Gerry Anderson Interview at SciFi.com

Keith Wilson-2
Greetings,

There's a Gerry Anderson interview at SciFi.com in the Science Fiction
Weekly section.

Here's the link:

Supercar gets one mention, Thunderbirds sees a lot of print, but there's no
mention of UFO (sorry).

He made Supercar just so the puppets wouldn't have to walk. LOL!

The conceit of Space: 1999 is that an atomic explosion hurls the
moon and the inhabitants of Alpha Base into an unwanted interstellar
voyage. Where did this notion come from? I mean, why not a Lost in
Space of an actual spacecraft along the lines of Star Trek: Voyager
that, at the least, would have avoided all those arguments about
improbable physics?

Anderson: I am afraid I am a bit more original than wanting to copy
other people's successful shows. And if you think that Star Trek is
probable, then I am a monkey's uncle.

<blink>
ROFL!

What projects are under development that "Fandersons"--as your
extensive following is called--can look forward to?

Anderson: I am hoping that I will soon persuade Carlton Television,
who now own the rights to Captain Scarlet, to let me remake the series
in top-end CGI. A few months ago we made a new five-minute
sequence in CGI, keeping the characters exactly as they are in the
series but adding all the advantages of this new technology. The
reaction to this test has been sensational. We have also created a new
live-action TV series which looks as if it will be made as a theatrical
release.

<one eyebrow raised> Oh? What's this??????

Thanks, Keith!

Maybe because it's the opposite of one of the theories how the Moon came to
be where it is now. Some say it was a planet and travelled all the way
here, wandering through space, and got stuck here in a dance with Earth.
Maybe the Moon was trying to travel back 'home'
