Yes very sad,but I tended to watch his later stuff for some obscure reason !;)
nothing at all to do with the lovely Gabriella ;)
Ah, yes indeed:) - and her character was called Gay, as was she, in the golden days before that delightful name was highjacked!! A bit of trivia, if you didn't know, her late brother was the musician Nick Drake.

Funny about the changing meaning of the word 'gay'.
As I remember, Dr Who used to gad about with a teenage boy - Adric, or something? - not to mention the relationship between Batman and Robin or Bert and Ernie.
One couldn't get away with doing that nowadays. Word meanings and perceptions are constantly changing, sadly in many cases.

I loved Thunderbirds as a boy.
In New Zealand, we got Thunderbirds, Joe 90, Supercar and Space 1999.
Even aged ten, I knew that an aircraft like Thunderbird 2 could not really fly, but that was hardly the point.
My favourite episode? The Fireflash and the elevator cars, without doubt. The sweating puppets were just cool. :D
