Gerry Anderson has died by Jamie Anderson.
My favorite supermarionation shows were Supercar and Fireball XL5. Of course I watched Space 1999 and UFO. I recall Thunderbirds, which seems to be so popular, but I don't remember watching it that much.
Anderson was responsible for one of my favorite sci fi space movies of the 60s, Journey to the Far Side of the Sun. The space walk scene with the music (theremin?) was quite beautiful, I always thought.
