Happy #GerryAndersonDay to all who celebrate! No strings on us!

SIG!!

The toys that came out of Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Space 1999 made some of the very best toys a kid could have (I wish I had held onto my Space 1999 Eagle!)

@LordWoolamaloo I genuinely hope that somebody on the first team that actively tries to colonize the moon has watched Space:1999!

@masp when I was a kid on summer hols one year, there was a Space 1999 exhibition in Blackpool. 8 year old me was happily running around it for ages (my poor parents!). Costumes, sets, see your face on a Comlok! It was just along from the permanent Doctor Who exhibition, so double geek heaven that year

@LordWoolamaloo now I’m jealous! I spent quite a while in the Doctor Who exhibition when it was in Bristol, but I would’ve jumped at a space 1999 exhibition!
