Sylvia Anderson - RIP

[Spectral Morn]

Woke this morning to the news that the late Gerry Anderson's wife Sylvia had died :(

Gerry and Sylvia brought many of us great joy as children and as adults perhaps guilty/secret pleasure in still enjoying Thunderbirds, Joe 90, Captain Scarlet, UFO, Space 1999 to name but a few of their TV program output.

Sylvia was the voice of Lady Penelope,but so much more, an integral part of the output of Gerry Anderson's work.

Sad news.

That's a shame but then they both had a good run. I was watching the new Thunderbirds at the weekend - quite good actually. They still have David Graham doing the voice of Parker and he must be 90 if he's a day.

lol.. I have sat through an episode of the new one 'every night' since it came back... the kids love it and we now own all of the toys. lol - it's good, a little iffy around the edges still in terms of production but, yes... very good.

I have watched a few too. Recently watched quiet a few episodes of UFO and Space 1999 on youtube. The smart TV in the bedroom doesn't have a TV aerial so internet TV is what I watch on it.

Yes they did, but it's still sad.
