ANDERCON 2015: TRACY BROTHERS REUNION

A highlight for Andercon this year was the reunion of the four surviving actors who voiced the original Tracy brothers in Thunderbirds.


Shane Rimmer, (Scott) David Graham (Gordon) and Matt Zimmerman  (Alan) were a popular trio at  Cosford 2012 and last year's Andercon, but with the addition of Jeremy Wilkin, who voiced Virgil for the second series of Thunderbirds, this completed the surviving line up. Sadly, Ray Barrett, who voiced John died in 2009.


Their first official Andercon re-union was on the Friday evening at The Phoenix Cinema complex prior to a HD showing of the first Thunderbird episode, Trapped In The Sky, to celebrate the Thunderbirds fiftieth anniversary.


For those who couldn't attend the Friday night re-union, another was organised for the Saturday afternoon at the second venue, the Athena Complex.


 Comical Matt Zimmerman decided to dance with Shane Rimmer prior to their interview, much to the amusement of Jeremy Wilkin and the dismay of David Graham.

  1. Looks like a special moment that Scoop. The Tracy's together again. Andercon sure has appeal if it can put together events like this.

    1. Andercon showed two 1999 screenings. The first was Seed of Destruction with the first season titles.The second was the lacklustre All that Glisters which was unaltered. Personally I thought having the alternative titles for the first was novel ,but ultimately unremarkable.
