of The Protectors, featuring Eartha Kitt as a songstress haunted by odd occurrences and strange events. Is she being stalked by a spectre or losing her mind? Perhaps Harry Rule can help!

But what will Newton make of this most unAnderson of the Anderson shows?

Paul McGann joins to watch a classic episode from Captain Scarlet. But can it be true that the Randomiser has chosen an episode that Paul actually remembers watching over half a century ago?

Mince pies at the ready! It's time for our Bumper Christmas Edition featuring our very special guest Paul McGann! Aside from an in-depth look at his life and times, Paul reveals who he played in childhood games of Thunderbirds and which Anderson series he'd appear in today...

But just what is his reading on the Andermeter? And can he improve his score by singing the theme tune to Torchy and Fireball XL5? Using his trusty sonic screwdriver, Paul unlocks memories of watching Stingray and Captain Scarlet - and gets a few Christmas surprises along the way!

Much to Richard's consternation, the Randomiser has chosen a classic episode of Gerry Anderson's Supermacromation series, Terrahawks!

Superfans Jamie and Chris are delighted that Zero's Finest Hour puts Windsor Davies' Sergeant Major Zero front and centre, which is never a bad thing.

But what do you think of this slice of 80's Anderson?

Our special guest Henry Shields from Mischief Productions is back! Having pressed the Randomiser button in the last Gerry Anderson Podcast, he now sits down with Richard and Chris to watch an episode of Space Precinct!

Two Against The Rock is generally considered one of the best episodes of the series, so it's the perfect place join us if you've never watched before. There's tension, romance and one or two (subsequently) famous faces as a crime lord is lured to his death on an asteroid prison!

What could possibly go wrong...?
