Thunderbirds 01x02 Pit Of Peril part 5

[jaques1950]

7:38 GLORY MOLE

[stewban007]

if they have to remove the crust at the top of the pit, WHY is Virgil laying explosive at the bottom of the pit?

[zeizzie]

cant they just drop a water bomb over the fire??

[Emsland1993]

@zeizzie water boils into vapour at 100% celcius. with the temperature in the pit way above that, chances are that if a huge vat of water was tipped into the crater, the water would have evaporated before it had even struck the surface of the Sidewinder at the bottom, and what little water that made it through would have been evaporated on the machine's metallic surface, which would have superconducted the heat of the crater. water: ineffective.

[hundanth]

Is it just me or is the Mole's auger turning the wrong way?

[virgil2tracyTB2]

this is one of my favourites.

the recovery vehicles are awesome. but why only one use

[TheRyanCarMan]

This is it! When I was a kid (10 years ago?) up in Canada, we used to have reruns of Thunderbirds. I could vaguely remember a vehicle in the desert moving out to the left with a drill. I've finally found the episode!

[Doominator99]

The mole is my favourite machine but at 7:31 how is vergil 10X bigger than it?!?! lol

[thygro1]

4:32 "er, well, er, w-we have a machine we call the Mole, General"

[virgil2tracyTB2]

@thygro1 don't make fun of brains.

[NekoWeiss]

@virgil2tracyTB2 afterall thanx to brains the thunderbirds exist if im right

[koenf1]

That mole is brilliant...Although the auger doesn't seem to be centered carefully :P

[crisp2882]

Good old Brains he is one of my favourites as well as Lady pen

[TroyaE117]

That mole is really something. It never gets stuck or nothing.

[Classicalify]

Look in the back ground at 2:54.

[sugarbabe37]

[noob1138]

4:10

almost got hit by the fire

[FlippieX]

I stil have all those vehicles as toys ^^

[MindstormXL]

Ooooh the intro to the mole then.

[diddymuck]

how practical a piece of equipment is this "mole"? Is it assumed to be too fantastic to be realistic?

[theemporour]

ive been in a real life version of this

one day i saw a tractor trundleing over a field, suddelny the' top crust' of a hole gave in and the tractor tumbled in like the sidewinder

apparently it was formed the same way as brains explained it did and some people ended up dragging it up the side, tractor was a mess afterwards

[Cpt50Caliber]

@theemporour

damn that mustve scared u a gd bit

[theemporour]

@Cpt50Caliber i wasnt there at the time..my dad saw it

[Cpt50Caliber]

@theemporour

oh i see, well it mustve scared him a bit :P

[mwp62]

How is it that these very British Charachters do not have English accents, or am just not picking them up?

[SpideryYoda]

@mwp62 They're all American. It's a British TV show obviously, but Gerry Anderson made Jeff Tracy (and hence his family) American because there was no British space program. Simple as that.

[mwp62]

@SpideryYoda Thank you, makes sense, simple's good.

[Starman117]

@mwp62 Because we had to sell this show to the Americans lol.

[pocobc99]

yeah, cool!!!

[Assurgent1]

we will need one of these to tunnel into the asteroid in two years....

[glynbrain]

The drill on the front of the mole is rotating in the wrong direction.

[JHazzers]

The wonder that is the TB1 remote camera

[REI02021809]

At 7:43. they look like exhaust studs from a spitfire of hurricane

[TheJazzMyke]

8.37-9.00 is my fave bit of music in thunderbirds :)

[crisp2882]

good old brains to the rescue as usual.he was one of the best in thunderbirds

[stingrayfan2007]

Why does Virgil go into the rear cabin??

Surely he would b able to go into the main cabin?!

[IonicGell200]

Ive only just noticed something: all they've done for the Mole's control panal is put Scott "Mobile Control" there.

[edwardtheblueengine1]

true, he helped fireflash to land, dragged Sidewinder out of the pit, helped thunderbird 3 when it lost it's course, wait that was brains, umm sabataged that plane from Mr hakenbacker

(forgotten the name) diverted KLR Radio Satalite!

what else did he do? help would be necessary!

[dodchorn]

He crash landed a striken Thunderbird 2, umm

[AaronIzzard]

He piloted the mole into a burning house to save an old lady (the duches asinment)

He drove the firefly through a sea of burning ruble(city of fire) and took on and oil fire with the firefly(terror in New York City)

[REI02021809]

In the later Thunderbirds episodes. Why did they change the sound effects of the mole

[Starman117]

@REI02021809 They fitted a turbo? lol

[tulsehilltao]

does scott really need to be there?

[ancalites]

Scotts craft is the fastest, so its able to deploy quickly to an accident scene and assess the situation.

[IonicGell200]

YES! and would people STOP SAYING THAT

[BenBanjo87]

They lose a lot of time by having very slow-moving pod vehicles

[simpsonstudio193]

virgil is having to do the work.

[RyouRan]

I love how the puppets have two heads. Virgil gets a different "troubled" head later, right?

[quizmaster85]

@RyouRan In fact, a few more heads would pop up later in the series :)
