## Resource

Mince pies at the ready! It's time for our Bumper Christmas Edition featuring our very special guest Paul McGann! Aside from an in-depth look at his life and times, Paul reveals who he played in childhood games of Thunderbirds and which Anderson series he'd appear in today... But just what is his reading on the Andermeter? And can he improve his score by singing the theme tune to Torchy and Fireball XL5? Using his trusty sonic screwdriver, Paul unlocks memories of watching Stingray and Captain Scarlet - and gets a few Christmas surprises along the way!
