RIP Gerry Anderson, creator of Thunderbirds

Recommended Posts

The man who give me a major part of childhood has died today - Gerry Anderson, the man directly responsible for puppet-starring explosion-fests Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Stingray and others as well as classic live action shows U.F.O. and Space 1999 has died aged 83.

 

He was a giant in the science-fiction landscape enthralling multiple generations of kids around the world with his futuristic fantasies of incredible machines and daring heroes. All these shows were a huge part of my and many others childhood and I know many will continue to treasure them today

 

Oh, and the explosions. Lots and lots of explosions.
