Thunderbirds - Gerry Andersen's Classic Supermarination Series

Postby ftldave » Sun Dec 23, 2012 12:12 am

A holiday treat from Crackle.com: the original Thunderbirds series, free for viewing.

The Thunderbirds Christmas show: GIVE OR TAKE A MILLION

And the episode that started it all: TRAPPED IN THE SKY

5-4-3-2-1! Thunderbirds are GO!

Did you expect me to read the entire sentence describing this show?

I prefer composer Barry Gray's original excellent soundtrack. Pink Floyd's great. Ummagumma's probably my favorite.

I'm glad to find another Barry Gray fan here. I just love listening to any of his music.

My favourite is probably the Zero-X theme from the Thunderbirds movie

Gerry was and is a genius (although now tragically suffering from Altzheimer's). I've got Captain Scarlett, Joe 90, Terrahawks but above all Thunderbirds in my DVD collection.
My kids love Thunderbirds and I've had some real quality cuddle up with daddy time watching them whilst the wife has been cooking.
F.A.B!

A tragic loss for us all Paul. Lets face it the thespianic work in Thunderbirds was far less wooden than that of all soap-operas ;D
Gerry, we all know you're F.A.B ;)

Gerry also did some shows with live actors. One of my favorites was UFO.
