Book Description
For 50 years, producer Gerry Anderson has entertained television viewers with his own unique style of programs, presenting futuristic action-adventure stories in a variety of visual media ranging from Supermarionation puppetry and live action combined with state-of-the-art model effects to animatronics, stop-motion, and CGI animation. In this revised volume, Chris Bentley details all of Gerry Anderson's productions, including not only such cult television series such as Thunderbirds, UFO, and Space:1999, but also his feature films and unseen pilot episodes. The book also includes story synopses, production dates, broadcast details, full cast and crew lists, script changes, missing scenes, continuity errors and miscellaneous trivia from over 500 television episodes. This new edition also includes more than 60 color photographs as well as behind-the-scenes information from Gerry Anderson's 2005 series, Captain Scarlet.

Book Description
Meticulous research and painstaking attention to detail have gone into these multiangle views and cutaways. Skydiver, the futuristic gull-wing cars, the SHADO interceptors, the Space Intruder Detector, and installations such as SHADO's Moonbase complex have never looked so exciting or so realistic. Nick Foreman's CGI illustrations--the first time this technique has been used in an official Gerry Anderson book--are accompanied by detailed notes on design, specification, and performance. Following in the footsteps of "The Complete Book of Gerry Anderson's UFO," this book will be a must-have purchase for all true Anderson fans.

Book Description
Starring internationally renowned actors Martin Landau, Barbara Bain, Barry Morse and Catherine Schell, the British-made Space: 1999 was the only truly original space adventure of the mid-1970s. Sandwiched between the demise of the original Star Trek and the opening of the Stars Wars series on the big screen, Space: 1999 featured a richly-visualized world where space was terrifying and mysterious, where not all problems were solvable by technology and the space travelers were very human. From the science fiction show's conception in 1973 to its cancellation in 1977, this reference work covers each of the 48 episodes in depth, including a full plot synopsis, writer, director, guest star credits, and critical commentary that examines both the episode and other shows that have used similar plotlines. The popularity of Space: 1999 memorabilia and its many fan clubs are fully discussed, along with the possibility of a future movie or reunion show that would tie up the loose ends caused by the show's abrupt cancellation.
