Judith Shutt
Judith Shutt (15 January 1942-15 May 2015[1]) was a puppet operator for most of the supermarionation television series Thunderbirds. This included the first series episode The Man from MI.5, which crossed over into the Doctor Who universe by featuring an appearance by the Daleks. She worked as an assistant character operator for the film Thunderbirds Are Go and returned to the franchise in 2015 as a sculptor for the Thunderbirds 1965 project, which added visuals to three 1960s audio stories.
Shutt was also involved in other creations of Gerry Anderson which shared crossovers with the DWU, having earlier been credited as a puppet operator for most episodes of Stingray. Her only other credits were for an episode of the 1972 series Spyder's Web, the 1975 series Here Comes Mumfie, and the 1978 series Cloppa Castle.
She was the sister of fellow puppet operator Ernest Shutt.
