It's a bit tricky, I seem to have lost the thread a bit... there's trains (monorails with gasturbine propulsion) and planes and pink Rolls Royces and all sorts of things going on.

But with no strings attached...

Lady Penelope & Sir Jeremy have been kidnapped off the train in a tunnel...

I liked that one - she was lowered in front of the train....

She was rescued at the last second - sorry to spoil the ending

BTW the kids preferred Thunderbirds the movie - puppetry is not enough these days.

I have all the episodes plus film on DVD...

Hang on, hang on... I thought you said it was a monorail....

I love the concept of keeping a rocket on the pad for 3 minutes with the engines running at full whack...

Any six year old could explain it to you.

It's to build up the power so it shoots off faster. Duh.

You've just been confused by that Newtonian stuff they filled your head with at school.

The whole point of the idiot lantern is that you switch your brain OFF while watching.

And they're going to the sun... which is why the episode is called "Sunprobe"...

That is one of my favourites since it featured the rarely seen Alan in TB3 & the elusive John in in TB5

Usually it was always about Scott or bleeding Virgil (in my best Alan Rickman voice)

Troll, I thought your Godlike status was owing to your posting ability. Now I see it is due to your cultural taste and avatar selection ability.

Sir, your humble servant.
