Gerry Anderson has passed away

[Berries]

I will never be able to listen to 'Ferry Cross the Mersey' now without a tear in my eye.

Sad news. Must see if I can get the Thunderbirds on DVD at some stage.

I've found that no matter how many times you see them, if they come on the TV, I have to watch. Great TV!

[Oakie]

I am Thunderbird 2. Thanks Gerry for everything.

What?! You're big, fat and green?

Did Four Feather Falls ever screen over here? We never got a TV till quite a bit later

What?! You're big, fat and green?

Aerodynamically impossible, with delusions of practicality, piloted by Virgil Reality.

I love that scene in Perils of Penelope where she and Sir Jeremy are locked in a basement filling with poisonous gas - he bangs on the door and yells - ''I say, open up, we're British you know!'' Fortunately Parker rips the door off with FAB 1.

Superb (mandatory!) viewing as a young'un.
Fireball XL5, Stingray, Joe 90, Captain Scarlet, Tunderbirds, UFO, Space 1999.

A brilliant imagination of the writers to delve into sci-fi in such a way. Ground breaking telly in its day.

Started showing a 10yr old Captain Scarlet on DVD and his instant response was "They're DOLLS!" and walked off in disgust saying how crap it was.
Oddly Team America is acceptable to him though, go figure!?


RIP Gerry Anderson. Thanks for the fun times.

BTW. If you have "contacts" regarding the hoverbikes, now would be a good time to get them into production!
