From Anderson on the Box to the Gerry Anderson show, the presenter’s unique style and mischievous sense of humour set him apart from other broadcasters. He, along with his side-kick, presenter Sean Coyle, delighted audiences on BBC Radio Ulster with their banter and comic bickering on the daily mid-morning phone-in show. Steven Rainey rummages through the archive and extracts the best stories and clips of Gerry Anderson’s 30 year career. With contributions from Sean Coyle, Ian Kennedy, listeners and friends Steven celebrates the stellar career of a broadcasting great.
