Gerry Anderson and Christopher Burr’s Terrahawks turns 40 this autumn. On Saturday 8 October 1983, Terrahawks was broadcast for the very first time on ITV. The cult show was Anderson’s first in over a decade to use puppets for its characters, and also his last. Set in the year 2020, the series followed the adventures of the Terrahawks, a taskforce responsible for protecting Earth from invasion by a group of extraterrestrial androids and aliens led by Zelda. Like Anderson’s previous puppet series, futuristic vehicles and technology featured prominently in each episode. This soundtrack features the memorable opening theme, original musical cues from the show, hit singles released at the time of airing (sung by the character Kate Kestrel) and for the first time, a newly remastered version of the Terrahawks Suite performed by a full orchestra at the Stand By For Action! concert, recorded at Birmingham Symphony Hall in April 2022. BAFTA award winning British composer Richard Harvey has over 70 film and television scores to his credit which include Shroud For A Nightingale, Steaming, Tales Of The Unexpected, G.B.H. and Luther. A multi-instrumentalist alongside composing duties he has worked with a dazzling array of names that include Sir Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Hans Zimmer and Francis Ford Coppola.

ジェリー・アンダーソンとクリストファー・バーの『地球防衛軍テラホークス』がこの秋40周年となりました。1983年10月8日（土）、『地球防衛軍テラホークス』はITVで初めて放送された。このカルト番組は、アンダーソンが10年以上ぶりに登場人物に人形を使ったもので、彼の最後の作品でもあった。2020年を舞台にしたこのシリーズは、ゼルダ率いる地球外アンドロイドとエイリアンのグループによる侵略から地球を守るためのタスクフォース、テラホークたちの冒険を描いていた。アンダーソンが過去に手がけた人形劇シリーズ同様、近未来的な乗り物やテクノロジーが各エピソードに大きく登場した。
