 October 8, 2018 - 9:04am | Good Morning All, I recently saw that all the episodes of Space 1999 and UFO are on YouTube in an unaltered format. While I wish I had a link to paste, I'm at work and it's at home. However, I had read that no one had purchased the rights from the Andersons, and with their deaths, the rights died with them. Anyone else hear about this? I've been watching them, just in case they go away. I had forgotten just how awful an actress Barbara Bain truly is. Thanks =) You can't argue with the invincibly ignorant. - William F. Buckley |

The Anderson's son and daughter are still actively promoting all things Thunderbirds, etc: https://shop.gerryanderson.co.uk/pages/about-the-official-gerry-anderson-shop The simple fact of the matter is that a lot of stuff ends up on YouTube, and stuff from the UK tends to get blanked by YouTube, possibly because the latter is an American operation and isn't savvy with non-US stuff (unless it's music and possibly things from the BBC and other UK TV channels). Pretty much every single episode of quite a lot of British TV is on YouTube in an unofficial form - ditto for Daily Motion and other places. |

So if they just died, the copyright goes to their heirs for another 70 years. Ad Astra Per Ardua!
