Brian Burgess was a producer and production manager. He directed two episodes of Thunderbirds during season 2 and was production co-ordinator on the 1966 feature film Thunderbirds Are Go. He later worked for Gerry and Sylvia Anderson on Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons (1967-68) and Journey to the Far Side of the Sun (1969). His other work in the film industry includes The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb (1964), The Phantom (1996), and Code 11-14 (2003).

Around the early 1980s, Burgess emigrated from England to Australia, where he continued to work in the film industry, primarily as a producer and production manager.

He died in or around 2020 - relatively close to the passing of his ex-partner and fellow production manager Rosslyn Abernethy, who died on 20 July 2020.
