Many hours spent as a kid in pyjamas after dinner watching Joe 90/Thunderbirds/Stingray/Supercar etc.
Wonderfully imaginative stuff.
Have often wished that the next Peter Jackson film(s) would be a live action Thunderbirds - rather than that awful piece of American dross a few years ago.
He's about the only filmaker at the moment with the vision to be able to capture the fascination with technology, flight and atomic age futurism that made and still makes the original Thunderbirds such a great watch.
RIP Gerry.
