Hey blue skyers, I'm Ben. I make movies and do puppet shows- usually at the same time. I freelance for Doctor Who, Blake's 7, the Puppeteers of America, the Gerry Anderson company, the Ray Harryhausen Foundation and lots of others and I post a lot about 60s, 70s, 80s pop culture.

Things like this are the reason I love being part of Security Hazard. Strange spinoffs, forgotten oddities, distantly connected curios... We've got one of everything.

TERRAHAWKS (1983): Gerry Anderson's 80s puppet show was bonkers at the best of times, but the episode where Zelda's daughter, Cy-Star, 'gives birth' to the hermaphrodite It-Star, is next level.

NEW POST!

Lieutenant Brogan vows revenge against a jewellery thief! But all is not well behind the scenes of Space Precinct...

Space Precinct – 19. Smelter Skelter

As soon as I learned that Smelter Skelter's original director, Silvio Narizzano, left the production halfway through shooting the episode, I could think about little else in preparation for writing this review. Juicy behind the scenes drama is an absolute gift when you're into your nineteenth consecutive week of studying something as formulaic as a television series. Smelter Skelter is a fairly average episode of Space Precinct with nobody trying all that hard to push the envelope in any department. The result is an entertaining but inconsequential bit of television. So, it's all the more remarkable to learn that this is the one that drove Ted Shackelford to breaking point, left another member of the repertory cast in tears, and saw the end of a prolific director's career.

Meet Mike Mercury's lesser known brother Ben Mercury. Unlike Mike, Ben is not much of a pilot. In fact, he is not a pilot at all. Someone should tell Ben that he is not inside the aircraft.

168/1000:
CASH ON DEMAND

This is the only film in my watchlist so far produced by Hammer Films that doesn't fall under the horror genre. Cushing best exemplifies tension in his performance as a nervous bank manager, a far cry from his usual roles in horror movies.

Gerry Anderson @gerryanderson.bsky.social · 19d

60 years since Thunderbirds aired on British TV! What better way to start the party than by celebrating the show's co-creators Gerry + Sylvia Anderson? Their combined talents brought so much to all aspects of Thunderbirds and created a very special series - as did the incredible team they assembled!
