Dick Spanner, P.I. [DVD] (Region 2)

10 reviews

Trust badges

Produced by legendary Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson, this tongue-in-cheek stop-motion animation series introduced the questionable talents of "The galaxy's strangest private investigator" – a Chandleresque robot detective who operates in a futuristic parallel universe!

Anderson's long-term collaborator Shane Rimmer (who famously provided the voice of Thunderbird pilot Scott Tracy) voices the wisecracking stop-motion P.I. as he bungles his way through two intriguing cases over twenty-two hilarious episodes: The Case of the Human Cannon-ball and The Case of the Maltese Parrot. Alongside these two stories – presented here as digital restorations in their as-transmitted format – this set also includes:

  • The Case of the Screaming Dame – a brand-new, two-part story animatic
  • Compilation versions of both original stories
  • Extensive image galleries
  • The Case of the Missing Episode
  • PDF material

        A Missed Classic Silliness

        Feels even better than when I first remember seeing it, I was a teen watching channel 4's new program network7 in the 80s, aimed at teenagers. My parents loved it also, I purchased the DVD, the odd family, friend and neighbour wanted to borrow it, so I bought a handful and gave them out as peasants. The Gerry Anderson store experience was excellent, I ordered from the easy-to-use site, processed next day, shipped the next, arrived quickly, 4 days in all.

        Hilarious

        This is so funny I think more should be made. Spanner wanders through life missing everything around him. A great character and plenty of laughter.

        Finally...

        ...I get to piece together hazy childhood memories. Excellent customer service from the GA store as well. Terrahawks and Eagle transporters are the next on the shopping list.
