Candy and Andy Update

Back in November I wrote this post about the strange world of "Candy and Andy" - a proposed television series by Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson.

I thought I had seen the worst of Candy and Andy, but a reader in Indiana has just emailed this disturbing image of a day in the park:

Greg writes: "Possibly the most disturbing photo of all. Why are Andy's shorts so tight? What's with Candy's upskirt? And why is Andy looking at her that way?"

It's a great pity that Gerry Anderson didn't even make a pilot episode, but this clip from another Anderson puppets and people series called "The Investigator" is a tantalising glimpse of the madness that could have been "Candy and Andy - Series One".

  2. Poor Andy. His interest in girls started at a very young age. I think he was a big influence on my sexual development. I think he's enjoying pushing Candy on the swing! I was never sure if she was his friend or his sister. Sometimes I was a little jealous believing their plasticity was due to a bygone eugenics experiment! He doesn't look the type to leave your children with!

  4. Wonderful! Thanks Nick.

    Does Candy have a small piercing in her nose when she's about to kill Mr Bearanda?

  6. Yes it looks very very disturbing indeed. Why is Andy looking that way.. It looks as though is child molester in the background..

    I remember these, but when I discussed them with my brother, he didn't, even when i found a photo of them in a magazine. In the above photo, Andy looks like a cross between Chucky and Scorpio from Dirty Harry!
