Oh man, I remember every Saturday morning, when I rushed down to the TV to watch this show. I still have a pile of recorded VHS'es lying around somewhere in a box.
An International Rescue organisation is still a great idea. Every time there's an earthquake or other disaster, it takes 5 days for the UN to deliver any kind of appropriate response.
For all those kids who grew up with video players, DVDs and SKY+ my deepest condolesences. Nothing beat building an indoor aerial for the UHF channel out of a cornflakes packet, tin foil, sellotape and a spliced aerial cable in 1972...
Just so you had a choice of three different THUNDERBIRDS episodes on a Sunday afternoon. Anglia at 11.00am with Southern and LWT broadcasting another two different ones at 12pm. Cue channel hopping during the credits to select the one you'd seen least!.
@2010Barbon and you new age kids are into Telletubbies... Don't like it? then don't watch it... simple. You don't see me searching up Telletubbies and crap just to post a comment on how much i don't like it... i wouldn't even go there in the first place.
Thunderbirds was a good show in it's time but it is overated.
It has been a childrens/family show that has been screened too many times and has made Gerry Anderson and co much cash.Please don't use the word nostalgia! That is just used to generate even more cash!
It is not a classic programme.It was puppets on string and I can only imagine back then that it raised eyebrows,though it's not really well documented.
It's not quite as gripping as Star Treck, or as nostalgic as Doctor Who (which will always be king of TV), but it's a bit of fun that most people can relate to. The music was excelent, and it was such an incredible and unique concept. I don't think it's overrated, people just remember the good bits more than the bad. The 2004 movie was a bit of fun that resparked the fire, if it wasn't a big hit.
Thunderbirds was truly a great, about time the Beeb starting showing it again, possibly at Weekends on BBC Two mid morning, a true classic programme, totally superior to modern brainless kids tv, i would hate to be a kid today, im happy im a 90s kid when childrens TV actually taught you things and was made properly, kids these days, no wonder they are going through school with no brains, they havent got any good TV to educate them
my feeling are, as usual, i do not want my children watching thunderbirds tv show. these puppets look like homosex, and if my children watch these homosex puppet in thunderbird uniform, my children might also want to wear the thunderbird uniform and they will also become homosex. there must be more islamic televisons shows on the televisons that show good muslims acting like men and not homosex

i'd have to select thunderbirds, lady penelope and parker by a whisker. we had the lady penelope rolls royce at home too. children's tv was fun, the baddies were always quashed....just like they should be! as we'd say when in the car to my brother's and my amusement and my father's mystery ...."parker - drive on"

I spotted script editor/writer Alan Pattillo (now in his 80s) in a tearoom in Aberdeenshire a few months ago and decided to approach him. He was graciousness itself and thanked me kindly for telling him how much his work had meant to me as a small boy. It really lifted my weekend to know that someone who worked my favourite TV series was such a perfect gentleman.
The rescues were OK but I would've liked to have seen more footage of them relaxing on Tracy Island, sitting around that Mid-Mod house smoking and listening to Jazz......Swinging pad.
@Jermyn78 I think "Attack of the alligators" and " Path of destruction " with the giant crablogger were 2 of the best episodes, they were all brilliant, possibly because they were all true stories. There was a vicious rumour being circulated a few years ago that the characters were all puppets. Can you believe the shit that some people come out with ? I mean, do they look like puppets to you ??
A product of a time where no need was felt to talk down to kids or treat them like complete retards. The 2004 movie was a wasted opportunity and focussed on the 8-14 demographic in a way that the original series never seemed to do. I'd hate to be in my teens today. The video games are better, but everything else is worse.
@colin5577 even the video games are worse aswell. its all brainless bullshit. remeber the times when you did that one level over and over again becouse it was so hard ? nowadays games are copies of eachoter and they all revolve around mindless shooting hacking and or slashing.
I have old Thunderbirds Nintendo shooting game (1988) uploaded in my channel. It's called Let's Play Thunderbirds! For those who want to watch, please visit my channel! Thanks and I love these series.
Talk about retro. Have you checked out the RETRO-GUY website. You can also see a video on it on youtube. Just search for Bali Rakhra or BBC The One Show - RETRO GUY.
"I used to wonder how come John Tracy didn't go batty living up in that space station on his own all the time. from 4demolition - well he had you for company! ;-)
the thunderbird's were one of the best totally cool show's on TV in the 60's the music was the save the day type totally cool,
no one in the US could have done it like gerry anderson,
All america had was hanna barbera and silly animated things like dinosaurs and birdman and and Jonny Quest,
The intro to thunder Birds made you feel proud to go and taqke care of situations or get someone out of trouble with all thier aircraft, and idea's it was incredible,
Omg fantastic memories. I watched them all when i was still a kid. I recognize all pictures that are shown here. that song, memories, memories. my brother be scott, since he is the oldest and I was virgil for being the second. of course now I feel most connected with brains :P. but the tension and exictement every single episode and the scary Hood. I still have some episodes on old videos. Man Thunderbirds are/were the best!
The best thing to ever have come out of the Slough Trading Estate. Unbelievably that is where they were made, in a factory building near the water cooling towers.
I always thought John Tracy was gay.....And so being Americans in the '60s, the Tracy family decided to put him into isolation to cure it or something
@friends09ism Wasn't that a feature length film? If I remember right, Brains kept coming up with fancy ideas for a TB6 and they kept getting 'kicked to the kerb'. There was a biplane that got used during the film to help in a rescue and then this got renamed Thunderbird 6.
16? I'm 21 I still think this show is the best kids TV show ever. And that movie remake with the kids? Total tosh, the 2 original movies are still amazing to this day!
That Brains was a hard worker...made all those ace machines...imagine the ballache making Tracy island and keeping it secret...apparently it was built by Prisoners of war who were then machine gunned and encased in the concrete base of the Thunderbird 2 launch pad....that family...hard cold people.
mario... from marionette......... italian, a puppet controlled via a string for all the dickheads out there....supermarionation ... a clever play on words and a great tv show!!
I think its a good thing they dont make any thunderbirds episodes these days anymore(exept for that frikin new lame ass TB film). I can watch all of the episodes time after time and it wont bore me at all!! TB is the best and especially when you have them on oldskool VHS ;)
Beware of copyright, did you have permission to submit it, you tube copyright policy does not allow coyrighted material to be submitted without permission!
I just love that sexy plane @ 0:23. Interestingly it still looks futuristic even in today's standards, while most of the future tech in old movies tend to look somewhat funny today...
After some searching I found the phrase: "All systems are go" meaning "everything is working correctly and we are ready to begin". I think it can be applied to the Thunderbirds (The machines)
Supermarionation is invented by the maker of the serie Gerry Anderson. It is the automatic movements of the mouths of the puppets so it looks like they talk.

I think its a good thing they dont make any thunderbirds episodes these days anymore(exept for that frikin new lame ass TB film). I can watch all of the episodes time after time and it wont bore me at all!! TB is the best and especially when you have them on oldskool VHS ;)

I just love that sexy plane @ 0:23. Interestingly it still looks futuristic even in today's standards, while most of the future tech in old movies tend to look somewhat funny today...

@98sibuna It's got a fantastic name too. The Fireflash. For standard air transport, it sure has a hardcore name.

"Thunderbirds are go"... is that even English? Going or gone sounds a lot more acceptable...

@Snegenad1
After some searching I found the phrase: "All systems are go" meaning "everything is working correctly and we are ready to begin". I think it can be applied to the Thunderbirds (The machines)

G4 is smart, see? They know people would much rather see reruns of Cops than geeky shows like this.
Somebody call Ziff Davis and tell him to fix the world.

WTF! IS SUPERMARIONATION? 1:23
MrStereoTiger 1 year ago
Supermarionation is invented by the maker of the serie Gerry Anderson. It is the automatic movements of the mouths of the puppets so it looks like they talk.
