In 1966, at the height of the popularity of his “Supermarionation” TV shows, Gerry Anderson developed a concept for a new television series.

Andy goes to the diner to tell Max that he is going to say to Caroline that he loves her. Max helps him choose the best scenario to tell her, since according to her the diner is a horrible place. Andy then goes to his shop and sees Caroline and Max dressed up as cupcakes. He was going to tell her he loves her, but she ran away because she saw her friend Stacey. Caroline runs in his shop and see's him on the toilet. Embarrassed, Andy tells her he loves her. The new series was given a unanimous thumbs down by television executives, but undeterred, Anderson turned his idea into a publication franchise, spawning 154 issues of a comic and several books. The whole sorry episode lasted less than three years but it was long enough to screw-up a generation of under 5s. Gerry Anderson had hoped that this bizarre combination would take the World by storm, but sadly (or perhaps happily, on reflection) it was not to be.

In 1966, Candy, Andy and the Bearandas and their rainbow-striped Mini came to life at Century 21 studios in Slough. Created as a comic book, and a series of annuals and story books for young readers, Candy was the brainchild of Gerry Anderson, more widely known for his ‘supermarionation’ projects such as Stingray, Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet.
