Thunderbirds Are Go

I thought my kids would like this 60s TV show. I was wrong. They love it. They’re obsessed with it. They draw it, they play it, it’s all they talk about!

I’m still a fan after all these years, but have a softer spot for Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.

We were mad for all of these as kids, best things on TV. Preceded, as far as I remember, by Supercar, Fireball XL5 and Stingray. Good old Gerry and Sylvia Anderson and their Supermarionation!

For can’t-look-can’t-look-away creepiness it’s difficult to beat Clutch Cargo Synchro Vox

It sounds like getting the opportunity to travel the world as a part of Uncle Sugars fighting forces wasn't such a bad way to go.

Wait until they watch "Team America World Police" because they think it's the same thing.

Man you got weird kids. Or in other words you must be doing something right.

I saw that movie as a kid in a theater on a huge screen and loved it. The models were pretty amazing! The marionettes were just actors to me at the time.
I recently saw it again. Seeing marionette smoking, boozing and acting sexy is both bizarre and hilarious.

Had to look it up. Pretty much guessed it wasn't fortified wine or USAF team. 60s UK TV show. If it's not "Benny Hill Show", or "Monty Python's Flying Circus", I wouldn't have got it right.

The good old British class system - I just realised that Lady Penelope's chauffeur, Parker, doesn't feature in the opening credits. Scandalous, in this day and age!

That’s hilarious. My wife wants to see it. I showed her the trailer.

I’m looking this up. I might be regretting this if the kids see it.

There are no bad Thunderbirds. The 70s models were underpowered. But they were nice rides. Sometimes that’s enough.

I got them started on this last night. My wife isn’t happy.
