Sad news indeed. My favourite Gerry Anderson series were/are UFO and Space 1999. Whilst I was familiar with the Thunderbirds I was unaware of Captain Scarlet until I attended a stage play in Perth title
Thunderbirds F.A.B.....who ever thought you could do a entertaining stage play inspired by TV puppet shows.

R.I.P Gerry A..Your brilliant shows will live on as a legacy to the SiFi world....and people will continue to debate the meaning of FAB for all eternity
