Hard to imagine the 60's and 70's without him... a true one off who will be fondly remembered. R.I.P.

He should gain recognition for his work in overseeing special effects,
His main talent was getting the right team around him and letting them create. His work in puppetry though was very negative and managed to really cast a negative shadow over that art form which hung around for a very long time. |

Very sad news indeed. Gerry was a true television pioneer and innovator. His shows will live long in the memory. RIP Gerry.

Oh no. Mr Anderson has been a hero of mine since his earliest 'Supermarionation' series. He and his team (including Derek Meddings the model and effects man) moved the art of model filming techniques forward by leaps & bounds, and some of his later shows like UFO and Space 1999 were as good as anything seen in the cinema at the time. I'm so saddened by this news, and my heart goes out to this wonderful man's family and friends. Thanks for making millions of schoolboys happy, Gerry.

Pretty amazing that he managed to capture the imagination of 2 generations of children. Kids TV these days is absolutely abysmal.

<<<<<<<<< Gutting news.
Remember him for the live action stuff, it’s what he would’ve wanted. UFO, Space 1999, Journey to the Far Side of the Sun/Doppelganger etc.. Those and the quite superb CGI Captain Scarlet. R.I.P.F.A.B. |

I saw the tributes to him on the news. They showed all of his puppet series and Space 1999 but didn't mention UFO, which was one of my favourites.
F.A.B. Gerry. Thanks for the wonderful childhood TV memories. R.I.P. |

So sad to hear this. I have always been a big Thunderbirds fan and truly respected his legacy of programming.
May he rest in peace. |

Major part of my childhood also. Infact all the family could enjoy the show. All ages. All the characters were so memorable and the spaceships/cars,etc. All perfect really. I bought Thunderbird models and captain scarlett cars. Never forget them
