They made two films, released in 1966 and 1968. Neither were really any goodGotta be honest Tim, I've never seen any films of it... Just remember,and rewatched, the series.
. The first one had a sluggish plot line including a really tedious nightclub section featuring cliff and the shadows….yawn a minute…..the second did have the hood, and ended up with a tiger moth as thunderbird six……but by then the series had been eclipsed by Captain Scarlet…..
Fair enough.. I can't comment on stuff that I haven't even seenThey made two films, released in 1966 and 1968. Neither were really any good
Yep, remember that as well.As we're on this subject...
Do you remember "Project UFO"?!!
I LOVED that,..
...the S.H.A.D.O. Interceptors,and S.H.A.D.O 2 Mobile vehicle...
Loved all that.
Tim it was the fire flash airliner not the thunder flash lolBloody brilliantPossibly the greatest kids TV show of all time (for boys anyway). Superb theme tune, exciting story lines, and thunder flash…..the only passenger plane more dangerous than the Tu-144…..
What a great subject…..I can hear that theme tune thundering out as I type….
Correct of course Chris….where I got thunderflash I just don’t know……it was in the first ever episode if I remember right…….
Still no distribution network then….bummer! Have you just tried a search on Thunderbirds on US YouTube? Something may come up! Try it, it will release your inner seven year oldTim, just can't watch these 'caus the uploader has not made these available in the U.S.
Good to see you join up.... even if you don't know what you've joined up to!!I'm following this Smiffy, just to find out what you are all going on about. I like Jakko am completely in the dark on this apparently short lived TV show. I will admit to seeing some builds on the forum of some rocket ships 1 through 5? and some references made to thunderbirds but never made the connection for some reason. I think I do remember the six wheeled pink RR......didn't Corgi make a diecast replica of that vehicle? It all sounds interesting and has certainly elevated the blood pressure of this ordinarily mundane group of mostly senior citizens!
Shame you can't view those videos, it's such an iconic series I'm surprised that you can't find it anywhere over your side. 
Very succinct and to the point there Andrew.
Samecan't watch these 'caus the uploader has not made these available in the U.S.
Oh the memories, the memories
That's so cool Dave,Here you go folks:
Come along, Parker - What Happened to FAB 1 - Petrolheadism
Petrolheads of a certain age would have watched similar programs while growing up, some programs may have even influence their passion for cars. One TV car that sticks in my mine was not even a real car. The famous Rolls Royce ‘FAB1’ was a model, until 1966, when a full-sized replica of FAB 1...petrolheadism.com
Now eat your hearts out as I once saw this parked in the High Street of my local shopping centre as a kid!!
....Just watched the launch sequence........Nope, not seen these on the TV, BUT....we did have something similar called Fireball 500 if memory serves. I can see the attraction to the mind of a seven yr. old, if you didn't grow up with it however, one would find it a little lacking given the present state of technology in this sort of thing. I shall now revert back to my former grumpy old self and sit back and watch the kids go at it.
