It’s Thunderbirds like you’ve never seen it before! Andrew Clements returns to the show and this time he’s brought along a rare piece of Thunderbirds history for us to study. We’ll be exploring the unused 2011 production bible for a reboot of Thunderbirds that never was. Complete with radically redesigned characters, vehicles, and backstory, this is a fascinating example of how the beloved series could have returned to our television screens in an alternative form.

Thunderbirds – 17. Desperate Intruder
Brains is placed firmly in the centre of the action in this week’s episode as he becomes the only member of International Rescue to meet The Hood one on one. When an attempt was made to give him a prominent role in Day of Disaster he ended up being sidelined as the comic relief. Here the focus is only deadly danger and some of the most disturbing moments ever seen in Thunderbirds. There’s no question that The Hood is back to the level of nasty last seen way back in Trapped In The Sky.
Thunderbirds – 13. Terror In New York City
There’s no doubt that for most Thunderbirds fans, Terror In New York City is a classic. I first saw it as part of the Countdown to Disaster VHS compilation feature alongside Atlantic Inferno. Needless to say it was a tape that I watched as often as I could. The episode delivers not just one, but two standout moments which push the format of the series to the limit, giving us two of the most catastrophic and dramatic disasters ever seen in Thunderbirds.
