For readers of a certain vintage, 54321 FAB! offers a not-to-be-missed opportunity to take a nostalgic stroll down memory lane. 

The subject of the exhibition is the much-loved 1960s television series of Gerry & Sylvia Anderson, numbered among which were Stingray, Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons, Joe 90, Fireball XL5 and - arguably most famously - Thunderbirds. 

Original puppets - including Lady Penelope and Joe 90 - and a number of models (Fireball XL5, Stingray and the Thunderbirds crafts) are all included in the display, as is original comic and production design art and a huge collection of 1960s memorabilia. 

Commenting on the exhibition, Museums Worcestershire Senior Curator Deborah Fox said: “We pride ourselves on providing top family fun for the summer holidays, and this year is a true classic. Visitors can re-live their childhood through Thunderbirds and friends, and share their memories with their families. We might even inspire some new fans!”

The exhibition has been made possible with the support of Fanderson, the official Gerry & Sylvia Anderson Appreciation Society.

This year’s Worcester Show is also following the 60s theme, so prepare for a day of family fun, entertainment, food and community competitions when the Worcester Show is back at Pitchcroft on Sunday 9 August. Find out more at worcestershow.org.uk
