I forgot to mention it! I Still watch all of these from time to time, I Have all the Thunderbirds/Space1999/Fireball XL-5/Stingray episodes on tape... About the Space 1999 wetlook stuff, yes there was a scene where it rained on the Moon (!!!! How silly is that???) everybody left Alpha to go and play outdoors in the rain! And there was also a scene where Alpha got attacked by FOAM!!! (And how silly is THAT???) But everybody was wearing their space suits to protect from the "Alien Foam Party Creature".... The foam was invading Alpha to the sound of "Mars-The bringer of war"... A CLASSIC!!! Alan Carter was my hero as a kid!!! I Still love watching those shows, even if they were silly, it was still better than anything on TV NOW.... And in all those shows the Barry Gary music was FABULOUS!! I Never got into UFO, but the outfits where sexy! But my personal favorite as a kid/teenager was without a doubt Daisy Duke... Them Duke boys had one pretty cousin! |

By MK - wamtec@compuserve.com Sun 27/06/04 03:15:54 GMT There is a pretty decent wet scene in one episode of Space 1999 too...a rain scene as I recall. You guys are probably too young to remember...but prior to FireBall XL5 there were Gerry's earlier shows from 1959 to 1963.., Twizzle, Torchy the Battery Boy, Four Feather Falls and Supercar...which were only shown in the UK I think...those were my earliest memories as a 5 year old.
Many of Gerry Anderson's ideas were kinda ripped off in later years by other tv shows...i.e. the 3 "Angels" fighter pilots in Captain Scarlett and the Mysterons from 1967...I am sure Aaron Spelling had that in mind when he cast his Charlies Angels series...cos they sure look familiar...likewise...look at the 1968 show "Joe 90" and compare that to the 1990's NBC series..."The Pretender"...and it is basically the same concept show.
Personally, I could never get into Space 1999...I preferred his earlier 1970 series "U.F.O"....mainly cos I loved all the miniskirts abd boots on that series...ha ha
The funniest thing that none of you guys have seen...was in the mid 1960's when Peter Cook and Dudley Moore did a comedy sketch based on the Thunderbirds characters. If they ever release footage from the old Peter Cook & Dudley Moore shows from the 1960's...their parody of Thunderbirds is a classic piece of comedy well worth tracking down.

By AnthonyX - anthonyx@jowc.net Sat 26/06/04 14:38:18 GMT Not sure what I want to say in response to that. Suffice to say that I also spent many hours watching the very same shows - probably appreciating them in much the same way! |

By MK - wamtec@compuserve.com Sat 26/06/04 10:28:30 GMT Website: http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/thunderbirds/index.html A guilty pleasure is something you know you should not really enjoy...but anybody who was a kid who grew up in the 1960's (as I did) always enjoyed watching "ThunderBirds" and all those other puppet series created by Gerry Anderson. The new live action movie that will debut next month is something many of us big kids have been waiting for. OK...so there are some wet scenes with passengers in a sunken bus and other underwater rescue stuff...this my kind of movie...see the cool trailer...

Actually...I blame Gerry Anderson for turning me into a wetlook weirdo back in 1964....cos it was the sight of "Marina" swimming fully clothed each week on "Stingray" that really did me in...
... and now...I am checking myself into the Funny Farm.
