- Newsnight tribute to Gerry Anderson 11/1/13.
I went to Gerry's funeral today and it was a very touching experience. Around 300 people attended the service to pay their respect. It was nice to see old friends and make new ones. All united due to the legacy of Gerry's work. From Twizzle to New Captain Scarlet, he was always at the top of his game. Thank you Gerry for all the happy memories your shows have given us. FAB.
never forgotten, thank you Gerry for making my childhood so wonderful (and my adulthood).
He will be missed forever.
I'm glad I was able to watch thunderbirds, stingray and captain Scarlett for my childhood
He was an icon to my generation... Godspeed, Mr Anderson!
Here in Italy the Thunderbirds arrived in the early 1970s, after UFO. I was 10 at the time, then came Space:1999. He was a visionary that made our childhood a happy place to be :-)
So True what Gerry said about Humans. we are our own worst enemy. Amazing man, i am 56, i remember Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Sting ray, fireball XL5, UFO, Space 1999 thank you for those shows Gerry they made my childhood and i still enjoy them today.
I loved Gerry Andersons shows even as a 90s kid, stingray, captain scarlet, thunderbirds, joe 90 and fireball xl5 were the best R.I.P.
What a wonderful tribute. Very sweet to hear such kind words from Shane Rimmer, David Graham and Liz Morgan. We'll miss you Gerry Anderson :(.
LEGEND. .such a part of my childhood. ...fab...
This was my childhood many years ago, and I still watch the series to this day. Thanks Gerry.
I had the privilege of seeing Gerry during his one man stage shows in 1992; I was 8 years old at the time and it was in sweltering summer in Salisbury, near Romsey where I lived back then, but it was one of the highlights of my childhood. Gerry was a true genius, a man who gave kids like me hours and hours of entertainment. His final comment in this clip about how humanity hasn't moved on is very true...what a shame that his science fiction couldn't become science fact. RIP Gerry, we miss you so much,
Thanks for the memories Gerry, you made one of the best shows ever
I love Gerry Anderson shows. 😄😀
So glad we got to see him and get an autograph! What a man he was!
Can't believe it was so little time ago... He was a pioneer in his craft and a legend and hero inside all of us...
True visionary, his legacy is being maintained and honoured by his son Jamie. Fireball XL5 is on the Talking Pictures Channel on Saturday afternoon and Thunderbirds starts next month on the same channel, free to view in UK

That's my grandad :(
Kelsey Anderson Really? prove it
not to sound rude but prove it
RIP
This dude rocked man! Some of that shit he did in the 60,s is better than the trash they got now! I loved the story about Jim Lovell! What a Fucking good dude he was! I,m sorry he has kicked it, Nice guy!
👍👍👍🇦🇷
Captain Scarlett in the eighties? That was late 60,s early 70,s? I always thought anyway Brian?
I would have so wanted to meet Gerry, but alas I ain't got no chance
His stuff has been so much better than all the crap you have on CBeebies!
wtf happened ? people had such great visions and achievements in the 60s...
The Destiny Angel actress was wrong. Good definitely did not always prevail in Captain Scarlet. In many episodes, Spectrum simply lost and the Mysterons won.
Thunderbirds also Attended The funeral Brains And lady Penelope Made fab one
