Fanderson
The Official Gerry Anderson Appreciation Society


Fanderson is the Official Appreciation Society for the work of Gerry Anderson, endorsed by PolyGram Television International and Gerry Anderson himself - Fanderson's Honorary President. The club covers all of the Gerry Anderson television series and films, from Supermarionation series Supercar, Firebird XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90 and The Secret Service, through the live-action series UFO, The Protectors and Space:1999, the more recent series Terrahawks and Dick Spanner, and beyond to his latest spectacular multi-million dollar live action series Space Precinct.

Upon joining Fanderson, members receive a club badge, membership card and a special membership item, plus a signed colour photograph of Gerry Anderson and his personal letter of introduction to the club. Throughout the year, members receive six issues of the club's own bi-monthly magazine `FAB' which is packed with in-depth articles, detailed episode guides, interviews, competitions and the most up-to-the-minute news on the world of Gerry Anderson. Fanderson members are also given the opportunity to find pen-pals or join a local group to meet new friends and discuss their favourite shows.

Fanderson organises regular conventions where fans can watch favourite episodes on a big screen, see original models used in the series' stunning special effects, and meet the creators and stars of the shows (both human and puppet!) - club members are eligible for special discount registration rates for these events.

In addition, the club has a range of exclusive merchandise, only available to Fanderson members, which include photos, books, mugs, stationary, audio tapes and video documentaries on the making of UFO and Space:1999.
