R.I.P Sylvia Anderson
Moderator: Spectrum Strike Force
Stephen La Rivière and his team have completed the three new episodes of Thunderbirds 1965 and I do hope that Sylvia managed to see the finished result before she died. I'm sure she would have loved it and it's a fitting tribute to her. Lady Penelope will live on the hearts and minds of children and grown-up children everywhere!
My condolences to Sylvia's family and friends, our thoughts are with them.

The episode 'Designated Driver' from the new 'Thunderbirds are Go' series will also now have a special meaning, with Sylvia performing one last time in that fandom that people love so much, in the role of 'Lady Sylvia', Lady Penelope's own perky and witty great aunt, who was wearing one of the most recognisable and famous attires that the classic Lady Penelope wore on the classic show. She was in fact, the image of a much older Lady Penelope. The original and quite nostalgic pieces of music, the appearance of FAB 0 (the original FAB 1) and the lines exchanged between Sylvia and David Graham, all this could be now viewed as a fitting tribute to Sylvia, the very last gift given to her and to us as well.
All my sympathies to Sylvia's family and friends.
And all my thanks, Mrs. Anderson. You gave us so much. We will remember you always.

Gerry and Sylvia Anderson and all of their collaborators have given the children of the world (Children of all ages!) a marvellous gift to remember them by.
My sympathies to her family and friends.

As Lady Penelope, she entered my young life and made me believe that a woman could be as witty, clever and tough as a man and yet still retain her femininity and style.
Her appearance as Great Aunt Sylvia with David Graham in Designated Driver (TB2015) was an utter joy, and I had hoped for more, but sadly, this episode will remain as a fitting tribute to her.
Her iconic and beloved creations, in partnership with the late Gerry, assure her immortality to those of us who grew up with her in the backgrounds of our lives.
My sincere sympathy to her loved ones.

Great Aunt Sylvia was a gem of a character and it was a true pleasure to see her in TAG. A fitting tribute indeed.
She will be truly missed.
My sympathies to her family and loved ones.
