I've just enabled article comments for the wiki pages as a bit of experiment to see what happens. I'd like this site to really become a community for Thunderbirds fans and that means having a go at using some of these newer tools.
What's on your mind?

Hey everyone, I’m sorry to bother you all and I know this is already old news, but I wanted to talk to you all about what could have been a big theatrical him. I want to talk about, Thunderbirds Beyond the Horizon
I wanted to talk about because it’s now been 6 years since anyone has ever heard about it and we still haven’t got anything about it.
Just looking back in the only videos we got makes me wish we could get a full video of the performance of the show.
Who knows, maybe someday in the future, we might get any news about it in the future and we might get something on it.
If not, they we’ll just have to keep hoping.

Some day when the time comes, we will be able to board Thunderbird 2 and stop the Hood.
If only that time would come
Not sure if I should post this here or on the talk page for John Tracy... but I can always move the discussion if I need to.
If it's true John Tracy was supposed to be the hero of the show before Anderson decided his marionette didn't fit, was it a straight swap with one of the others? (I'm assuming Scott.) Or did all the brothers get their roles jigged around?
For the first time in a looooong time, classic Thunderbirds is back on British television - free to air no less! After starting to broadcast Fireball XL5 earlier in the year, Talking Pictures TV have secured the rights to the original Thunderbirds television series - and, if the trailer is to be believed, the Anniversary Episodes too).
Catch it on channel 82 every Saturday at 3pm.

Hello,
For those who are unaware, this weekend (Saturday 6th May 2023) marked the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of his other Realms and Territories, Lord of Mann, Duke of Normandy, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Head of the Commonwealth, Head (Commander-in-Chief) of the various Armed Forces, Defender of the Faith, etc.
Having watched the coronation of His Majesty, and that of HM's wife Camilla as Queen, I wondered whether Thunderbirds should have done an unofficial special, where at least somebody from their universe shows up, thwarting some threat to the day or something like that.
I don't know, a shot of FAB1 getting parked up, or Lady Penelope taking the Peers' Oath of Allegiance or whatever it is that peers normally do, or Virgil getting annoyed that he wasn't asked to perform for the concert yesterday (Sunday 7th May 2023), or something like that.
What do you guys think? I think it's a missed opportunity.
I'm looking for any information on how to get a copy of the background artwork hanging on the back wall in the Parola Sands Raceway Cocktail Lounge. As seen below from the episode "Move And Your Dead". Any help would be appreciated.

I was trying to find out if there was any info about how long each series was in universe (as it were). So we know the first series starts in 2060 because someone (Virgil, I think) explicitly states it in one of the opening episodes. That puts series one episode Breakdown August 15th 2060.
Jeff's accident is described as "8 years ago" in mid series three. But beyond that I'm not sure if there is much discussed that alludes to how much time has passed.
Is there any further information about the in universe timeline or is it all speculation? It feels realistic to assume that each series would be at least six months if not a year. Though I also wouldn't be surprised if they directly followed on from each other because TAG seems to imply the IR boys are impossibly busy (Gordon says the record is 51 hours without a mission) then it might just be possible for all three series to be set within twelve months or so start to finish.
Apologies if this info is in a really obvious place, I could find it when searching.
