I hated them they were creepy

I loved them. You can still see them on night time and early morning TV. So weird to watch and see how far we've come with technology.

i watched a doco on how they were made and the sets! Absolutely fascinating! The work that went into them was next level.

I didn't know they were PUPPETS. You get very absorbed in characters. LEARN EVERY DAY

I love this show and have seen most episodes and the making of the show about Gerry Anderson. I think this show is great for kids and better than watching some of the kids programs on today. They put so much effort into making each episode with all the special effects and a storyline for each episode. I recorded The Thurnderbirds on VCR tapes and have just scored a hardly used VCR/DVD player to replay them on! Some of the rescue attemps were filled with all sorts of drama with the characters "sweating", really tense.

My wife and I are watching the Thunder Birds now, what great memories.

Loved the shows then and Love the shows now. My favourite was Lady Penelope and Parker in the pink limo.

My dad ‘bought’ me a Lady Penelope doll which I treasured. I found out many years later he got it for free at the petrol station lol. Doesn’t matter, I got so much enjoyment from that toy. My mum used to make clothes for her. Eat your heart out Barbie, my Penny was way better dressed lol

 

[PLK]

Yes Lady Penelope outfits were spectacular. You were very lucky to have the doll.

Must admit to not watching one episode...didn't interest me at all back then. The only puppets that I remember watching was Punch and Judy....that was funny .

 

[wheeliebin4]

Scared of them.

 

[Bezz]

Creepy looking, never keen on them.

Funnily enough, being a MotoGP fan I find that the motor bike riders in all their protective leathers & airbags have to walk in a fashion similar to the movements of the Thunderbird puppets - I have a giggle every time I watch the bikes.
