He directed episodes of Four Feather Falls Supercar and Fireball XL5. His work on the latter is regarded as having brought added sophistication to the direction of the series. Pattillo then worked again for Anderson on Stingray as director before performing a number of roles on the next series from AP Films. For Thunderbirds Pattillo served as script editor director and writer. He directed four and wrote seven of the thirty-two episodes including Attack of the Alligators!. Aside from his work on Gerry Anderson projects Pattillo had a varied career in the film industry.
