- I love Zero -X but this is probably the third best Thunderbirds Movie.
- Tomb of the Cybermen is on of my favourite stories so I had a lot of fun with this trailer. :) Hope ya'll enjoy.
- CYBER ATTACK! 💥 Jonathon Carley returns as the War Doctor in Doctor Who: Cybergene, OUT NOW: bgfn.sh/gene
- Probably the most ambitious alt effect in the entire classic series of Doctor Who, The Myrka, here to completely change the tone of parts 2 and 3 of Warriors of the Deep. Brought to life as both a puppet and a cg scan of the puppet designed by Chris Stevens.
- We took a break for a couple of seasons, but we’re back, yeeting bits of plastic across a room for Doctor Who Season 21! Almost 470 shots across 5 stories, more than half of which are in Warriors of the Deep alone, which I'm pretty sure sets a record.
- New models built by me, Titan Studios 3D, and It's An Ashton. New Myrka, designed and built by Chris Stephens (you’ll see more of it later). New Magma Beast courtesy of James Burgess. And of course, my Himbos of the Deep. Andrew Clements, Connor Flanagan, Ben Page and Ryan Wade.
- Glad to see the FX for Blake's 7 Series 2 going down so well. :)
- Me? Hijack a podcast to talk about my special interest? Never!

- Reposted by Chris ThompsonOne of the most important Who stories for me. I trace my interest in lighthouse yarns to this (I'm working on a lighthouse movie.) I also got to help out @chrisxl5.bsky.social and his team with the optional new VFX for the Blu-ray edition– which was one of the best adventures of my life.
- The B7 series 2 trailer is now live with more spaceships, explosions and general tomfoolery...
- And naturally, many, many more models...

- Say hello to the new Liberator for Blake's 7 series 2. Made by Richard Ashton from as much reference from the original as we could get but also fully collapsible and side mounted.
- Phenomenal work from Lee, there's sooo much I wanna talk about with this set.
- I hope nothing goes wrong with the giant, atomic powered deforestation machine…
- Doing Dundalk Comic Con tomorrow, so I figured I'd put a short reel of the alternate FX we've done for the Doctor Who Blu-rays. (that we can talk about)
- Lovely work from Lee as usual. I've done a little bit of work on this set. :) Looking forward to ya'll seeing it.
- Thrilled to reveal the cover for #DoctorWho The Collection Season 13! We're back again, giving our beloved show the love it deserves! (10 points to the first person who spots what the background to this one is).
- Got to have a mess about with the lads on an AR wall. :)
- Fancy myself a tropical retreat on a faraway South-Pacific island with nothing but the sea, sand and fleet of high-tech rescue vehicles to worry about... #Thunderbirds
- Reposted by Chris ThompsonAfter months of waiting, Finally, the Stingray Technical Manual has arrived. It's Stunning! So Beautifully put together and the Love that's been given to it. Just Amazing! Thank you to Everyone involved in the Gerry Anderson Entertainment Team 😊 #Stingray #WASP #GerryAnderson #Entertainment
- The best bit about finishing a book…
- Season 2. Completed. Delivered. Approved.
- Reposted by Chris ThompsonWorking on the Star Trek Fact Files might have been my dream job, but was everyone who worked there a fan? Were some who couldn't believe that they had to care about all of this incredibly nerdy shit? I sometimes wonder…
- Going to bring some spaceships and the team to Dundalk this July. Do drop in and say hi :)
- Go Team! Our VFX team is heading to Dundalk Comic Con 5th July Fairways Hotel. And we are bringing along some screen used props. Hope to see you there! Let’s talk @gerryanderson.bsky.social @bbcstudios.bsky.social @chrisxl5.bsky.social
