For twenty-five years, Janet Wishart let all of Aberdeen believe she was a witch — until the day the authorities finally decided to find out what she was capable of admitting under questioning.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/AberdeenWitchFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Janet Wishart loved practicing her evil Satanic magic – and equally loved boasting about it; something you really shouldn't do if you happen to live in the days of the Great Scottish Witch Hunt. (Janet Wisharts's Witchy Ways) *** Have you ever seen the movie “Going In Style” about some retired elderly men deciding to do one last robbery just to see if they had the stuff? Whether you watched the 1979 original or the 2017 remake, the premise is hilarious and fun. But apparently several men in 2015 decided to do it for real – and almost walked away with $200-million in cash and jewels! (The Grandpa Gang Jewel Robbery) *** The encounter of Gerry Anderson is one of the most intriguing claims of alien abduction in the United Kingdom. Not least as he wouldn't fully recall the incident that occurred in the early 1950s when he was a 12-year-old boy until decades later under hypnotic regression. (The Alien Abduction of Gerry Anderson) *** In November, 1980 the MGM Grand in Las Vegas caught fire, claiming numerous lives. Decades later we learn what went wrong, how it can be avoided in the future, and we hear the haunting details of what happened during the fire – as well as the hauntings that are taking place even now so many years later.

 In our ongoing series we're tracing Jerry Anderson's strange, essential legacy and why early Sci Fi Channel programming kept looping Supercar, Stingray, and Space: 1999 into the brains of American kids who had no idea what they were watching, only that it felt like a secret door into another era of science fiction TV.

This is a preview of our ongoing series on the origins and programming of the Sci-Fi Channel. I promise we do actually talk about Gerry Anderson in this one. 

It's about time we looked at another main character at SHADO, this time the dreamboat that is Paul Foster.

Vicki Perks, AKA Vix from We've Got A Fuzzbox And we're Gonna Use It, joins us as our very special guest, to talk all about her Anderson inspirations and Fuzzbox memories. The band's smash hit International Rescue was directly inspired by one of the Andersons' most enduring series and created a cultural moment all its own.But just what does Vix score on the Andermeter, what does the Randmiser choose for her to watch next time, and just how did she get into that Barbarella dress?00:22 Welcome to the Gerry Anderson Podcast! 01:23 Your Youtube Comments04:00 Gerry Anderson Day Roundup - Did you join us?06:52 The Voice Of The Podsterons!

With no villain in Lone-Handed 90, its time for us to take our first look at the titular character, as he dreams of being Sheriff.

This month's special guest, Jeff Smart, joins us to watch a random episode of a random Gerry Anderson series.

It's quite an episode this time, as we feature a hero AND a villain - the boo-hiss Captain Black, and possibly the best of the Angels, Symphony.

This month's guest, Jeff Smart, was commentary producer on many Anderson DVD titles - from Supercar to Space 1999. His involvement began with UFO commentaries with Alan Perry, Mike Billington Sylvia Anderson and Wanda Ventham. Consequently, he has more than a few interesting stories to tell! And then there's a certain Nosey Parker...00:23 Welcome to the Gerry Anderson Podcast! 04:34 An April Fool (or is it..?)09:07 The Voice Of The Podsterons18:19 Meet Jeff Smart!32:03 The Andermeter - what will Jeff score?32:54 Superidentification50:07 Making Nosey Parker Is Go!1:20:53 Viewers' and Listeners' Questions1:35:27 The Randomiser1:25:02 Fab Facts1:43:00 Celebrating Ayshea BroughNever Miss An EpisodeJoin the Podsterons Facebook groupSubscribe wherever you get your podcastsThe Randomiser with Chris DaleHelp The ShowLeave us a review on Apple PodcastsTweet about it!

Its time for us to vote on the, what we thought, main villain of Thunderbirds - the Hood. This verdict may change over subsequent visits to the show.

This month, we're joined by prolific actress Rosalyn Landor. From appearances aboard the Starship Enterprise and Hammer House of Horror via Sherlock Holmes and over 500 audiobooks, Rosalyn has spent a lifetime working with our greatest actors - some of whom have an Anderson connection, too!But does that mean - along with a love of UFO and Thunderbirds - that she's guaranteed a high score on the Andermeter? And just what will the Randomiser choose for her to watch with us next time?Meanwhile, Jamie's always around when there's presents to unwrap, so he joins Richard and Chris for a special Voice Of The Podsterons - with gifts!00:23 Welcome to the Gerry Anderson Podcast! 04:10 The Voice Of The Podsterons16:55 We Welcome Rosalyn Landor!20:12 The Andermeter!26:31 Roz's Favourite Thunderbirds Episode31:50 A Childhood Memory with an Anderson Connection44:48 Rumpole Of The Bailey on Space 1999!01:03:37 Sleuthing with Sherlock Holmes01:04:55 All Aboard The Enterprise!01:12:47 Viewers' Questions01:25:36 Rosalyn Presses The Randomiser Button!01:27:34 Fab FactsNever Miss An EpisodeJoin the Podsterons Facebook groupSubscribe wherever you get your podcastsThe Randomiser with Chris DaleHelp The ShowLeave us a review on Apple PodcastsTweet about it!

The original plan this time was to focus on the Alien in The Sound Of Silence but, after watching it, he appears to be stock footage. So we're looking at the SHADO Mobiles instead.

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?Never Miss An EpisodeJoin the Podsterons Facebook groupSubscribe wherever you get your podcastsThe Randomiser with Chris DaleHelp The ShowLeave us a review on Apple PodcastsTweet about it!

In this episode of Puppets Go BOOM!, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 1969 sci-fi espionage series The Secret Service. The show takes in a small English village where a parish priest named Father Stanley Unwin is a secret member of the British Intelligence Service Headquarters, Operation Priest (BISHOP). Together with his partner Matthew Harding, they are giving assignments by the head of the organization The Bishop to uncover secrets while under the guise of a regular vicar. By shrinking Matthew small using a device called the Minimiser, Father Unwin packs him in his suitcase and has him learn the plans of various people of bribery, counterfeiting money, sabotage, or blackmail and reports it to Unwin to stop them. When the show premiered, it received mixed reviews. While Gerry Anderson and Barry Gray called it their favorite Supermarionation show they ever worked on, many people felt it was too eccentric thanks to Stanley Unwin's well known way of speaking gobbledygook, had far less action and adventure, and was too distinctly British to connect to a mass demographic compared to the other shows like Thunderbirds. It was cancelled after 13 episodes and is regarded as the weakest Supermarionation show ever made. The Secret Service would be the final Supermarionation show and Gerry Anderson wouldn't create another show featuring puppets until 14 years later with Terrahawks under the term Hypermarionation. Is it as bad as people say it is?

Episode 405 is Gerry Anderson's The Investigator  The Investigator, a benevolent alien from a distant galaxy, selects an Earth boy and girl, John and Julie, to assist him in his mission to make their world a better place. The pair are miniaturized to assist The Investigator more easily, and assigned to prevent the theft by Stavros Karanti of a 14th century masterpiece from a church on Malta. John and Julie are presented with a car and a boat, scaled to accommodate their miniaturized size, and set out to thwart Karanti's plans..

Episode 404 is Gerry Anderson's Into Infinity (1975) The crew of the lightship Altares are lost in space when the craft is struck by a meteor shower and goes out of control. Also know as "The Day After Tomorrow"

In this episode of Puppets Go BOOM!, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 1967 sci-fi series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. Taken place in 2068, Captain Black and his crew traveled to Mars to track a mysterious radio signal. They found out that it came from the inhabitants of Mars, the Mysterons. Believing they were going to be attacked, Captain Black and his crew attacks the Mysterons. Vowing for revenge, the Mysterons kills Captain Black and control his mind making him their primary agent to take down his former organization Spectrum led by Colonel White. They almost killed and controlled one of Spectrum's agents Captain Scarlet, but he eventually broke out of their control and is now indestructible. Captain Scarlet, together with Captain Blue and the all female pilots, the Angels, learn more about the Mysterons as they kill off people or destroy vehicles and control them to try to destroy them. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons marked a major change in Supermarionation where the puppets were more realistic looking and had more dynamic cinematography due to Gerry Anderson wanting to stray away from doing movies and shows featuring puppets and doing more live action projects instead. It also went in a darker direction where the violence was increased and the action was more intense than previous Supermarionation shows. For some people, they loved it. Others felt it was too dark and took away the charm of the previous shows, especially after the major success of Thunderbirds. What did Arun and Patricia think of the show?

It's time to look at another Mysteron agent - but is Gabrielle as inept as others we've looked at?

Mischief Theatre Company has been taking the world by storm for the last ten years with productions including The Play That Goes Wrong and A Comedy About Spies.Co-founder Henry Shields joins us to tell us about their journey from the West End to two series on the BBC - and we get him thinking about how Thunderbirds Goes Wrong might look on stage!00:22 Welcome to the Gerry Anderson Podcast! 03:58 FAB Facts08:17 Mischief at The Royal Variety Performance15:44 Viewers and Listeners' Questions25:58 Space Precinct trailer30:55 The Goes Wrong Show35:54 Viewers and Listeners' Questions49:26 New Captain Scarlet54:34 The Gerry Anderson Podcast Goes Wrong56:49 The Randomiser59:29 Fab Facts01:02:40 The Voice Of The Podsterons01:07:44 Next TimeNever Miss An EpisodeJoin the Podsterons Facebook groupSubscribe wherever you get your podcastsThe Randomiser with Chris DaleHelp The ShowLeave us a review on Apple PodcastsTweet about it!

It's time to look at another of the Tracy brothers, this time Gordon, and his solo adventure in New York.

In this episode of Puppets Go BOOM!, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 1965 sci-fi action adventure series Thunderbirds in honor of its 60th anniversary. In the year 2065, whenever danger is happening around the world, a secret organization called International Rescue are there to save the day. Led by retired astronaut Jeff Tracy, together with his five sons Scott, Virgil, Gordon, John, and Alan, engineer/scientist Brains, and London agent Lady Penelope alongside her butler Aloysius Parker, they work together to save people from supernatural or man made disasters as well as stop the evil plans of the enigmatic villain The Hood.When the series first premiered, it was an instant hit. Toys, action figures, costumes, and model sets sold by the millions and the show was very popular for kids and adults all over the world. It even influenced people such as Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park, Super Mario Bros. and Legend of Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto, and South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Thunderbirds gained a new audience of kids around the 1980s and 1990s when the stage show Thunderbirds F.A.B. premiered and reruns aired on the BBC. To this day, Thunderbirds is seen as Gerry Anderson's magnum opus and the peak of Supermarionation. Is that statement true? Is it as good as its reputation says it is?

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast.... Who's He? On The TV | Thunderbirds - 60th Anniversary Phil celebrates the 60th anniversary of the classic TV series Thunderbirds, created by Gerry & Sylvia Anderson and he tells of the impact it had on his life.
