[Drago]

Just heard this on R4 driving back from the in-laws. A sad loss of a visionary who inspired, entertained and amazed several generations of boys. RIP

Just saying on another thread how the Andersens pushed the boundaries for equality

Captain Scarlet with female Asian pilots and coloured officers in senior positions was groundbreaking at the time

"Parker, take off my dress"
"Yes, m' Lady"
"Parker, take off my underwear"
"Yes, m' Lady"
"Parker ..."
"Yes, m' Lady?"
"If I ever catch you wearing my clothes again you're fired!"

His shows were childhood favourites of mine, RIP and thank you for keeping me, and a lot of others, entertained.

Me too!

As an 8 year old boy, I found the Stingray intro really exciting:



Beat that, Playstation/XBox/Wii!

Fixed That For You. (Over?)Used when editing another's post to say something subtly different.

I always thought that Thunderbird 2 would solve the problem of having a quick turn around at the airport. All the passengers could be seated in a pod ready to go - FAB.

Of course I know nothing of aero-design but I know what I like.

There's been a few notable people this year http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-20743958

Ahhh Thunderbirds, nostalgia it's not what it use to be.

Sad to see Gerry go.

Don't take this the wrong way, but the thought crossed my mind of a Thunderbird Funeral, with the casket being delivered to the Crem / Grave ;
