The 2011 Royal Mail 'The Genius of Gerry Anderson'- Illustrated Mint Stamps & Miniature Sheet Presentation Pack.Issued on 11th January 2011. The Royal Mail has produced these stamps to acknowledge the genius of Gerry Anderson and to celebrate this 50th year anniversary of a TV revolution sparked when Anderson's first creation, 'Supercar' was broadcast. This fully illustrated Presentation Pack contains mint examples of the Royal Mail's set of six Gerry Anderson stamps together with a mint miniature sheet of four more stamps which are contined in a separately designed carrier. Inside the pack there is a printed commentary by Gerry Anderson expert, Chris Bentley, who discusses with Anderson about how his shows were devised. The miniature sheet's carrier card explains how the 'Microlenticular Technology' works in the words of Thunderbird's 'boofin', Brains. These four groundbreaking stamps produced by the Microlenticular Technology are the very first Royal Mail 'Motion Stamps'. Just by tipping the stamps at an angle you can see the classic opening sequences of Thunderbirds 1 to 4 taking off, making the stamps a unique collector's item! The pack also contains a four-page folded 'comic' in the style of the 1960's kids classic comic, TV Century 21, which goes between the pack and carrier card - essential reading for Anderson fans! The insert is illustrated by Gerry Embleton, one of the original TV Century 21 illustrators, together with text written by Stephen La Riviere which tells the story of how Thunderbirds came about.
