Subject: [Puptcrit] John Read has passed away


I'm behind with my Puptcrit email so I'm not sure if this has already been
reported or not, but I got an email from Darryl Worbey informing me that
John Read who was a D.O.P. and producer on many legendary UK puppet shows
like "Thunderbirds". "Stingray", and "Rupert the Bear" has passed away in
England. He was a co-founder of both AP Films (which produced the
"Supermarionation" films) and his later company, Cinemation.

I've posted some biographical information and links to more info about his
life and career at
