• Gerry Anderson - the Monochrome Years | DVD | (09/10/2006) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £99.99

  Gerry Anderson is a British producer who was to British TV in the 60's what Walt Disney was to U.S. TV in the 50's - THE purveyor of children's television. As the children of the 60's grew up so did Gerry's programming with more adult puppet shows and live-action dramas to appeal to his maturing audience. The list of shows which Anderson has produced is quite staggering encompassing something that will resonate with almost everyone. His credits range from Thunderbirds to Space 1999; Captain Scarlet to Stingray; Joe 90 and the Terrahawks. Gerry Anderson is truly a bastion of children's television and his works are celebrated here on this monolith of a box set. Includes: 1. Torchy The Battery Boy (Series 1) 2. Four Feather Falls 3. Supercar 4. Fireball XL5

• Joe 90 - Vol. 2 | DVD | (30/09/2002) from £14.83   |  Saving you £1.16 (7.82%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Joe 90 was Gerry Anderson's penultimate puppet show of the 1960s, following Captain Scarlet (1968) and preceding the little-known The Secret Service (1969). In 2112 professor Ian McClaine has invented the BIG RAT (Brain Impulse Galvanoscope, Record and Transfer), a machine for copying knowledge and experiences from person to person. WIN (World Intelligence Organisation) uses this to prime their top undercover agent before sending him into the field on missions which range from foiling international terrorists to recovering a nuclear weapon from beneath the polar ice. So far so good, but in perhaps the most mind-boggling concept ever to reach children's TV, that agent is McClaine's nine-year-old adopted son, Joe. Somehow even as it stays true to the Gerry Anderson techno-fantasy formula of secret organisations, gadgetry, and action-packed adventure full of spectacular explosions and violent death, Joe 90 remains blithely unconscious of its own implications. The missions are as globe-trotting as anything in Anderson's classic Thunderbirds series, and sometimes Joe does save lives, performing a risky brain operation or rescuing trapped astronauts. Yet even then his criminally irresponsible father brainwashes the lad each episode before placing him in a highly dangerous adult situation. Though the production values remain way ahead of anything else being done on British TV at the time, the question remains how did this ever seem like a good idea? On the DVD: Joe 90, Volume 2 contains the second set of six 25-minute episodes presented, as usual with Gerry Anderson DVDs, behind a lovingly crafted menu. As expected the 4:3 picture quality is superb and the mono sound is full, detailed and without a trace of distortion. There are also several pages of character biography and background information on the show, a photo gallery and a variety of other extras. --Gary S Dalkin
