Keep arms and legs inside the podcast at all times! It's a wild ride this week for Richard and Jamie as they check their monitors for a FAB Fact. Chris Dale wants to travel in time and best-selling author James Swallow joins us to talk about the important role of Gerry Anderson shows in the galaxy of sci-fi and adventure titles. From video games to young adult novels, James explains how the aspirational heroes of Thunderbirds provided inspiration for the kind of heroes he would one day create in his work!
