Connections Featured in Dogs in Space User reviews 46 Review. Top review. Wonderful wonderful Thunderbirds. Thunderbirds was a major part of my childhood. It did not matter how many times we watched the episodes they remained as fresh as the first viewing. There is a lot of camp humour about the puppets dangling around on their strings but I never noticed that much due to the brilliant idea of never making the characters actually walk.
Seriously you watch the TV episodes again you never see anyone put one foot in front of the other. Even the lithe brave Tracys scoot around on little hoverbikes that defy all the laws of physics. Then Captain Scarlet came along and shot down the Thunderbirds.
That was quite a good series but it never gripped me as much. Then the years rolled by with only TV21 to keep my appetite for the show nourished until even that with its full colour photos from the show came to an end. Reluctantly I had to leave the Tracy's world and return to my own.
The entire series was released on DVD. I had to own it! With trepidation I inserted the first disk. Would the show seem childish and crude against my current diet of StarTrek, Starwars and all the others.
