Honoured to attend the unveiling of a Blue Plaque at 24 Kersland St, birthplace of the late David McCallum. From The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and The Great Escape to NCIS, he became one of Glasgow's finest acting exports and a talent admired around the world.

In 1960 someone watched a black and white puppet western and produced this. It’s quite marvellous! #gerryanderson #sylviaanderson #fanderson
