Strange Puppetry - Cliff Portwood gave me a lift - 14-05-2024
Captain Scarlett on the Tottenham bench this evening. Which is a bit of a Mysteron to me, frankly.

Before my time but my friend likes Gerry Anderson.
RE: Strange Puppetry - Gerry Hatrick - 16-05-2024
Always a subject for ridicule because of the strings, and loping movement etc. Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation creations were story-telling brilliance. The action, the characters, the music (Barry Gray), the storylines and the sci-fi optimism (like Star Trek) that whatever happens to you, there is always International Rescue to save the day, made most of the series' a heaven for the imaginations of youngsters in the 60s and 70s.
I particularly liked Joe 90 - inspiring one David Jackson from Paulsgrove/Gosport to change his name to 'Joe'.
Only the kill-joys saw the strings.

Stingray, Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds all brilliant and an upgrade on Torchy the Battery Boy and Twizzle.

Twizzle was great as centre forward for Pompey.

Torchy was Saveloy's favourite (showing his age although he said it was repeats when he saw it, faf).

Not forgetting the live action of UFO and Space 1999.
RE: Strange Puppetry - Hermann's_no_hermit - 17-05-2024
60 years on and I would still watch a Thunderbirds programme over almost anything else (watching Pompey being the exception).
RE: Strange Puppetry - Cressers - 17-05-2024
Avram Grant reminded me of The Hood in Thunderbirds.

I can see that, maybe with a hint of Lady Penelope's chauffeur, Parker.
Incidentally, in at least 5 major Tescos stores across the country, I've heard this recorded announcement by the exact same speaker:
'There is a caller at the back gate. Please attend.'
If you've heard it, you'll know that voice has to be Parker.
