Yes, it's true. Gerry Anderson's official website reports that conductor Charles Hazlewood and members of Portishead, Goldfrapp, Get The Blessing and Loose Tubes will be performing the legendary Barry Gray-penned scores to the seminal kids' shows in a 45 minute set at Glasto this summer.

Just when you thought Glastonbury couldn't get any better eh?

The rest of the line-up is expected in the coming weeks, with Metallica strongly rumoured to be the Saturday night headliner.
Glastonbury festival takes place at Worthy Farm in Somerset from Wednesday 25 to Sunday 29 June, 2014.
Below: If not Metallica, who else could it be? The 'biggest-selling bands' that could headline Saturday at Glastonbury
Coldplay: Undoubtedly one of the most successful acts on the planet right now and with no UK festivals announced around their upcoming new album, Ghost Stories, could we see Chris Martin and co return? They've headlined three times before with the last only in 2011, so they're practically the Glasto house band. Is it a bit too safe and predictable though?
Daft Punk: Random Access Memories was one of the biggest selling and most dominant albums in recent memory. Could we 'Get Lucky' and see the dance duo come out of live retirement and bring a lot of disco awesomeness and special guests to Worthy Farm?
Radiohead: One of the most influential, seminal and successful UK bands of all time, Thom Yorke and co are well overdue a return to headlining Glasto, after last doing so in 2003 before a run of surprise secret sets. Plus, there are those rumours about the connection between the Glastonbury poster and their King Of Limbs artwork, so who knows?
Kings Of Leon: They're flipping massive, and just happen to be touring the UK and Europe around Glasto time...
The Killers: They're doing a victory lap around the world the push their Direct Hits best of album, with shows announced at V Festival and such. Could they return to top their 2007 Glasto headline slot?
Foo Fighters: One of the biggest names in rock, yet they've never headlined Glasto. With a new album due soon and soon UK shows announced, could that all be about to change?
