We had a lovely visit with original Thunderbirds crewmember and fellow Torontonian Peter Hitchcock (and reunited him with Aloysius Parker), who moved from the UK to Canada shortly after his time at AP Films.

Peter remembers being hired as a projectionist by Sylvia Anderson and became a lip-sync operator/script supervisor/occasional hand actor on Thunderbirds after filling in for someone who called in sick.

Thanks to Hilton Fitzsimmons and Jeremy Campbell for connecting us!
