Fanderson is saddened to learn of the death of Anderson writer and director Alan Pattillo at the age of 90.
Alan, who died on 16th January 2020, was responsible for directing classic Thunderbirds episodes such as Trapped in the Sky and Attack of the Alligators. He wrote several other epsiodes and was script editor throughout the majority of the series. He also worked on numerous episodes of Four Feather Falls, Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray and Terrahawks.
He will be sorely missed.
Fanderson is saddened to hear of the death of Nicholas Parsons at the age of 96.
Nicholas was famous among Anderson fans for voicing Sheriff Tex Tucker and radio operator Dan Morse in Four Feather Falls in the early 1960s, where he performed alongside his then-wife Denise Bryer, who later went on to work on Terrahawks.
However, he found much wider appeal and ultimate cult status as the host of BBC Radio 4’s panel game Just a Minute, a role that he filled from its inception in 1967 through to his death, as well as the TV quiz show Sale of the Century, which ran throughout the 1970s. He was also a regular guest on The Benny Hill Show and starred in the memorable Doctor Who story The Cure of Fenric in 1989.
Nicholas was an enthusiastic supporter of Fanderson events and was always happy to discuss his associations with the Anderson productions.
His family and friends are in our thoughts.

We are excited to reveal that Terrahawks modelmaker John Lee will be attending Supercelebration in September.
Working under Special Effects Director Steven Begg and alongside fellow modelmaker Steve Woodcock, John designed and built many of the weird and wonderful space craft that appeared in the series. He has since gone on to amass a wealth of credits as director of photography on film and TV.
John will be joined at Supercelebration by fellow Terrahawks production crew members Steve Begg, Peter Tilbe, Gary Tomkins, Terry Adlam and Kaye Main.

The convention takes place from 20th to 22nd September at the 2019 Holiday Inn, Maidenhead.
