Damn. I watched and greatly enjoyed most of those shows.
Rest well Mr Anderson, you’ve earned it far more than most.

In addition to Star Trek, UFO, and Space:1999 were boyhood sci-fi staples.
We also wouldn't have Team America: World Police if it weren't for Anderson.

Loved his shows when I was a kid back in the 1970s, especially Space 1999.

How many of you sixties kids remember this Gerry Anderson
Fireball XL5 theme song? My brothers and I would sing it incessantly. (Shenanigans was also a killer show!)

One of my favorite shows:
Stingray Marina was hot.

UFO was truly extraordinary for several reasons.
First and foremost was fashion, and it is a good question whether it was heavily influenced from Star Trek, but with the keen fashion sense the British had at the time. Produced in 1970-71, but supposedly taking place in 1980, men wore “Beatle boots”, had Star Trek pointed sideburns, wore synthetic Nehru jackets, etc. The women’s fashions were amazing, but not as glamorous as “Star Trek guest star” outfits.
The car the lead character drove was a Ford Zephyr-Zodiac Mk IV, but modified to look like a DeLorean, before there were DeLoreans.
The plot-lines were pretty brutal at times, and as the lead character observed in one episode: “They may be years ahead of the human race, but we’ve got one thing they haven’t: bloody-mindedness. It built this planet.”

Gerry Anderson's "Thunderbirds" was one of my favorite shows as a kid. And before that, his "Supercar" (with Mike Mercury).
To: the scotsman
Enjoyed his projects. RIP.
To: the scotsman
loved Supercar but was too old by the time Thunderbirds came out.
but I did love this bit of disgusting satire and homage to Thunderbirds
