Pod 59: Mary Turner - Puppet Maker and Operator

This week we're lucky to have a short interview with the wonderful Mary Turner - the longest-serving surviving member of the puppet teams from AP Films and Century 21. Mary tells us how she got into puppetry, some key elements about making and operating puppets, the dangers of being a puppeteer and why she didn't like the transition from Thunderbirds to Captain Scarlet.

We've also got Quick Fire Five, News, the Ranomiser, voice of the Podsterons, a top 5 YouTube comment countdown and much more! It's another busy week on the Gerry Anderson Podcast!
