RIP
Wasn't a programme of his I didn't love as a kid.
Nobody's "indestructible" though.

Oh, what a shame! 😥
I think I watched everything he ever made, from Four Feather Falls, Torchy The Battery Boy and Twizzle, up to Space 1999 and, God help me, Terrahawks!
Particularly loved Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray and Thunderbirds, they fuelled a love of science, space and science unction that has never left me.
Thank you, Gerry, for such incredible creations. RIP.
