Thunderbirds...
I was a little young when it first aired, but i always watched it in repeats when I was a kid. Lady Penelope was one of my first crushes, her woodenness notwithstanding, which means it was ALL about that voice. RAWR.
Just here to pay my respects to Ms. Anderson, the Thunderbirds (not as wooden as "U.F.O.," maybe, but just as fun) and their fans.

I was so pleased to read that Sylvia was still involved creating new work, with her daughter. Seems hard to picture her as 90 years old.
