I love it when Thunderbird 2 comes in to land! The way she fires her boosters, creating a lot of white smoke. And then the way she emerges from the smoke. It's beautiful.
Utterly iconic television when it did that.
Every time I watch one of your deep delves, I always learn something new. I sit watching with a silly grin on my face, and I catch myself nodding a lot. I adore your examination of the characterisations of each of the Tracey brothers and the revelations you make that I hadn't even thought about before. I'm enjoying the University of Thunderbirds, but mostly I'm enjoying your observational presentations of a world that was such a big part of my childhood. FAB work 😎🤗❣️
Always happy to put a silly grin on your face 😁
Thank you @LeahRebeccaUK for watching and enjoying my video your support means so much 😊
I loved Thunderbird's, and I was old enough to enjoy it in the 60s. Plus I was fortunate enough to be a native Californian who started school in England. My favorite was Thunderbird 4, but I also enjoyed Thunderbird 2. I had a metal Thunderbird 2, which came with four in a pod. I also had a spectrum pursuit vehicle, and Fireball X15. So yeah, I was a fan of Gerry Anderson and didn't know it. (I may have had more vehicles; but it was long ago.)
As always, thank you so very much for the video.
And thank you - I didn't know about the "Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds" album cover.
I’ve said this before but I envy your generation getting to watch all those great shows the first time around.
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.
TB3 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
TB4 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thunderbird 2 is very much the Enterprise D, big and cuddly, there to help through thought before violence. Though her carrying the other vehicles also reminds me of the Phoenix from Battle of the Planets/G-Force. T4, the D, the Phoenix are the home away from home.
I was just the wrong age and here in canada. 3 of my brothers and I never got to see thunderbirds or UFO, but my oldest brother did and would regal us with the tales of thunderbirds and UFO while we waited for the next Space1999 episode. However he had the TB2 matchbox toy made of metal with a plastic TB4 inside the pod. That's why TB2 is my fav.
Part of the attraction of Thunderbird 2 = It will rescue you and there is room in it for you. You can play a part in deploying all that cool stuff. And Virgil is cool.
But does it have the gear to rescue to people and country of Britain from the politicians?
Of course Thunderbird 2 is the coolest thing ever! Come on so great it even carries the next best Thunderbird....Thunderbird 4. Though Lady P's pink Rolls was damn cool to me as a kid in the 60s even if it was pink.
I named fab 1 my favourite Gerry Anderson vehicles once….I lived to regret it though 😂
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.
Love it bro, really enjoying these deep dives, they bring me right back to my childhood. My favouritie as a kid was always TB2, had all the toys and it was by far the best one other than Tracy Island! Can't wait for the last video in this series to drop.
Thanks mate am glad you enjoyed it !!!
You had to rub it in about Tracy island though didn’t you 😂😂😂
@@thedeclineandfallofbritishsci if it makes you feel any better I got it a year after it was cool haha
I had to wait 30 years for my one 😂
@@thedeclineandfallofbritishsci did you try and make the Blue Peter one?
No but you just gave me an idea for my Christmas special
TB1 gets there first , all Scott does is put some cones out
NO ONE GETS RESCUED , until the big Green Bird gets There!!!
Virgil was the MVP and the GOAT
That comment made me literally LOL 😂 because it’s so true !!! challenge accepted for the Thunderbird 1 video now 🤣
The only reason TB1 needs to go out first is so they know what pod TB2 should bring.
But who actually maintains the gear and funds the operations?
Lady Penelope: Briatin needs saving from the Politicians. Calling International Rescue. Calling International Rescue.
Geoff Tracy: What's wrong?
Lady Penelope: The people and country of Britain needs saving from the politicians.
Geof Tracy: Sorry. This is the first time International Rescue have failed as we don't have the equipmnet..
Lady Penelope: (spots Parker equipped with a spiked baseball bat) PARKER??
Parker: Sorry M'lady. If IR can't help Britain than us, the british people'll have to save ourselves. If I was you I'd request Thunderbird 2 and the mole to rescue the politicians.
TB1 = Jeremy Clarkson
TB2 = James May
