Today would have been Dad’s 90th birthday. Thinking of all he achieved in TV and film across his incredible 60 year career. Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Space 1999 and many more.
Let me know your favourite show and raise a glass to the old man today.

Happy birthday, Dad. He would have been 93 today, and despite no longer being here, I see and feel his impact every day. He made millions of childhoods a better place to be, and continues to inspire people all over the world.

My dear old grandma very sadly passed away yesterday afternoon. She made it to 100 during lockdown back in April, but had a rough last few months. With lockdowns and the anniversary of Dad’s passing on 26th - it’s a very different Christmas this year...
Happy 94th birthday to the legendary David Graham - the man behind the voices of Parker, Brains, Gordon Tracy and many other brilliant characters. What a nice chap he is too!
#Thunderbirds
It’s an incredibly sad day today as my brother Gerry Jr has very sadly passed away following a long battle with a brain tumour. A smart, kind and thoughtful man. I didn’t get to know him for nearly long enough. Sending love to my sisters and Gerry’s family 💖
Happy 60th Anniversary to
@bbcdoctorwho
! Gerry Anderson never worked on the long running sci-fi series, but there are lots of crazy connections! How many do you know about?
#AnderWho
So, it’s time to bid a sad farewell to Matt Zimmerman. Always great fun every time our paths crossed. Another voice gone from the ranks of the Tracy brothers. Condolences to all who knew him.
I’m so very sad to share the news that the glorious Denise Bryer has died aged 93. She was absolutely amazing, so kind and my surrogate grandmother. I’m heartbroken that she’s gone. But I feel very lucky to have known her.
A very sad day today saying goodbye to Shane Rimmer. A beautiful service with wonderful words from family and friends alike. But he will always live on as the iconic voice of Scott Tracy. Thank you, Shane. It was a pleasure to know you.
In the 1980s the U.S. Army figured that around half of the landmass on the planet was impassable by conventional wheeled or tracked vehicle, so it partnered with Ohio State University to build this: the Adaptive Suspension Vehicle

This is my TARDIS!!
I couldn’t quite believe it when this materialised (via courier) on my doorstep. A totally unexpected, unbelievably kind, generous and thoughtful gift from
@BriggsNicholas
. What an amazing friend eh? Just so touched by this lovely gesture.
My lovely Grandma Beryl is 100 today. Sadly I can’t see her because of the COVID lockdown so just had a video call with her instead. Any and all birthday wishes for her appreciated. She definitely deserves them!
Very sad news about Michael Jayston. Many years ago we got to reunite him with Wanda Ventham to reminisce about UFO. It was a lovely day and he was a kind and good humoured man. I also got to geek out about meeting the Valeyard - which he was most amused by.
So sad to hear about Nicholas Parsons. He had a 6-decade long association with the worlds of
@GerryAndersonTV
. From Four Feather Falls to Terrahawks. Thoughts with his family and friends.

! Thanks to this show I’ve made great friendships, had the opportunity to work on it with the marvellous

, and have loved every minute along the way. Here’s to 60 years in the TARDIS! ❤️❤️
I’ve had goosebumps so many times today during our
@GerryAndersonTV
documentary shoot for
@BritBox_UK
. Amazing stories, emotional revelations and gorgeous visuals. If you like any of Dad’s shows, you won’t want to miss this!
Excited to see that

What a lovely response today. I’ve been completely overwhelmed with thousands of tweets and messages. Thank you all so much for your kind words about Dad and his impact on your lives
#CheersGerryAnderson
Sorry to say that Dad’s little dog, Mickey - named after his childhood dog, died this afternoon. Dad got Mickey as a puppy towards the end of his life to comfort him while he was living with Alzheimer’s Disease. Another connection gone.
Thank you for everything,
@networktweets
. Anderfans all over the world have a lot to be grateful for. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the closure of Network Distributing.
To everything that might have been.
To everything that was.
And to everything that is still to come.
Gerry Anderson's legacy lives on!

I should add that yes - that is me - age 7 with my very own (crap) TB2 with Dad holding one built by the marvellous Richard Gregory - who we sadly lost this year.
I very rarely post about stuff like this, because there's enough negativity in the world, but I am so utterly appalled by what's going on in the UK. We are all being gouged, and are too busy infighting between left and right, manufacturing culture wars. It's beyond bonkers..
£3.3 billion in profits.
Three times as much as the previous year.
Meanwhile, millions are struggling to pay their bills. Absolutely revolting

I am devastated to report that my dear friend and colleague Richard Gregory passed away suddenly and unexpectedly last week. If you knew Richard you will have experienced his incredible warmth, creativity, talent, enthusiasm and kindness. 1/10)

What a treat to receive this card for my birthday from Joe 90…
It reads:
Dear Jamie
Joe here, wishing you a very happy birthday. I've got a surprise for you later this month. You're going to love it, you big rat!
With best birthday wishes,
Your friend

This is actually extremely exciting. Thank you
@TalkingPicsTV
for making this happen. Time for another generation to enjoy classic Thunderbirds (and for many more to enjoy it all over again!)
Just seen the viewing stats for
#Terrahawks
on Amazon Prime Video... bonkers! Brilliant! More streams in a week than a lot of current TV shows. And people are loving seeing it again 😊😊😊
Over the last few months my work has been heavily focused on the TARDIS interiors of the past, present and future. In anticipation of several bits of work being published in the coming weeks, and just for fun, here's my own take on the ship.
Very sad to hear that Zienia Merton has left us. She spoke briefly at Dad's wake back in 2013, and gave me some very kind and comforting words at just the right point that day. She was a lovely lady.
Farewell to my gorgeous old boy, Eric. Nearly 14 years old which was amazing for a giant breed. Handsome, kind, often naughty, grumpy, loving and always in the way. Thanks for being a brilliant companion 💔❤️
Spent the day with 250
#DoctorWho
fans. Friendly, fun, inquisitive and really polite people.
Left the event and went to Derby station. 250 football fans there. Rowdy, aggressive, unpleasant and behaving dangerously. Large police presence required.
What a contrast.
