Synopsis:

Creator of the legendary Thunderbirds, Gerry Anderson scored incredible successes throughout the 1960s and '70s with Captain Scarlet, UFO, Space: 1999 and other series which appealed to both children and adults alike. Not all his ideas, however, went to a full series and this set contains the 1970s pilots for both The Investigator and The Day After Tomorrow, as well as the 1986 pilot for Space Police, which was eventually reworked as Space Precinct nearly a decade later. Alongside these rare and much sought after programmes, this collector's set also includes:
You've Never Seen This - Gerry's directorial debut, from 1955
Here Comes Kandy - a colour puppet pilot made by Gerry's company Pentagon Films in 1956
Image galleries for all three '70s and '80s pilots
New transfer of remaining film elements for Space Police, alongside the 'Reloaded' 1992 edit and test footage
Dick Spanner, PI - an unscreened episode with accompanying image gallery
Blue Skies Ahead and an accompanying Blue Cars advert, made by Gerry in partnership with Nicholas Parsons

Prepare to be taken to places you've never seen before. Witness fascinating stories spanning the far reaches of the galaxy. Marvel at the creative ideas and explosive action. These are THE LOST WORLDS OF GERRY ANDERSON. For the first time on DVD, this two disc set presents a collection of rare films and pilots from the famed creator of Thunderbirds, UFO, and Space: 1999 - Gerry Anderson. The inventive producer and his team created television series which appealed to kids, and equally the kid in all of us. From the 'supermarionation' process that gave us puppet classics Thunderbirds, Stingray and Captain Scarlett and the Mysterons to the explosive live action of UFO, The Protectors and Space: 1999, Gerry Anderson's productions did (and still do) entertained all ages, however, not all of his ideas were green-lit to full series. At last these lost chapters are available to see, from the early puppet film, Here Comes Kandy, to the final segment of the stop-motion animated comedy series, Dick Spanner, they're all here waiting to be discovered. Included are Gerry Anderson's pilot films, such as The Investigator (the last puppet film from the original Century 21 key crew), The Day After Tomorrow, a rarely-seen tele-movie pilot that spanned the production of Space: 1999, and the pilot Space Police - a sci-fi adventure that went on to serve as the template for science fiction favourite, Space Precinct. Now Anderson fans can complete their collections with these ground-breaking moments, and finally catch a glimpse of these long-lost works from the incredible imagination of Gerry Anderson...
