I picked up this ITV annual years ago at a comic mart. It's dated 1963 and has features on their programmes of the day like wildlife series 'Survival' and pop show, 'Thank Your Lucky Stars'. There's a 'No Hiding Place' strip story drawn by Mike Western, and text stories featuring '77 Sunset Strip' and 'Hawaiian Eye'. The latter written by scriptwriter and TV21 editor, Alan Fennell.
The main reason I bought it was for an article inside on 'Fireball XL5'.
It was a fairly informative piece and had some nice publicity photos that at the time I hadn't seen before.
A nice shot of Derek Meddings landing the two foot model of Fireball at Space City in the top left hand corner.
A couple of shots showing the puppeteers. The top one looks like a publicity shot using the set from the episode, 'The Forbidden Planet'.
Top picture shows a very young looking Gerry with hair!
And the last part with the top picture showing the J - 17 rocket used by Lieutenant Ninety in episode , ' Flight To Danger'.
Phew - i thought those Persuaders were about to creep in there...
