The astonishing New Captain Scarlet premièred in 2005, by which time Gerry (then 76) was long past the age when most people consider retiring. In 2001 he was awarded an MBE for services to the British film industry. THE ADVENTURES OF TWIZZLE DVD SERIESIn the 1990s he created and produced the lavish live-action series Space Precinct, before returning to children’s entertainment with the enchanting Lavender Castle. He made a welcome return to puppetry for Terrahawks and brought the animated private detective Dick Spanner to the screen, while developing a parallel career as an award-winning director of sophisticated television commercials. He was never content to stand still, and his programmes became increasingly diverse in the 1980s. Live-action series UFO and Space: 1999 anticipated the accomplishments of Star Wars and are still regarded by many as his finest work. As the optimism of the 1960s faded, Gerry Anderson created darker scenarios for the new decade. THE ADVENTURES OF TWIZZLE DVD TVAn incredible feat unsurpassed by any other British TV and film producer. The names of the shows he produced during this era are familiar to millions, and continue to entertain audiences today.

From Fireball XL5 to Space: 1999, Captain Scarlet to Space Precinct, Supercar to Thunderbirds - he has become the UK's equivalent of Walt Disney. Years before the word ‘brand’ was popularly applied to television, Gerry’s name came to represent an inimitable style of entertainment that proved hugely successful around the world. Gerry Anderson was born on 14 April 1929, and through a combination of skill and an incredible level of determination earned his first credit as a producer when he was still in his 20s. ![]() THE ADVENTURES OF TWIZZLE DVD FULLThe films and music are brought to life by a full orchestra with a special appearance from BAFTA-winning composer, Anderson alumnus and conductor Richard Harvey.
