Hi Clare

You are forgiven for the mix-up regarding the Spinners ;-)

Well obviously Gerry Anderson had some input over the UFO strip as he co-owned the company that published the Countdown comic (TV21 productions). And I am pretty sure he would have had a say over 'The Snatch' serial as it does something the show doesn't do which is fully reveal the aliens and their homeworld)

Even Star Wars creator George Lucas had some input over the Star Wars comic published by Marvel in the 70s (for example he would not let the Marvel writers do any 'crossover' stories between the 'Marvel Universe' and 'Star Wars'  -  thank God :)
