Gerry Anderson with his wife Sylvia formed Century 21 productions and took puppeteering to a whole new level back in the 60's. With electronic puppets and pioneering filming techniques they revolutionised children's TV. What men my age can't remember Supercar, Stingray, Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds, Joe 90 and Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons? A brilliant man and ahead of his time. I for one loved his programmes.
