Happy Gerry Anderson day!

Glad I could finally get this idea done (it's been in my head for 2 years now how awful), thought I should actually do sommat for GA day (mainly cause I've been so focused on other stuff it's nice to go back to it) but also not to be a sop but without GA and the shows created I would not have many friends at all, I've met so many people via these shows (mainly tbirds obvs) and I'm so glad for it! So love y'all and enjoy Ur day!

#no kapril post today fellas #this the focus #originally this was gonna have shows up to secret service but i couldnt work out how to put em together #gerry Anderson day #gerry anderson #four feather falls #supercar #fireball xl5 #stingray #thunderbirds

Space: 1999 Stars Barbara Bain & Nick Take Goes Board Documentary About Sci-Fi Show’s Legendary Spacecraft

Actress Barbara Bain, star of the British sci-fi series Space: 1999, is preparing to board an upcoming documentary about the Eagle, the famed spacecraft at the heart of the show that ran from 1975-1977.

Bain will appear in The Eagle Has Landed as will Nick Tate, her cast mate from Space: 1999. The documentary includes the participation of several other notable figures: Apollo XVI astronaut Charles Duke Jr., Academy Award-winning visual effects artist Bill George (Blade Runner, Star Trek), and Brian Johnson, the VFX artist on Space: 1999 whose work is said to have influenced Star Wars. The film is being directed and produced by Jeffrey Morris, who also hosts the documentary. 

The Eagle Has Landed “explores the cross-generational impact of the iconic vessel” in the series that also starred Martin Landau. According to a press release, the film “showcases never-before-seen archival footage” and will be released in time for the 50th anniversary of Space: 1999’s debut, in 2025.

“Space: 1999 appeared on TV a few short years after the world watched Neil Armstrong take the first steps on the moon,” Morris noted in a statement. “The show’s unforgettable Eagle inspired a generation to envision a future in space and is still doing so decades later. The question we explore is ‘why?’ What is it about this imaginary craft that has captured and held imaginations for nearly 50 years?

Morris’s FutureDude Entertainment is producing the documentary in partnership with Zero Point Zero Production Inc. Anne Marie Gillen is a producer on the project, along with Morris. The film is written by Morris and Fredrick Haugen. Morris is represented by Espada Entertainment.

Space: 1999 ran for a total of 48 episodes, with Bain and Landau in all of them as, respectively, Dr. Helena Russell and Commander John Koenig (the actors were married to each other at the time; they had previously co-starred together in Mission: Impossible).

The show revolved around the denizens of Moonbase Alpha, scientific researchers living on the moon whose existence was threatened by a nuclear explosion, which rocketed the moon out of Earth’s orbit. Tate, an Australian-born actor, played pilot Alan Carter on 42 of the show’s 48 episodes. Originally, his character was to be killed off in the premiere episode, a casualty of the nuclear explosion, but producers Gerry Anderson and Sylvia Anderson liked his work and expanded his role.

“Hovering above the Moon in one of Alpha’s Eagle spacecraft, Alan Carter is an observer to this holocaust, watching helplessly as the Moon spins out into space,” according to a synopsis published by the Catacombs.Space1999.net website. “Sacrificing his only chance to return home, Carter decides to give chase to the runaway Moon, joining his friends on the endless intergalactic journey.”

Tate told the website, “I didn’t have to dig too deeply with this character. Alan Carter was all the things I was as a young man: friendly, happy-go-lucky, someone who loved adventure and accepted a challenge.”

Ian McShane, Joan Collins, and Leo McKern were among actors who appeared in single episodes of Space: 1999.

Hard to believe it's a decade since Gerry Anderson died. Like many of my vintage, I grew up with reruns of Thunderbirds, Stingray and Captain Scarlet. A world of puppets where it didn't matter we could see the strings, the stories were enough to hold us with their wonder. We all had our favourites. Mine was Thunderbird 2.

Thunderbirds in particular reached beyond British morning TV. It was popular here in Japan, even acquiring a song to accompany the iconic theme. Barely a year ago my local cinema in Kobe played Thunderbirds Are Go. The year before that Thunderbird 2 was available as a toy in Toys R Us and Kiddiland. And yes, I did add it to my collection.

So on the tenth anniversary of his shuffling off this mortal coil, I'll raised a proverbial glass and say, "thanks" to Gerry Anderson for the years of enjoyment he brought. Not just for my nostalgia, but also the shared experience of watching and enjoying his shows with my children.

I'm sure it will be around for them to enjoy it with their own kids.

#Cheers Gerry Anderson #thunderbirds day #Thunderbirds Are Go

"It was on a night like this that my Elizabeth – my wife – told me she was pregnant,” he said, pensively. “On Christmas Eve.” [...] “I lost her in the following year. She was nearly ready to give birth but – we didn’t have the time to become parents. But that night, that Christmas Eve – it was the best day I ever had, in all my life.” - Silent Night, Snow Night, by Chris Bishop

🌟🤍Happy Father's Day 🤍🌟

Since I had forgotten that today's Father's Day, why not I'll post this lovely CSatM I drew as a gift for Chris Bishop on Spectrum HQ.com ^^

I think this is fitting for this day, since Charles Gray is pretty much a father-figure to his officers, whenever he knows it or not. And this scene from Chris' fanfic that I was inspired to draw captured this part of his personality (as well as his relationship with Scarlet) perfectly! 😊🤍❤️

I bring to you terror and joy.

The terror comes from this being the opening to a Gerry Anderson Supermarionation series. The technology to make these shows was amazing, using radio controlled faces with expertly puppeteered bodies to make affordable sci-fi for kids.

The outsized heads and lack of "chibification" however, made them beautifully uncanny. Delicious nightmares made plastic.

The joy is from the jaunty little ending credits tune "My Heart would be a Fireball", a wacky little pop love song in which the singer professes that his love is akin to the ship in the series. And you know how I love a kid's show theme trying really hard to be a pop song.

Also the main character's name is "Steve Zodiac" and not enough shows have the commitment to sparkle motion to do stuff like that these days.

I JUST FOUND OUT LADY PENELOPE IS SUPPOSED TO BE 26 EVEN IN TOS???????? SHE'S NOT A 40-YEAR-OLD GIRLBOSS WHO'S BEST FRIENDS WITH JEFF TRACY????????????? THEY DON'T FALL IN LOVE AT THE END????????? I'M SO CONFUSED............ 😭 after briefly sitting in shock (LMAO) i did a ton of frantic research and there are a lot of conflicting sources and ages, but APPARENTLY according to the Magical World of Gerry Anderson book, she's "an old friend of Jeff's from his Agency days", so. i'm sorry but as far as i'm concerned she is in her 40s and they're Appropriately Aged Adult Friends the way she's written in TOS feels so much more like she's an adult friend of jeff tracy's with history and inside jokes and motherly instinct/advice for the boys?? so this being said, please know that when i (eventually) draw her, it's always always always going to be 40-something!Penelope 😭 i promise i would not ship 56-year-old jeff tracy with someone in their 20s!!! thank you for coming to my Ted Talk :'^) (idk if anyone else feels this way too but if you do please lmk that i'm not alone dghjkfldhgfjkd)

#thunderfam #PLEASE FORGIVE ME....... i'm so glad i googled her age before making jeff/penelope art bc if i had realized this AFTER I MADE ART........ #(SCREAMS............... 26 YEARS OLD....... THERE'S JUST NO WAY.......) #anyway. penny is 40-something to me #i hope you all still accept me ToT #thunderbirds #thunderbirds tos #thunderbirds 1965 #thunderbirds are go
