I still love them today, they had such good storylines and always saved the day. I was glued to the TV and now really appreciate just how much effort and creativity went into making each episode. The special effects were quite advanced for the time.

Thunderbirds

A great tv show from the 60's/70's. Many people will remember the animated puppets whose mission was
to save the world - with each mission starting with the immortal words - Thunderbirds are go!
We LOVE Thunderbirds 😊
We watch it on YouTube, 34 full episodes of the original broadcasts.
We find watching these (or Captain Scarlet 😜) instead of the news makes for a far more happier day 🥰

My brother and I watched them ALL the time. We even had models of the Space rocket ( TB3 ) I think (Me) and TB2 ( the "carry all) Steven , although that one didn't open & carry stuff. I'm 68 & still remember our rescues.
 
Yes, sure do.. .Thunderbirds are go! Very well done back then with those lifelike puppets! Fab show...loved it!

I used to watch this with my son when he was little. Great show, very enjoyable. I found it on TV recently and enjoyed it all over again.

Lucky you. I would have love a Lady Penelope Doll.
I didn't have any of the toys unfortunately. I used to love how they used to get the puppets to "sweat" when they were on a tough mission in a hot situation, and usually they only just "made it" in time, very intense. They also had lovely outfits to wear - all handmade by someone talented. Alot went into making this show. See Utube for the story.

The Andersons certainly had a hit with this show.
