It was literally ‘Thunderbirds to the rescue’ for a Bideford PR man who has landed his dream job after being hired by legendary series co-creator Sylvia Anderson.
When Thunderbirds fan Raymond Goldsmith of Tidy Eye PR ran into old friend Dee Anderson on Twitter she asked if he would help her and mother Sylvia, the former wife of Gerry Anderson and inspiration for ‘Lady Penelope’, promote their star-studded A-list charity event the Pink FAB Ball.
With a background in film, they were also keen to secure Ray’s services helping with a new science fiction animation television series called The Last Station, currently in development, plus their new online lifestyle television channel GloTIME TV.
Ray, has endured a difficult couple of years as he struggled to get his fledging PR company up and running.

To compound it all, a car collision which knocked him off his mountain bike left him with a severely dislocated collarbone and endless medical complications after two failed operations.
“I am a lifelong Thunderbirds fan so I consider it a special honour to be offered such a key role in shaping a future for Sylvia and Dee’s projects. Thunderbirds to the rescue for real,” said Ray.
