Gerry Anderson, the creator of hit TV shows including Thunderbirds, Stingray and Joe 90, has died at the age of 83.

He also created Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons and his puppet superheroes fired the imaginations of millions of young viewers in the 1960s and '70s.

RIP, I for one could never get enough of his shows.

Thunderbirds was one of the series I watched as a kid and I remember it vividly.

Me too, lotus. I also built, from the model kits, all of the Thunderbird crafts. He also did UFO. A great short-run series.
