Thunderbirds Are Go (series)

Thunderbirds Are Go is a 2015 Continuity Reboot of Gerry Anderson's classic Thunderbirds TV show, by ITV and WETA. Where the original was made using puppets ("in SUPERMARIONATION", as the title sequence declared), Are Go uses computer-generated characters, although they still use physical models for the vehicles and locations.

International Rescue is a secretive organization who rescue people in danger, consisting of the Tracy brothers and making use of five (plus one) powerful vehicles, known as the Thunderbirds. In addition to the usual dangers that come with being a rescue organization, they are also in conflict with a mysterious individual known as The Hood, who seems to be responsible for the loss of their father.


 * Darker and Edgier: Not by much, but Jeff Tracy, the boys' father, is missing and presumed dead, and The Hood is somehow involved. That International Rescue needs a Head of Security also says something.
 * Shout Out: To other Anderson works.
 * Jeff Tracy's favorite TV show is Stingray.
 * The "head" of the underwater lab from Episode 1 resembles the cockpit of the Eagle transporters from Space: 1999.
 * Talking to Himself: Rasmus Hardiker voices both Scott and Alan, and David Menkin voices both Virgil and Gordon.
