Spend a Night In with the creator of Supercar, Space: 1999 and Terrahawks – on his birthday!
Network Distributing and Anderson Entertainment present a feast of Gerry Anderson classics in a streaming ‘watchalong’ from 7pm on the very first Gerry Anderson Day.
Fancy a night of classic telly from the creator of Thunderbirds, Space:1999, Terrahawks and New Captain Scarlet – in high definition? Why not make a date with some friends on the 14th of April for a specially curated five-hour ‘Night In’ experience featuring some of the iconic Gerry Anderson TV shows that have meant so much to so many people over the past 60 years?
The 14th of April is the birthday of Gerry Anderson, whose great shows, including Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and UFO, have thrilled audiences for six decades. But this year the 14th of April is also Gerry Anderson Day, a day-long celebration of the life and work of the legendary producer.
As part of the celebrations, Network Distributing’s streaming service and Anderson Entertainment, Gerry’s content production company, have curated a unique time travel television experience – a fantastic, five-hour watchalong. Taking viewers through decades of Gerry Anderson hits, Gerry Anderson’s Night In will include famous shows, bespoke content, unseen footage, ads and much more!
This is a chance for Gerry’s fans to enjoy some of his greatest hits streaming in high definition – with some episodes never previously seen in HD.
Gerry Anderson’s Night In truly is a career-spanning event. And what a career! From 1960 to 2005 Gerry brought us Thunderbirds, Supercar, Fireball XL5, Joe 90, Space: 1999, Terrahawks and New Captain Scarlet – many of which will be included during this special night of history-making TV entertainment courtesy of Network Distributing’s new streaming service.
Although the Night In can be enjoyed any time from the 14th of April fans are encouraged to join in on the watchalong aspect, pressing play at 7pm with other fans around the UK and enjoying live Tweets from @networktweets and @GerryAndersonTV on Twitter.
