Keith Wilson RIP

**Captain Sci-Fi** · 08-07-2011, 08:30 PM

Hi Guys,

I had a post today 8th July reporting the death of Space: 1999 Production Designer Keith Wilson.

We have lost a great talent from the worlds of Gerry Anderson.

Thank you so much for a lifetime of enjoyment - Sleep tight mate.

Don't know any details yet but it is confirmed as correct...
Very sad news

I just read that myself. Hadn't seen it anywhere else. Very sad indeed. He couldn't have been all that old.

Dear God, this is terribly upsetting for me,

I adored his production design, creativity, everything. It makes a darker world now that he's gone. Jesus, as if thing couldn't get any more worse -I wish I could have known him, or at least his associates too. Like Michael Ford etc. He was such a talent. God love him!

Extremely sad news and a massive loss. R.I.P.

He's one guy who i truly admired ! From the outset of AP, he and others like him gave me my first real memory of Fireball XL5. God blessed us all for having him around, and God will look after him now. Goodnight and God Bless you Keith - you will NEVER be forgotten.

I contacted Keith a few months ago and i did'nt get a reply which i am truly gutted about. Another great contribution to the shows.

Terrible news,his design work on all the shows he worked on was so distinctive,individual and as a child when I watched then and now they were just futuristic and wonderful.

I had the honour and pleasure of interviewing him at a convention many years ago. He seemed like a really nice chap with a genuine passion for his work on the Anderson series.

I always think of him as "young", as he was so young when he did those earlier puppet shows. It's easy to forget that even a series as "recent" as Space:1999 began filming 38 years ago. Time flies too quickly. A sad loss.

A great shock indeed-

I missed this post until today. And I agree, he can't have been that old at all-very, very sad-however his work will live on forever I hope............

Keith Wilson was born in 1941, he was 70 years old. Last time we saw him was a year and a half ago, when we did an interview with him. I think I am not mistaken when I say that it was his last video interview. You can see it on our main page website at www.space2099.com or on Youtube. He was a great man and he will not be forgotten.

Thank You Keith for your Great Work and for leaving us all with some Fantastic Memories.
