Author James Swallow joined us this month to tell us all about the upcoming Thunderbirds anthology International Rescues, but he had a much more important job to do - Press the Randomiser button! Luckily, James is familiar with the Randomiser's choice, having been a fan of Space 1999 for many years, and even writing for Anderson Entertainment's novel range.

The Full Circle divides opinion among fans, but what will James make of it?

We were so lucky to be joined by Lois Unwin Johnston to watch her father Stanley Unwin in an episode of The Secret Service! Reckoned by some as an underated gem, the series only ran for 13 episodes before being cancelled by the man with the money, Lew Grade. But there is still fun to be had inn watching The Feathered Spies, a tale of espionage, aviation and pigeons!

It's always a thrill when we're joined by an actual cast member to watch an episode of a classic Gerry Anderson series! This month, we were joined by Captain Black himself, Nigel Plaskitt, to watch the Mysteron agent do his very worst.

Mercury Falling is a story full of thrills and spills - and even a Fireball Xl5 homage!

Just who is blocking the controls of the Mercury shuttle? Who is the unknown hacker demanding a ransom for its survival? Could it be that he's been sitting in the chair next us all along?
