Extremely sad. I believe not only created Lady Penelope but most of the characters and their personal details. What a combination though - two geniuses married together Sylvia and Gerry.
Gerry the technically brilliant partner and Sylivia character creator. Together they created such exciting and enjoyable programmes in the 1960s. They were somemorable they live on in the 21st century - the Century they "created." And that was an enormous feat in 1960s when creative energy was literally exploding in all spheres - TV, music, art. For those who lived through that incredible time Sylvia and Gerry helped to gives a truly fantastic childhood. The question I must ask - why was neither them honoured with OBE, MBE OR Knighthoods? On behalf of Parker, Marina, the Angels, Venus et. al and all us fans can I simply say a huge thank you, dear Sylvia. You will be missed. A tearful goodbye.

I think she might have been behind the purple wigs etc of the Moonbase gals in UFO. If I'm right she deserved an OBE at least for that alone  |

yes I understood Sylvia designed the outfits and purple wigs the Moonbase girls wore in UFO
- I think Sylvia actually made a cameo appearance in 'Mindbender' episode during Straker's nightmare hallucination sequence
- where a lady behind the camera is reading lines to the actor 'Grant' (Gen Henderson) and the director after saying they are ready to go again then says; 'o.k. Sylvia' to her !
it might have been an actress playing the part of 'Sylvia' or maybe Sylvia Anderson herself...but it's a nice touch !
