      Isn't she also responsible for John Tracey being pretty permanently stranded on Thunderbird 5.... all alone.

      The faces of the main puppets were based on prominent stars of the time and, apparently, Sylvia Anderson fancied Adam Faith (who John was based on) so Gerry made sure that he was stuck up in the space station all on his lonesome and never got to shag Tin-Tin.

      This is based on my dim memories of my childhood and probably has no connection to fact and reality.
