When Adrian Owen, a colleague from The Social Media Bureau, posted about backing Gerry Anderson’s Firestorm. I literally jumped at the opportunity and signed up for a package including a DVD of the pilot. I grew up watching Gerry Anderson’s sci-fi shows on TV. This was long before Star wars or even Star Trek. Programmes such as Fireball XL5, Stingray, Captain Scarlett and the Misterons, Space 1999 and best of all Thunderbirds.
Jamie Anderson, Gerry’s son, is the producer of the new version of Firestorm and has enlisted lots of the original back room folks as well as some of the voices that we all know so well from the original TV programmes.
This is my second Kickstarter project and it successfully raised over £88k against a goal of £49k on November 2nd 2014. Here is the video that describes the project:
