Gerry Anderson

Gerry Anderson was a TV producer interviewed in the documentary More than 30 Years in the TARDIS. He also appeared alongside his son, Jamie Anderson, who went on to write and direct a number of audio stories for Big Finish.

Anderson also established AP Films (later rebranded as Century 21 Productions) which produced many of his TV series, several of which he created together with his second wife, Sylvia Anderson. A number of these have been referenced throughout Doctor Who, both on screen and most notably in the Second Doctor novel The Indestructible Man, which features elements that have been heavily borrowed from Anderson's series, including Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, and UFO.

In the DWU
Mentioned in passing in PROSE: Trading Futures, Gerry Anderson was the creator of Thunderbirds, one of many references to the series in that particular novel.
