Several years ago, I wrote YES M’LADY as my tribute to the team of multi-talented young
artists and technicians who contributed greatly to our success in the new
SUPERMARIONATION field that we had pioneered. Over a period of years we made
hundreds of hours of entertainment that became ‘cult’ viewing. THUNDERBIRDS, in
particular, captured the public’s imagination with the adventures of International Rescue
headed by JEFF TRACY at their secret South Pacific island H.Q. and by the glamorous
LADY PENELOPE, her side-kick PARKER, and her PINK ROLLS ROYCE at their London
base.
When I wrote YES M’LADY, it was intended to be the ‘ultimate’ final comment from me
on the THUNDERBIRDS phenomenon – I felt that it had all been said, but events have
proved me wrong! Since that time – almost fifteen years ago – the story is far from over.
With the advent of a multi-million dollar movie with a Hollywood cast, the
THUNDERBIRDS adventure has sprung to life with the original one third life-size
characters being portrayed by human actors. Once more, the legend lives on!
I hope you enjoy sharing with me my personal journey from the early
SUPERMARIONATION days to the present day. I’ve also included many new pictures
from my private collection that will illustrate the various stages of my career.
This Coffee Table Book - measuring 32cm x 32cm/12” x 12” (already pre-sold both in
the UK and the USA) will make a treasured addition to the collectors of THUNDERBIRDS
memorabilia. But you don’t have to be a fan to enjoy this glimpse of life in front and
behind the camera. Although real life celebs have replaced the puppets in my story,
I still have an affection for the mini stars who featured so prominently in the beginning
of My FAB Years!
