I loved Thunderbirds and Fireball XL5 when I was a kid. As an adult I discovered some Gerry Anderson shows I hadn’t seen as a child, Stingray among them. We bought the entire Stingray DVD set and have watched it repeatedly. We also bought some Thunderbirds DVD sets. Ray Barrett was in both shows. These shows are favorites around my house and we had an especially great time watching them with our child when he was small.
Farewell to Ray Barrett, his performances brought a lot of enjoyment to young and not so young alike.
May God rest his soul, and comfort his family in their time of sorrow.
Titan always tagged me for the most menial jobs…. :sad:
Interesting thought: As the opening theme to ‘Stingray’ began with Ray Barrett (as Commander Shore) saying ‘STAND BY FOR ACTION!’, does this make Barrett the first voice ever heard in an MST3K theater segment? Wonder if Joel, Trace or Josh countered that with a riff?
