Theme Song of the Week: Terrahawks

2 comments:

  1. Wow! I thought I was the only person on this side of the Atlantic that enjoyed and actually watched Terrahawks! It's certainly a strange show, part comedy, part drama, a sort of parody of the Gerry Anderson universe, a sort of Team America without the bigger budget.

    I've loved all the Gerry Anderson shows through the late 1970's but missed much of his output during the 1980's and 1990's until the DVDs became available. I quite enjoy Terrahawks and Space Precinct, partly because of the very quirkiness the shows themselves.

    I just got the Terrahawks Blu-Rays because but haven't watched them yet because my US-based player won't play these discs despite reassurances it would. Oh well...I was hoping for a slight upgrade in the images since the DVDs look dreadful for the most part (due in part because the original negatives are lost and the show was shot on 16mm film).

    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this show and it would be great if you covered some more Gerry Anderson-related projects. In case you don't know, Gerry's son Jamie has a monthly YouTube show and weekly podcast related to his father's work. It's very entertaining with weekly interviews with people whose lives have been affected by the shows or who actually worked on the shows themselves.

    10-10 and Flaming Thunderbolts my friend!
