Friday 29th September 1967, and millions sat in front of their televisions, enthralled by The – the first episode of Gerry and Sylvia’s Anderson latest creation, Captain Scarlet And .

Fifty years on, and Captain Scarlet fans will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of this ground-breaking series at SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT, ’s convention for 2017. Plus, of course, over the weekend we’ll be looking at all the other amazing visions of the future that AP Films and Century 21 teams gave us in their productions, including Stingray, Thunderbirds, UFO, Space:1999 and more.

TICKETS

Tickets to SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT start at just £55 per person for one day, or £90 for the whole weekend. We’ve managed to keep the ticket price the same as our The Future Is Fantastic! convention in 2015 because we’re a fan club and no-one is taking a salary. Note that Saturday-only or Sunday-only tickets do not include the Saturday evening meal or any other refreshments that are included in the weekend ticket. Ticket prices will rise on 1st May 2017.

Fanderson members • Weekend (£90) Saturday only (£55) Sunday only (£55)

Not a Fanderson member? Anyone coming to Special Assignment who isn’t already a Fanderson member (even if you’re coming with a club member) must buy a Trial member ticket which includes a trial Fanderson membership at a special price of £10. The trial membership will start when you arrive at the convention and run until 31st December 2017. This will give you the latest issue of the club’s FAB magazine, membership badge, enable you to buy our merchandise at the convention at special prices, access our full range of merchandise online and access to the members’ area of the Fanderson Forum. • Weekend (£100) Saturday only (£65) Sunday only (£65)

Not able to be with us in person? If you’re not able to join us at SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT but would still like to support the event, you can buy a Supporting ticket. You’ll be supporting our charity and we’ll send you a full convention pack straight after the event. • UK (£10) Europe (£12.50) Rest of the world (£15)

Traders If you’re a trader or licensee who’d like the opportunity to sell your merchandise with fans of Gerry and ’s work (or even a club member who wants some of your collection to go to a good home) then buy tables in our SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT Traders’ Room. Each table is approximately 1m x 2m and permits one person to attend that table (so, for two members of staff on your table, you’ll need to buy two tables etc). A Trader’s ticket doesn’t give you access to the main convention areas. • Weekend (£90) Saturday only (£50) Sunday only (£50)

SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT is being staged Fanderson. The world’s only official Gerry and Sylvia Anderson appreciation society, Fanderson is endorsed by ITV Studios Global Entertainment, Anderson Entertainment, Productions and ITC Entertainment Group, with over 1,300 members worldwide. Based in the UK and run by a small unpaid committee of fans, Fanderson was formed in 1981 from several small clubs at the request of ITC Entertainment and Gerry Anderson, so that they could support a single independent fan body for all Anderson productions.

As a club, we can only sell merchandise to club members, which enables us to keep costs down and direct all our funds into our products and services. No-one running Fanderson takes a salary, ‘mutual trading’ with our members means we’re exempt from certain taxes that would inflate our prices, and copyright holders are often willing to forego the expensive merchandise licences that commercial companies have to buy. And, because we’re fellow fans like you, we try to take time and care over the little details in our products that commercial operations often can’t or don’t bother about.
