I always loved the original Thunderbirds. It was great tv for its time. But, I have always had questions:
- why were the launch procedures of the craft so complicated?
- why did the Tracy brothers nearly always wear the same clothes?
- what had John done that was so bad that he was almost always banished to the space station?
- why did John wear his uniform at all times when he lived alone?
- what did John do for fun?
- how come no-one could detect T5 in orbit?
- why weren’t IR working all the time? Surely people are in danger at all times, day and night?
- although IR said no photographs, we have to be anonymous, plenty of people knew their names and their link to Lady Penelope…
- how did the craft fly? When they were coming in to land, they seemed to hover with no engines burning. Then they fired downwards and this made them go downwards. Then they stopped firing jets, and settled gently to the ground, rather than falling like stones. How is this even possible?
- why are T2’s wings on backwards?
- how did The Hood get his name? Who does he work for?
