#Twizzle captain series
Following a shift towards live action productions in the 1970s, he had a long and successful association with media impresario Lew Grade and Grade's company ITC, continuing until the second series of Space: 1999.Īfter a career lull when a number of new series concepts failed to get off the ground, his career began a new phase in the early 1980s when audience nostalgia for his earlier Supermarionation series (prompted by Saturday morning re-runs in Britain and Australia) led to new Anderson productions being commissioned. Other television productions of the 1960s include Stingray and Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.Īnderson also wrote and produced several feature films whose box office performance was unexceptional.
In the mid-1960s Anderson produced his most successful series, Thunderbirds. Supercar (1961–62) and Fireball XL5 (1962) followed later, both series breaking into the US television market in the early 1960s. He remains famous for his futuristic television programmes, especially his 1960s productions filmed with "Supermarionation" (marionette puppets containing electric moving parts).Īnderson's first television production was the 1957 Roberta Leigh children's series The Adventures of Twizzle. (On the ground only for safety obviously) Honestly, the reporting of this. See production, box office & company info. Some captains even lets us twizzle the heading knob if were good boys and girls.
