From the Networkonair website:

An alien being chooses two children to assist him in improving the Earth...

A spaceship on a scientific mission is flung into the far reaches of outer space...

A police lieutenant fights organised crime on a distant planet...

... These are The Lost Worlds of Gerry Anderson!

Creator of the legendary Thunderbirds, Gerry Anderson scored incredible successes throughout the 1960s and '70s with Captain Scarlet, UFO, Space: 1999 and other series which appealed to both children and adults alike. Not all his ideas, however, went to a full series and this set contains the 1970s pilots for both The Investigator and The Day After Tomorrow, as well as the 1986 pilot for Space Police, which was eventually reworked as Space Precinct nearly a decade later.

Alongside these rare and much sought after programmes, this collector's set also includes:

• Here Comes Kandy and You've Never Seen This - Gerry's earliest work, from 1955
• Image galleries for all three pilots
• New transfer of remaining film elements for Space Police, alongside the 1992 "Reloaded" edit and test footage
• Dick Spanner, PI - an unscreened episode with accompanying image gallery
• Blue Skies Ahead and an accompanying Blue Cars advert, made by Gerry in partnership with Nicholas Parsons

PC Don Ross suspects that a gang of lorry hijackers, operating from a transport caf�, is behind a series of vehicle thefts. When his suspicions are dismissed by his superiors, Ross decides to conduct his own undercover investigation, and sets out to collect vital evidence that could convict the gang.

This crime thriller for Anglo-Amalgamated was Gerry Anderson's directorial film debut, and the only feature-length production to be made by AP Films, co-founded by the legendary puppet pioneer in 1957.

Released in 1960 between the making of Four Feather Falls and Supercar, Crossroads to Crime features the talents of several of Anderson's later Supermarionation collaborators, including George Murcell, David Graham, Anderson's future wife Sylvia and Barry Gray, whose iconic themes famously complemented the Supermarionation series of the 1960s. The film negative was physically edited in the 1960s to replace the original titles with ones for the Edgar Wallace Mystery series and it is from these film elements that this brand-new transfer has been made. The original titles are included as a separate special feature.

This special collection has been re-released with a new title, and a new boxset art.  It features three of the much-loved Gerry Anderson series in their entirety along with behind the scenes galleries, commentary and trailers and is a must-have for any fan.

Contains the following:

Captain Scarlet:

2068. Earth is at war with a bizarre martian enemy, the Mysterions. Only Spectrum, the world security organisation, and its number one agent Captain Scarlet, can hope to defend the planet against the invading aliens and stop the intergalactic war of nerves before the Earth is destroyed.

Joe 90:

Professor Ian Mac McClaine, a brilliant computer expert, has invented an incredible device called the Brain Impulse Galvanoscope Record and Transfer or BIG RAT. BIG RAT enables the knowledge and experience of one person to be transferred to another. Mac demonstrates the machine to his friend Sam Loover by transferring his own brain patterns to his adopted son Joe. Joe, with the aid of this technology and some very special glasses, becomes the World Intelligence Networks (W.I.N) most effective agent fighting evil and saving the human race.

Stingray:

2065, Marineville. The World Aquanaught Security Patrol (WASP) fight against the evil Titan and the Aquaphibians, grotesque undersea warriors, in the quest for world peace. Wasps most powerful asset is the sleek and deadly underwater craft STINGRAY, captained by intrepid Troy Tempest. Helping him are Phones, the brave radio expert, the Commander Sam Shore, his daughter Atlanta and Marina the voiceless, tailless Mermaid.

Also known as "Into Infinity" - which would have been the title of the first episode of a new series titled "The Day after Tomorrow", the pilot episode starring Brian Blessed and Nick Tate was the only one made.

From Amazon.co.uk:

"A tongue-in-cheek stop-animation series starring mild-mannered private investigator Dick Spanner, the creation of Terry Adlam and Gerry Anderson. Originally screened on television as part of the series Network Seven, this DVD features Dick Spanner in two investigations, complete with lots of sight gags, wisecracks and satire throughout. Dick Spanner is voiced by Shane Rimmer, who was previously the voice of Scott Tracy in Thunderbirds. As a bonus there are interviews with Gerry Anderson at the end of each serial and a new video to go with the theme song."

After the tragic death of his father, Ben Carrington�s mother teams up with a wealthy entrepreneur to form an elite, top-secret rescue organisation � Gemini Force.

Ben is determined to become part of the team, but first he must prove he has what it takes to face dangerous situations and save lives. In Black Horizon, after a promising early start to his career as a rescuer, Ben can�t resist stowing away so that he can take part in a rescue of oil platform workers trapped on a capsized, burning oil platform.

In Ghost Mine, news reaches Gemini Force of a gang of illegal �ghost� miners trapped after a South African mining disaster. Ben is glad to spring into action with the team. But it soon emerges that the company, Auron, doesn�t want its miners found. Ben must work out who to trust if he�s to ensure that Gemini Force pulls off its most difficult mission yet.

White Storm concludes the series with Ben facing his own mortality in the Swiss Alps as Gemini Force is put in an impossible dilemma: rescue one of their own, or some of the world�s most influential people?

Impossible rescues. Maximum risk. This is Gemini Force 1.

Shane Rimmer�s voice is familiar to millions from his role as Scott Tracy, the pilot of Thunderbird 1, but there are many other facets to his remarkable career.

In From Thunderbirds to Pterodactyls Shane recalls the years he spent as an actor, voice artist and writer for Gerry Anderson�s classic productions, as well as his appearances in other memorable shows such as Doctor Who, Coronation Street and Lipstick On Your Collar.

Equally at home in Star Wars or Out of Africa, Shane�s talents as a character actor have been called upon by some of the film industry�s leading directors. He worked for Stanley Kubrick in Dr Strangelove and Christopher Nolan in Batman Begins. Between the two he notched up appearances in three James Bond movies and had a close encounter with a low-flying dinosaur in The People that Time Forgot.

This wry and refreshingly frank autobiography sheds new light on some of the best-loved films and television series ever made, as well as revealing what life is really like for a jobbing actor in the sometimes less than glamorous world of showbusiness.

This three-disc audio CD is read by Shane and is released on 31 November 2011, RRP �16.99. A download version will also be available from bigfinish.com, priced at �14.99.
