Remembering Thunderbirds Creator Gerry Anderson

The World

The British TV-producer, Gerry Anderson died recently.

Anderson created a series of shows for kids in the 1960s, including Thunderbirds.

He wasn’t that well-known in the US, but, as The World’s Alex Gallafent reports, his influence reached these shores in the form of the movie “Team America: World Police.”
