    Great series, great thanks ❤. Another role for Scott is to gather intelligence at the danger zone as he is first to arrive.

    Thanks, enjoyed your synopsis of the Thunderbirds! My personal favorite was Thunderbird 2 and Scot my favorite brother. I heard that Scott's appearance was based on James Garner, which made sense to me since Anderson was trying to appeal to American audiences. But I could believe a young Sean and James were both inspiration for Scott.

    Still giggling at psychotic speeder...
    A fantastic and fitting conclusion to what has been a very polished, clever, and wholly enjoyable series. The fact that this is the last in there series also brings with it a tinge of sadness. As others have already said, I hope you do more. Your work is intelligent, engaging, and totally absorbing. I hope we all get the opportunity to hear a lot more from you and this channel. In the meantime, congratulations, and very well done. It's been a FAB journey 😎👌👍

    And sadly we end on my least favourite of the machines, that comment was so true and exactly why I never loved TB1! Great video as always though! I can sympathise with Mrs Sci-Fi as my wife also has to watch a lot of stuff she has no interest with me haha

    Found your channel through the Threads video about an hour ago, then saw this upload by pure chance. Honest to god just what I need to bring me back after such a harrowing film/video essay.
    Thunderbirds is my FAVOURITE TV show of all time. It looks like I have a series of videos to watch now!!

      I hope the series makes you feel better my friend that threads video was hard to make and harder to watch so I know how you feel.
      Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.

    4th....what do you mean 4th. Thunderbird 1 is the best! Also you ask why was it a rocket plane? Well, the fastest plane ever ( that has been declassified) was the Bell X-15 hypersonic Rocket plane. It just makes sense as no air breathing plane is ever going to go that fast ( as an example, the Dark star in Top gun maverick goes Mach 10, that's 7672.7 MPH, less than half the speed of the mighty TB1). Anyway, great video dude, keep up the good work

      4th behind Tb4 Tb2 and Tb3 🐵. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel I’ve had so much fun with this series and you Gerry Anderson fans are such a great fandom.
      Tb1 is the closest to perfect looking and even in the 2015 series still turns heads.

    If they'd managed to get a live-action Thunderbirds movie back in the late 80s/early 90s, I would've wanted to see Tom Cruise as Scott... Move Or You're Dead is by far the best overall episode in my opinion. I've seen it three times. Once on first broadcast and I was on the edge of my seat... then, on the BBC2 revival around 2000 and fairly recently... stunning story telling and brilliant rolling road effects for the racing scenes.
    Yes, as a five year old the launches were WONDERFUL!
    As a sixty-five year, jaded and tired of life, the launches STILL don't disappoint. Really. They truly had lightning in a bottle with Thunderbirds - except for the annoying kids. They were ALWAYS annoying.

    That massive red piece of kit that he needs help to carry from TB1 ... is it just a very big radio?

    • @thedeclineandfallofbritishsci
      @thedeclineandfallofbritishsci  21 день назад

      The mobile control it is used to coordinate the rescue operation and it was used in the film to activate the escape unit on the zero x but yes you are right it is basically just a big radio. To make matters worse we often see rescues conducted without the need for it and sometimes Scott will just be seen just using a walkie talkie.

    What about "Thunderbird 6" (aka Tiger Moth)? I'll have to admit when, in the late 60s, I saw the Thunderbird six movie, I was disappointed. Will you follow up with the vehicles of "Fireball X-15", "Stingray", "Captain Scarlet", "U.F.O" or any of Gerry Anderson's series? (In addition to Thunderbird 1, and 2 (with 4), in my youth I also had some of the Spectrum videos.
    As always, thank you so very much for the videos.

      I’ve had so much fun with this series I’ll definitely be revisiting Gerry Anderson very soon , I even have an Idea for a video on the SPV.
      Thank you for watching and supporting the channel !!!
