    I thought it would be proper to start a thread on the recent death of the Thunderbirds Creator Gerry Anderson, since he played a big role in my childhood and probably most of yours also. I myself have fond memories of my Captain Scarlet Action figure and my Thunderbird 2 (despite being a 90s baby).

    RIP Gerry you were FAB!

    Especially if you knew he was thinking about remastering Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlett with CGI. We will have to watch on to see if this gets abandoned or not.
