<p>Royal Mail is celebrating the work of puppeteer Gerry Anderson with a new set of special &#8220;motion stamps&#8221;. </p>
<p>Anderson created the characters from cult TV programmes such as Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Stingray.</p>
<p>FAB: The Genius Of Gerry Anderson kicks off the 2011 Royal Mail Special Stamps calendar.</p>
<p>The programmes celebrated on the main issue of stamps are Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90, Fireball XL5, Supercar and Stingray.</p>
<p>In addition, a miniature sheet of four &#8220;motion&#8221; stamps has been specially printed which, when they are tilted back and forth, show the opening sequence of Thunderbirds, with each craft, 1-4, counting down to launch.</p>
<p>Anderson said: &#8220;I feel incredibly proud that my work has been chosen to appear on a set of Royal Mail stamps, and to see actual animation of the opening scenes of Thunderbirds appear on the motion stamps is really wonderful.&#8221;</p>
<p>The latest stamps celebrate the 50th anniversary of Anderson&#8217;s programmes which began with Supercar in 1961.</p>
<p>Philip Parker, from the Royal Mail, said: &#8220;Gerry Anderson&#8217;s ingenuity and inventiveness caused a sensation in the 1960s.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re delighted that, 50 years on, we are able to recognise and celebrate his work on our first stamp issue of 2011.&#8221;</p>
