I sold my Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Joe90 annuals a long time ago. 

Ooh God! Not the woman who shocked people at the Melbourne Cup with her short dress! 

One of the Freeview channels, possibly ch82 Talking Pictures, has run most of all the various series at various times. I think they tend to be in school holidays. I've definately seen Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds, and Stingray advertised on there (no, I didn't watch them, but they are still good despite their age).

£250 for a plastic TB2??  
A pic of a Person Of Restricted Growth holding a 1/144 scale model??

In later life I watched 'Terrahawks' which was quite adult for a programme aimed at youngsters

You mean this one?

Someone buy the girl a hat.

Hard to believe she's 83 now and living in Cornwall.



Guess we'll have to celebrate 30 October 1965 as the 60th Anniversary of That Dress now... all thanks to Gerry Anderson and @Bealman

That's the picture! 

Cheers, Bob!

Mind you, at time, I was a kid in school in Durham!

Bit late to this one, but like others TB2 was my favourite.
As for Jean, like George I was still in primary school, but mine was in Bedfordshire

The set and vehicle builders for Thunderbirds etc were great kit bashers. It wasn't just plastic kits they used. They also raided the kitchen - the Thunderbird 1 launch hall has a lemon squeezer on the wall for example.

That was so that the rescues would be easy peasy lemon squeezy...
