Stay ConnectedExplore the worlds of Gerry Anderson, from Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet to Space: 1999, Terrahawks and beyond, with Richard James, Chris Dale and Jamie Anderson.
New episodes every fortnight, alternating guest interviews and conversation with The Randomiser – Chris Dale’s episode-by-episode journey through six decades of Gerry Anderson shows. Join us for behind-the-scenes stories, news, facts, trivia and questions from listeners.
It's always a pleasure to watch an episode of a classic Gerry Anderson series with someone who was intimately involved in its making, so it was a special treat when the Randomiser - quite unexpectedly - chose an episode of The Protectors to watch with John Cameron.
John composed and arranged the incidental music for the series, and he shares a few thoughts and memories as we watch the episode, Lena , together!

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?

Our special guest, writer, director and producer Chris Chapman, has fond memories of watching the later Supermarionation series like Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet, so what has the Randomiser chosen for him to watch with Chris and Richard?
Supercar of course!
But, at least he's introduced to everyone's favourite monkey...

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?

There are so many strings to Nigel Plaskitt's bow that it's difficult to know where to start! Puppeteer, producer, actor and voice actor, he's brought so many wonderful creations to the world, from Unstoffe in Doctor Who, The Ribos Operation to Pipkins' Hartley Hare and PG Tips' Monkey to several of the muppets! He's best known in the Anderverse for voicing Captain Black in the 2005 CGI remake of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons - New Captain Scarlet!
This month, Nigel shares the many highlights of his illustrious career, from Muffin the Mule to reuniting with his Scarlet costars to record a very special audio adventure for the new BluRay... And even the Randomiser gets in on the game!
