Celebrating The Secret Service's Stanley Unwin | The Gerry Anderson Podcast

A bit left field and a bit strange.

Our very special guest is none other than Lois Unwin Johnston.

Stanley Unwin's daughter.

Who apparently frolicked

on the floor in the kitchen.

Nobody else present, you know.

I was looking how long it had taken.

Anything can happen in the next half hour.

Hello, I'm Richard James.

What's going on? Well, we're singing a bit of a

Secret Service theme today.

Yeah.

You may have noticed.

I see, that's the opening theme.

Firstly, in answer to your question, I'm Chris Dale.

This gentleman over here is Mr. Ross

Arrowsmith.

Hi, Ross.

Hello.

What are you singing and why? I'm singing the theme tune to The Secret Service, which is super catchy, a bit left field and a bit strange, but fits perfectly.

With a bit left field and strange, The Secret Service

itself.

Indeed, yes.

I would say.

And normally any time is a good time to sing The Secret Service theme, but particularly today when our very special guest is none other than Lois Unwin Johnston,

who's Stan Hill Yes.

So she knew him quite well.

She did indeed, that's right.

She's going to be along to tell us some lovely stories about her father and his work.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's right.

Something of a family affair, because Will will also be joining us, who is Lois's son, so Stanley Unwin's grandson.

So that's rather lovely.

Yes.

And they'll have lots of stories from Stanley's career and life and...

Yeah, look, they gave us a book.

It's nice, isn't it?

Yeah.

There we go.

What else have

we got coming up in

this month's podcast? Well, I suppose we might have a random episode of a random Gerry Anderson series.

Yes, that'll be fun.

That'd be nice.

Anything else, Ross? I think that sounds good, really.

Voice the

podsterons as

well.

There we go.

That's what I was aiming for.

Well done.

I saw the look of panic in his eyes.
