Watching Lady Penelope sip Bolly in the back of her pink Roller while Parker
fires ground-to-air missiles from the driver’s seat, is one thing. Ploughing
through a biography on the man behind her ladyship and other Thunderbird puppets
is another. Gerry Anderson: The Authorised Biography by Simon Archer and Stan
Nicholls (Legend, £15.99, ISBN 0 09 978141 7) is one for die-hard fans
only.
