A fairly briefpages but comprehensive guide to the best known Supermarionation show, A lot of things that I hadn't realised about Thunderbirds that there were only two seasons, with onlypisodesin the first series,in the second that the original halfhour episodes were bulked out to full hour length after Lew Grade demanded that they be made longer that there had been two feature films in thes which both crashed dismally in the theatres that the reallife International Rescue Corps was deliberately named after the fictional International Rescue.


I was also a bit surprised that there was so little crossover with Doctor Who, which was in its early years at the time Thunderbirds was being made.
Several of the lead voice actors appeared once or twice in Who, but the only person from behind the scenes whose name I spotted was Dennis Spooner, who must have gone straight from his job as script editor for Verity Lambert to writing six episodes for Gerry Anderson, possibly even doing both at the same time.
I scrutinised the summaries of Spooner's Thunderbirds stories for the record, they were Day of Disaster, End of the Road, Vault of Death, The Mighty Atom, The Imposters and Cry Wolf to see if I could spot common themes with The Reign of Terror, The Romans, The Time Meddler and the second half of The Daleks' Master Plan, but I'm afraid I drew a blank.


I was surprised to read that the twos films did so badly, considering that the Peter Cushing movie versions of Doctor Who, which came out at about the same time, performed at least respectably.
I suppose that the large screen does puppets very few favours, where at least human actors still look like human actors when in close up, Perhaps there were failures of marketing as well,

Now that we are almost half way fromto the stories' setting of, it is interesting to consider how Anderson's vision of the future is at variance with our reality.
One point that really struck me was the impossibility of International Rescue keeping its location and methods secret, In, photographs were real concrete objects which could be stolen, confiscated, hidden or destroyed, Nowadays any Thunderbird mission would find itself instantly on YouTube, and Tracy Island would be a popular sight on Google Earth, It's also interesting that the show had nonwhite characters in it from the start, even if one of them is the villain and the other two, though allies of the Tracy family, are vulnerable to his mental powers.


Anyway, it makes me inclined to do a full watchthrough of Thunderbirds I don't think I have seen even half of it at some time in the future when other projects are complete.
I never cared for merchandise: GI Joe, the Ninja Turtles, . . the cartoons were enough.
Until a weirdlooking SF show returned to the small screen in the mid's with a bombastic musical score not unlike James Bond or the old Roman epics.


This is truly a Bible

an indispensable, deep and refreshing source of background info for every Thunderbirds lover,
what inspired the storylines
who was a model for the puppets
what did the stage look like once you zoom out enough to see the puppeteers
In short, how did they manage to create this timeless illusion

A brief, yet insightful view into all things in the world of Classic Thunderbirds.
It is extremely comprehensive, covering the entire series from the initial idea to the production of the feature films,

As a big Thunderbirds fan, I found this book to be very interesting, even if I was aware if much of the history previously,

Would definitely recommend this book to anyone, whether you are simply interested or have been a longterm fan, A comprehensive guide to all thirtytwo TV episodes and the two feature films, with information about regular cast and guests, together with notes and fascinating asides, .
