Thunderbirds (original) First episode highlights - Fireflash

From the first episode of the original Thunderbirds, some highlights of the story Fireflash. The youngsters may laugh at this now, but it used some of the best special effects of its day. A number of the team went on to work in some major films in the technical effects area.

Those Tracey boys always seemed to have the right equipment for every conceivable occasion and Lady Penelope's elan was matched only by her discretion! Thanks for posting this. I remember watching this as a 7 year old in the mid-sixties being utterly absorbed in the adventures of International Rescue - even if it was in black and white in those days.

Youngsters may laugh today but remember all this is real, no god awful CGI like in the terrible Thunderbirds movie of several years a go.

@astrocitizen That's easy. On the rare occasions visitors come or when supplies are delivered to the island, its always quicker by plane so la runway would be logical

The problem with the 2004 movie, is that the writing was aimed at kids who never seen the show. A mature movie is feesable. The story just has to be aimed totally at Adults. Lets say, many years later . All the Tracy sons have professional careers. However, an Earth catastrophe is looming. The brothers re-unite at the behest of NATO.

Best palm trees ever.

I'm in my late 40's and still enjoy watching this show. Kids today can say what they want, or even adults,but this show was awesome to watch. I was always fascinated with the miniatures and special effects. I even enjoyed the character as well as Barry Gray's musical score. Kids today are deprived of such imagination like this.
