Our sizzling summer issue is something of an anniversary edition, as we celebrate 45 years of Thunderbirds, 35 years of UFO and 30 years of Space:1999 in a trio of special articles, one of which is penned by our ex-chairman Chris Bentley. How time flies, eh?

We also bring you the second part of our fascinating interview with Shane Rimmer, and catch up with special effects king Steven Begg about his early work on Terrahawks. There's a fascinating interview with Lego genius Romain Haller about his penchant for re-making Anderson vehicle designs, the third part of our in-depth exploration of Space:1999 Year 1 and Stephen Baxter bids farewell to TV21 (the original comic, not our convention in October!).

As always, we have all the latest news from the worlds of Gerry Anderson, plus old favourites such as Timelash and The Midas Touch (fans of The Secret Service and Captain Scarlet will be pleased). If all that wasn't enough, the more eagle-eyed among you might notice something extra special about this issue...
