Other television productions of the period included <i><a href="/wiki/Stingray_(1964_TV_series)" title="Stingray (1964 TV series)">Stingray</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Captain_Scarlet_and_the_Mysterons" title="Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons">Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Joe_90" title="Joe 90">Joe 90</a></i>. </p><p>Anderson also wrote and produced several feature films, including <i><a href="/wiki/Doppelg%C3%A4nger_(1969_film)" class="mw-redirect" title="Doppelgänger (1969 film)">Doppelgänger</a></i> (aka <i>Journey to the Far Side of the Sun</i>, 1969).

Provis left the partnership, but the company retained the name AP Films for several more years. <i>Four Feather Falls</i> was the first Anderson series to use an early version of the so-called <i><a href="/wiki/Supermarionation" title="Supermarionation">Supermarionation</a></i> process, though this term had yet to be used. </p><p>Despite APF's success with <i>Four Feather Falls</i>, Granada did not commission another series from them, so Anderson took up the offer to direct a film for <a href="/wiki/Anglo-Amalgamated" title="Anglo-Amalgamated">Anglo-Amalgamated</a> Studios. <i><a href="/wiki/Crossroads_to_Crime" title="Crossroads to Crime">Crossroads to Crime</a></i> was a low-budget B-grade crime thriller, and although Anderson hoped that its success might enable him to move into mainstream film-making, it failed at the box office. </p><p>By this time, APF was in financial trouble and the company was struggling to find a buyer for their new puppet series. They were rescued by a fortuitous meeting with <a href="/wiki/Lew_Grade" title="Lew Grade">Lew Grade</a>, the Associated Television (<a href="/wiki/Associated_TeleVision" class="mw-redirect" title="Associated TeleVision">ATV</a>) boss who offered to buy the show.

Sylvia took on a larger role and became a partner in the company. The series was also the official debut of Supermarionation, the electronic system that made the marionettes more lifelike and convincing on screen. The system used the audio signal from pre-recorded tapes of the actors' voices to trigger <a href="/wiki/Solenoid" title="Solenoid">solenoids</a> installed in the heads of the puppets, making their lips move in synchronisation with the voices of the actors, and actresses. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:NMM_Supermarionation_puppets_2106.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/23/NMM_Supermarionation_puppets_2106.jpg/220px-NMM_Supermarionation_puppets_2106.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="221" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/23/NMM_Supermarionation_puppets_2106.jpg/330px-NMM_Supermarionation_puppets_2106.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/23/NMM_Supermarionation_puppets_2106.jpg/440px-NMM_Supermarionation_puppets_2106.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2136" data-file-height="2148" /></a><figcaption>A selection of Gerry Anderson marionettes seen at the <a href="/wiki/National_Media_Museum" class="mw-redirect" title="National Media Museum">National Media Museum</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bradford" title="Bradford">Bradford</a>.</figcaption></figure> <p>One of Anderson's most successful ventures was inaugurated during the production of <i>Supercar</i>. The establishment of AP Films (Merchandising) Ltd, a separate company set up to handle the licensing of merchandising rights for APF properties, was headed by Keith Shackleton (not the wildlife artist and TV presenter of the same name), a longtime friend of Anderson's from their <a href="/wiki/National_Service" class="mw-redirect" title="National Service">National Service</a> days. </p><p>The next series by APF was the futuristic space adventure <i><a href="/wiki/Fireball_XL5" title="Fireball XL5">Fireball XL5</a></i> (1962). At the time it was the company's biggest success, garnering the honour of being the only Anderson series sold to an American TV network, <a href="/wiki/NBC" title="NBC">NBC</a>. Around this time, Anderson also saw his Supermarionation style attract imitators—most notably <i><a href="/wiki/Space_Patrol_(1962_TV_series)" title="Space Patrol (1962 TV series)">Space Patrol</a> (US title: Planet Patrol)</i> which used similar techniques and was made by several former employees and associates of Anderson, including Arthur Provis and Roberta Leigh. </p><p>After the completion of <i>Fireball XL5</i>, Lew Grade offered to buy AP Films. Although Anderson was initially reluctant, the deal eventually went ahead, with Grade becoming the managing director, and the Andersons, Hill, and Read becoming directors of the company. </p><p>Shortly after the buy-out, APF began production on a new marionette series, <i><a href="/wiki/Stingray_(1964_TV_series)" title="Stingray (1964 TV series)">Stingray</a></i> (1964), the first Supermarionation-based British TV series to be filmed in colour. For the new production APF moved to new studios in <a href="/wiki/Slough" title="Slough">Slough</a>. The new and bigger facilities allowed them to make major improvements in special effects, notably in the underwater sequences, as well as advances in marionette technology, with the use of a variety of interchangeable heads for each character to convey different expressions. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Thunderbirds"><i>Thunderbirds</i></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Gerry_Anderson&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Thunderbirds"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Thunderbirds_(TV_series)" title="Thunderbirds (TV series)">Thunderbirds (TV series)</a></div> <p>APF's next project for ATV was inspired by a <a href="/wiki/Wunder_von_Lengede" title="Wunder von Lengede">mining disaster</a> that occurred in West Germany in October 1963. This real-life drama inspired Anderson to create a new programme format about a rescue organisation, which eventually became his most famous and popular series, <i><a href="/wiki/Thunderbirds_(TV_series)" title="Thunderbirds (TV series)">Thunderbirds</a></i> (1965–1966). The dramatic title was inspired by the letter Anderson's older brother Lionel had written to his family during World War II. </p><p>Grade was very enthusiastic about the concept and agreed to back a series of 25-minute episodes (the same length as <i>Stingray</i>), so the Andersons scripted a pilot episode, "<a href="/wiki/Trapped_in_the_Sky" title="Trapped in the Sky">Trapped in the Sky</a>", and began production. Anderson initially wanted actress <a href="/wiki/Fenella_Fielding" title="Fenella Fielding">Fenella Fielding</a> to perform the voice of <a href="/wiki/Lady_Penelope_Creighton_Ward" class="mw-redirect" title="Lady Penelope Creighton Ward">Lady Penelope</a>, but Sylvia convinced her husband that she herself ought to play the role. <i>Thunderbirds</i> also marked the start of a long professional association with actor <a href="/wiki/Shane_Rimmer" title="Shane Rimmer">Shane Rimmer</a>, who voiced <a href="/wiki/Scott_Tracy" title="Scott Tracy">Scott Tracy</a>. </p><p>Production on <i>Thunderbirds</i> had been under way for several months when Grade saw the completed 25-minute version of "Trapped in the Sky". He was so excited by the result that he insisted that the episodes be extended to fifty minutes. With a substantial increase in budget, the production was restructured to expand episodes already filmed or in pre-production, and create new 50-minute scripts for the remainder. Grade and others were so convinced that <i>Thunderbirds</i> would be a success that a feature-film version of the series was proposed even before the pilot episode went to air. At this approximate time, APF was renamed Century 21 Productions. </p><p>After APF was renamed Century 21 Productions, it enjoyed its greatest success with <i>Thunderbirds</i>, and the series made the Andersons world famous. However, it was cancelled midway through the second series because Grade was unable to sell the show to an American network. Despite being wildly popular in the UK and abroad, Grade felt that without an American buyer, a full second series would fail to recoup its cost. It would later find moderate success in the United States through <a href="/wiki/Broadcast_syndication" title="Broadcast syndication">syndication</a>. </p><p>During the production of <i>Thunderbirds</i> the Andersons' marriage began to come under increasing strain, and the company also had a setback when the feature film <i><a href="/wiki/Thunderbirds_Are_GO" class="mw-redirect" title="Thunderbirds Are GO">Thunderbirds Are GO</a></i> surprisingly <sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="Why was it surprising?

In later interviews, Anderson said that he considered divorce, but this was halted when Sylvia announced that she was pregnant. Their son, Gerry Anderson Jr., was born in July 1967. </p><p>By that time, production had started on a new series, <i><a href="/wiki/Captain_Scarlet_and_the_Mysterons" title="Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons">Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons</a></i> (1967), which saw the advent of more realistic marionette characters which, thanks to improvements in electronics which allowed miniaturisation of the lip-sync mechanisms, could now be built closer to normal human proportions. </p><p>Century 21's second feature film, <i><a href="/wiki/Thunderbird_6" title="Thunderbird 6">Thunderbird 6</a></i>, was also unsuccessful, and the problems were compounded by their next (and penultimate) Supermarionation series, <i><a href="/wiki/Joe_90" title="Joe 90">Joe 90</a></i> (1968). This series returned to more 'kid-friendly' territory, depicting the adventures of a young boy who is also a secret agent and whose scientist father uses a supercomputer called 'BIG RAT' which can 'program' Joe with special knowledge and abilities for his missions. Its relatively poor reception made it the last of the classic Anderson marionette shows. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Live-action_work">Live-action work</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Gerry_Anderson&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Live-action work"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Anderson's next project took the special effects expertise built up over previous TV projects and combined it with live action.

Although it was not a major commercial success, <i>Doppelgänger</i> was nominated for an <a href="/wiki/Academy_Awards" title="Academy Awards">Academy Award</a> for its special effects. </p><p>Century 21's return to television was the abortive series <i><a href="/wiki/The_Secret_Service" title="The Secret Service">The Secret Service</a></i>, which this time mixed live action with Supermarionation. The series was inspired by Anderson's love of British comedian <a href="/wiki/Stanley_Unwin_(comedian)" title="Stanley Unwin (comedian)">Stanley Unwin</a>, who was known for his nonsense language, 'Unwinese', which he created and used on radio, in film and most famously on the 1968 <a href="/wiki/Small_Faces" title="Small Faces">Small Faces</a> LP <i><a href="/wiki/Ogdens%27_Nut_Gone_Flake" title="Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake">Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake</a></i>. Despite Anderson's track record and Unwin's popularity, the series was cancelled before its first screening; Lew Grade considered that it would be incomprehensible to American audiences, and thus unsellable. </p><p>In 1969 the Andersons began production of a new TV series, <i><a href="/wiki/UFO_(British_TV_series)" title="UFO (British TV series)">UFO</a></i>, Century 21's first full live-action television series.

Entitled <i>An Evening with Gerry Anderson</i>, it took the form of an illustrated lecture in which he talked about his career, and his most popular shows. He also made numerous media and personal appearances to tie in with revivals and video cassette releases of <i>Stingray</i>, <i>Thunderbirds</i>, <i>Captain Scarlet</i> and <i>Joe 90</i>. </p><p>Anderson was interviewed for the BBC's 1993 <i><a href="/wiki/Doctor_Who" title="Doctor Who">Doctor Who</a></i> documentary, <i>Thirty Years in the TARDIS</i>.

Finally, in 1994, Anderson was able to get <i>Space Precinct</i> into production. It was followed by <i><a href="/wiki/Lavender_Castle" title="Lavender Castle">Lavender Castle</a></i>, a children's sci-fi fantasy series combining <a href="/wiki/Stop-motion_animation" class="mw-redirect" title="Stop-motion animation">stop-motion animation</a> and <a href="/wiki/Computer-generated_imagery" title="Computer-generated imagery">computer-generated imagery</a>. </p><p>In the meantime, the biography, which had been set aside since Archer's death, had been picked up again and was completed by <a href="/wiki/Stan_Nicholls" title="Stan Nicholls">Stan Nicholls</a> from Archer's original notes and manuscript, finally being published in 1996 shortly before <i>Lavender Castle</i> went into production. </p><p>Around this time Anderson was reunited with his elder son, Gerry Jr., Anderson reportedly experienced powerful feelings of animosity toward his ex-wife Sylvia at the idea she had been responsible for his enforced estrangement from his son.<sup id="cite_ref-GAbio2_21-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GAbio2-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Later_career">Later career</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Gerry_Anderson&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Later career"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>By December 1999, Anderson was working on plans for a sequel to <i>Captain Scarlet</i>, and he showed early test reels at a few <a href="/wiki/Fan_conventions" class="mw-redirect" title="Fan conventions">fan conventions</a>.
