The ending of the Thunderbirds Are Go movie, with the Thunderbirds theme song being played by the Royal Marines always brings a joyful tear to my eye. Thunderbirds isn’t just a British series, it’s a British Masterpiece! I find that the world would’ve been very different if Gerry hadn’t created Thunderbirds, this show was my childhood! As an adult, it’s always one of my top favorites! Thunderbirds ARE, and will ALWAYS BE GO!🌩🕊

Andrew Hamshare Hey I'm sorry here about your loss. I lost both my parents this year. Sir, my heart goes out to you as I stand with you offering comfort, heart to heart and soul to soul!!!! I remember seeing the Thunderbirds as a child. This was one of my favorite shows. The theme always stood out to me. I think of this theme sometimes, when I'm inspecting and preparing my 10 car train for service in the mornings in NYC. And when I'm ready to proceed into service I call out over the radio to the train dispatcher in the tower: 'THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!!'🙂💪🏻👍🏻
@@adriancooper78 One of my personal favourite things on my 1 week holiday in New York was the immense beauty of your trains. Also when we went to Vegas I stood watching the snaking trains for ages. Dad visited NY as a young RM Bandsman. He played Carnegie hall amongst others.

@@andrewhamshare2511 what a fantastic legacy to leave behind......I'm sure he passed the batton on to you and shut his eyes knowing he had had a full life which is about as much as we can all ask for. Gives me goosebumps everytime I watch this....as it did the first time I watched it as a boy.
Must've heard it a million times as a child but this is the first time Ive realised how good the theme is especially played by a British military band.
Your comment makes me smile reminiscent of 1966 when Thunderbirds was aired in Japan on Sunday evenings at 6:00 pm. Kids on their way home from school on Saturday afternoon used to remind each other saying "Make sure to watch Thunderbirds!". We never failed to keep this commitment, as missing it meant being left out of boys' conversation on the following Monday.

You must be talking about series 2. When I watched the episodes on VHS (Polygram volume 8) as a child in the mid-2000s, it didn't "seem right" to me for some reason. Looking back, the only episodes I REALLY don't like are Security Hazard and Give or Take a Million.
I had to have a look at his bio after seeing this - his career was amazing. Gerry and Sylvia really looked after him, bringing him to pretty much everything they did. He also was in The Spy Who Loved Me, and had voice jobs (uncredited) in three other Bond films. Writer, Actor, Voice actor self proclaimed "Rent-a-Yank" despite being from Toronto.
Had this on VHS as a little boy. Loved it then, love it now. I now work as a bus driver and call the service van at work "thunderbird 2" and am starting to introduce my two little boys to this gem of a series aged 2 and 4.
I grew up watching Thunderbirds, and the fact that the marines play their march is just great. Every time I watch this, and there's been many a time; it really does make my cheeks wobble. Proud to be a BRIT!
Love the bit at the end "none of the characters appearing in this photoplay intentionally resemble any persons living or dead... since they do not yet exists!"
@@LikeTheBuffalo I don't play an instrument but I can tell it's a difficult one to master. The trombone bit in Ravel's Bolero rarely soynds the same twice.

Amazing theme from one of the most amazing tv shows of all time.I own all these Gerry Anderson shows on dvd and first saw this at age eight and I still love it.Everyone involved making this and his other shows were geniuses.Plus even the newer CGI version is great.
I was born in 1986, so missed the initial release of Thunderbirds, but got totally sucked in to the awe of it when it was repeated in the 90s and it became all the rage. Love it.
@TheGroundedAviator No he wasn't tbh, well he may have been, just a little. There use to be a little independent video rental shop about a 5-10 minute walk from where we lived when I was a kid and I distinctly remember us hiring out Bill & Ben the Flower Pot Men (the original show in black and white) and Thuderbirds. It was great being a kid of the 90s because the 80s wasn't so old and was still relevant, but we had all the cool shit happening around us lol. Good Times.
on very good authority, Thunderbirds is appreciated by the submarine service and by the Royal Navy in general. There is massive disappointment if the Bandies don't play it.
+Luke Pierce I know that the Guards battalions play it when changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace. I have also heard that the booties like to play it and one bootie Major actually launched an investigation when it was not played at a decommissioning ceremony
To summarise as someone who is at the start of there RNR career and someone who grew up in a family of ex veteran RN, RNR, RMR, RM it’s appreciated by all and something to look forward to hearing with the RM band. Thunderbirds are go!
@kelbag07 I thoroughly enjoyed this Royal Marine closing credit when I saw it for the first time when I was in grade school. I absolutely enjoyed it again when I recently purchased a DVD of Thunderbird "Zero-X." Big thanks to your late father! He is watching you and all of the fans of Thurderbird from heaven!
Charles Tingwell was better known as Bud Tingwell in Australia. He was known as a dramatic actor and he was also a Spitfire fighter pilot in WW2 in northern Australia. He did some comedy spots on the ABC in the 90's. 1923-2009.
The beauty of Tbirds, Supercar, Stingray and all of Gary Andersons work is that it absolutely spurred your imagination. As a kid, I was enthralled by Tbirds and I used to draw each craft on paper, cut them out and glue them to cardboard and then play for hours on the floor with my green soldiers and Matchbox cars. Can you imagine a kid today doing that?

I remember the band would start playing this at Deal when they were between the band block and the accommodation, the sound just bounced off the walls.
That background of deal barracks bring back memories ! I spent a week there square bashing & basic training in summer 1977 when i was one of afew hundred who spent time there we came from all over country - staying there on a basic training course as just as marine cadets !! The white garages at one side of parade square at the time the household-cavalry were using it, there was the church behind not in the picture but was often used for ironing our blues uniform , mess room was a good food there & a cinema they also shown us training films on safety films eg - how weapons are not used properly etc ..The end of the week we were parading with the junior marine band to the commander of the barracks !!!
I spent the briefest of time during my military career with the military police in Canada. The symbol we had was the Thunderbird. Surprised they haven’t adopted the show’s theme as the official regimental march.

We used to request this al the time for Divisions at Dartmouth. Well, either this or The Great Escape! The Band would line up just in front of us before marching on, always loved it with live music.
Always thought it was an odd ending yet somehow exceptionable! Cant help but notice the 'THE END' frame was filmed on a clearly rainy day when rest is all sunshine!
The word "Fun " and that parade ground at Deal ... [ and / or the drill shed there.] . NEVER ... went together in the same sentence..In my experience..:)
@@user-deal6364 Fair enough. They probably thought so beforehand as it was new and silly. But from what I hear it's now a tune played by UK military bands?
shit that sent shivers down my spine, happy days and memories, I had many troubles a s kid, this was one of my escapist moments, that along with Joe 90, space 1999, UFO
@charliebigcmiller I am so sorry to hear of this, friend - your grandfather was certainly very good at what he did, and he did it well. May he rest in peace.
@kelbag07 That's something to be proud of kelbag07. Not just being in the Thunderbirds movie of course, but being a fine musician in HM Royal Marines is a great achievement in itself! ;-)
@policest1100 thanks, thought so and I found some old pics online too that show the buildings. Went there twice as a cadet in the 80s. Tragic that they closed it.
Just everything about this is eccentric, enigmatic and brilliant. There is no rhyme or reason to it - why should it be filmed at Deal? Why should Vivian Dunn actually be shown? Why should this combine with quirky comments on screen with the credits? But it's just wonderful class, as is even the reference to Cliff Richard and The Shadows, whose contributions to this movie also gave it real star quality. What innovation and ambition, all mixed in with tradition and complete nuttiness. It takes the breath away really...
It sometimes makes me wonder how I found that VCR tape from the late 70s in early 2000s. Without my curiosity I wouldn't even know what this piece was.

It's overdubbed mate. The Band in the clip isn't playing live. It's an overdubbed track.
@@wanderer1955Still pretty fine playing tho.
@@phillipecook3227 Agreed 👍
I heard that it is now popular with the British military.
Royal Marines band still played it
Born in ‘98 and my grandad got me into Thunderbirds as a kid.
I remember Thunderbirds used to be on Sunday evening at 5pm. Not a kid on the street to be seen at that time. Great times!
^_^ great!!!

RIP Gerry Anderson, creator of Thunderbirds, I loved you work which made great impact on my childhood, and may it never be forgotten !!
Its so darn fantastic when a military band plays a theme such as this. These musicians are very gifted and quite spectacular to watch, well done lads.
R.I.P. Sylvia Anderson. You will be missed Mi'lady. :'(
There is no band that plays this March better than the Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines and the legendary Lieutenant Colonel Vivian Dunn !!
And I once believed the Royal Marines were part of the Thunderbirds! Brings back so many fond memories my childhood. THUNDERBIRDS ARE (FOREVER) GO!
absolutely bloody brilliant! .. RIP Gerry and Sylvia you were a major part of my growing up x
Puppets acting and a live band playing the closing credits...TRULY BRITTISH AND CLASSIC!!
I grew up watching Thunderbirds, and the fact that the marines play their march is just great. Every time I watch this, and there's been many a time; it really does make my cheeks wobble. Proud to be a BRIT!
Love it so many childhood memories ❤️😃
Use to live right behind that barrack block , they were absolute amazing just to here them practicing , we were so lucky to have you here in Deal .
classic British humour there though: since they do not yet exist.
THIS IS LEGITIMATELY THE BEST THING I HAVE SEEN ON RUclips IN A VERY LONG TIME :)))))
Thunderbirds has been my childhood grewing up
one of the best theme ever,,

@@andy24386 Oh, ok, that's quite a cool story as well.
Just the usual one I've heard was kids getting into it through their parent's enthusiasm.

I always remember being at the Aldershot Army Day when the Royal Marines did this - only 7 at the time, and still one of my favourite memories
I always loved watching this at the end of that movie when I was a kid.
The years only add luster to this video and this march.
LOVE THAT : NONE OF THE CHARACTERS APPEARING IN THIS PHOTOPLAY INTENTIONALLY RESEMBLE ANY PERSONS LIVING OR DEAD... SINCE THEY DO NOT YET EXIST !
Can you prove it though?
Technically that isn't true as the puppet of Lady Penelope was based on Sylvia Anderson
@@jacksmales4973 oh yeah I forgot lol
@@Sirraoul The voice she used for the character was also the one that was most like her natural voice apparently
1:24 That made me chuckle.
I'm impressed with the Supermarionation in this film. Those puppets look so real, and they finally figured out the realistic walking problem.
Always brings a smile to my face!
From what little I know (I'm no expert on Forces matters), the RAF in particular love the Thunderbirds March...
that would suit them
