	Sylvia and Gerry Anderson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anderson was born Gerald Alexander Abrahams on 14 April 1929 in Hampstead, London.
		Gerry Anderson began his career in photography and after the war he secured a traineeship with the British Colonial Film Unit.
		Gerry Anderson was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 2001, and is still working on new projects, including the CGI version of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, titled Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet (which debuted in 2005).

	Gerry Anderson [1929 - ] @ EOFFTV (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A Gerry Anderson explosion was a thing of wonder to many a pre-teen in the 60s who revelled in a succession of increasingly sophisticated puppet operas that indulged every young boy's [and a few young girl's] fantasies about technology, power and action.
		Anderson's fledgling film career was temporarily disrupted in 1947 when he was called up for National Service, a duty he served in the RAF as a radio telephone operator and later a direction finder on an airfield.
		Anderson had decided that if he had to work with puppets, he'd make the best puppet show that the meagre budget, resources and technology would allow and the show was well-received by the public.

	Gerry Anderson annuals and books - buying and selling on the internet.
		Although Gerry Anderson's early television productions are not as popular with collectors as the later programmes, and many Gerry Anderson collectors may not even have been aware that he was associated with 'Twizzle", the books are rare and consequently of some value.
		This series was actually quite popular, but it is not really a Gerry Anderson series in the sense that it did not have his touch with 'high-tech' props and special effects.
		Although older Gerry Anderson fans were largely unimpressed, it appears he reached a new audience of young children with the series.

	Science Fiction Weekly Interview
		Anderson: I have to be honest to you, I don't want this to sound as if I'm terribly conceited, but had I made the picture myself, it would have been a very, very different picture.
		Anderson: It was originally shot in 35mm, you see, but it was shot in Eastman Color, which means that the negative tends to get washed out after a long time.
		Anderson: Round about the time when I knew I was going to be asked by Lew Grade, my boss, "What are you going to do next, Gerry?" there was a terrible mining disaster in Germany.

	Producers: Gerry Anderson
		Gerry was more introspective [than Sylvia], excepting when he had a couple of drinks after work, when he'd open up a bit.
		Gerry's hard and fast in the sense that his brilliance is the technical side but when you come to story terms, Gerry has very simple ideas and all the better they are for it.
		Anderson has attended many conventions, including the 1978 US convention and most of the Fanderson conventions (from 1981).

	Gerry Anderson — the first famous TV producer? Part 1
		Again the series was a success, and Anderson tried to sell Granada on his next project, Supercar, about a vehicle which could fly, travel on the ground or go under the sea.
		Anderson by now realised that he was tied to the puppets just as surely as were their strings, after a couple of live-action projects failed to take off.
		In a 1980 interview, Anderson admitted that the hardest trick his puppeteers had to master was making the stars walk.

	Space: 1999 Catacombs: Gerry Anderson Productions
		Gerry Anderson productions were distinctive: futuristic adventures with amazing technology and plenty of (literally) explosive action.
		The first live action series for Anderson was an unexpected hit in the US in 1972, and preparation began for a second series in 1973.
		Anderson created the series but did not produce it; he removed his name from the episodes.

	GERRY ANDERSON BIOGRAPHY
		Anderson made his film industry debut in 1946 as assistant editor for director Arthur Crabtree and producer Harold Huth on Caravan, a period romantic drama starring Stewart Granger and Jean Kent.
		Anderson also approached Anglo Amalgamated who gave him £16,000 to produce and direct his first feature film, Crossroads To Crime, a live-action thriller, but the failure of Crossroads to Crime in comparison to the success of the puppet series resigned Anderson to the fact that his company's immediate future lay with marionation.
		Anderson's official biography, "Gerry Anderson: The Authorised Biography" written by Simon Archer and Stan Nicholls, was published in hardback by Legend Books (a division of Random House) in 1996, and a paperback edition was published the following year.

	Starship Modeler - Gerry Anderson Gallery
		By this time, however, the magic was somehow missing, and Anderson began the transition to live-action programs, beginning with UFO in 1969 (my own favourite nonetheless) and continuing into the '70s with the visually stunning, but often nonsensical, Space: 1999.
		Still more recently, several stars of the Anderson fleet have been realized as enormous and extremely expensive "studio-scale replicas." Unfortunately, the truly obsessed collectors to which these kits are pitched must dedicate a) half their annual salaries to acquire them in any numbers, and b) several hundred square feet of museum-quality space to display them.
		Regardless of size, however, all Anderson models benefit from a good old-fashioned dirtying down, applied with care and creativity and mindful of the scale of the subject at hand.

	Gerry Anderson FAQ
		Gerry Anderson is a British producer who was to British TV in the 60's what Walt Disney was to U.S. TV in the 50's -- THE purveyor of children's television.
		The series is considered the "fl sheep" of the Anderson family due to its lack of success in the U.S. and its complete lack of connectivity with any of the other Anderson series, though series co-star Tony Anholt went on to play Tony Verdeschi in the second season of SPACE:1999.
		Gerry Anderson co-produced the video, using the THUNDERBIRDS puppets in non-speaking roles throughout the video--which, like most videos, has very little to do with the actual lyrics of the song.

	Gerry Anderson Fandom
		The real problem is that Gerry Anderson fandom is essentially this large, unbending body with a limited set of opinions, defined by the editorial voice of the society magazine.
		The basic mindset of Fanderson is that everything Gerry ever made is brilliant, except for a few isolated examples that the consensus of fandom says it’s OK to hate.
		There are fans for whom Gerry Anderson is just a name on the credits, which may be the best place for him...

		Classic series after series was created by this duo, but once her name falls off the credits during Space 1999, Gerry's career falls off the rails too.
		Less than 100 pages of this 300 page book are devoted to the last twenty years of Gerry's career, but we must not dwell on that two long - the dynamic duo of Gerry and Sylvia left us with some of the best British science fiction television ever made.

	Cinescape - Home - Editorial
		Gerry Anderson, and his track record would make any self-respecting U.S. producer shake in his boots: 17 television programs, virtually all of which now rate as cult successes, spawning mountains of merchandise, record albums, action figures and toy vehicles as well as a hugely popular series of DVDs unleashed in America by AandE.
		When the production company he had started with some associates failed to obtain any projects, a writer of children’s books offered them 52 15-minute scripts to be made as a television show.
		To Anderson, that sounded like a recipe to keep him exactly where he was, so he quickly began applying every technique he knew for live action filming to the puppet shows.
