He’s very relaxed, but he’s also very passionate – he genuinely loves his job, and genuinely loves being on his own! I don’t think he’s particularly jealous of the other guys who get to be the cavaliers and go on missions– he’s quite happy being up in the space station.

In early March Fanderson was invited to ITV’s offices in Gray’s Inn Road, London to interview the voice cast of Thunderbirds Are Go. In the first of three full-length interviews, we grill the men behind the voices of the Tracy brothers:

Thunderbird 5 – A Space Station. Where the Thunderbirds would monitor on the world and report emergency situations form. As a foreigner I was told by my agent that I’d been put up for this and not to mess it up! So I did a lot of research, and eventually ended up playing Virgil and Gordon. I heard that supposedly a lot of people loved Virgil in the original series – especially women! I realised that he was the ‘caretaker’ of the group, and is the one that makes sure that everyone’s ok. Then I found out that Gordon is this guy who thinks he’s maybe a bit cooler than he actually is, and gets to head off underwater. Virgil and Gordon are actually together a lot because Thunderbird 2 takes Thunderbird 4 all around the world on missions (I don’t think I’m giving anything away there?!). So the two work together quite well, and that informed how I played both characters. All of the following vehicles , with the exclusion of Thunderbird 4 come with sounds. Thunderbird 1 also comes with folding wings, Thunderbird 2 comes with landing legs, drop down module and folding wings, Thunderbird 3 also comes with grasping arms, Thunderbird 5 also comes with a auto- retracing space elevator, Thunderbird Shadow also comes with a drop down- mini Shadow Bike, Fab 1 comes with spinning wheels and retractable wings, and The Shadow Bike also comes with moving wheels and a sliding spoiler.

In 1992 there was a shortage of Tracy Island toys in the run up to Christmas due to BBC2 showing old episodes of the show. This was a huge manufacturing error that the children’s show Blue Peter jumped on. Blue Peter produced a segment on their show which demonstrated how you could build your own Tracy Island, which went down extremely well with an overwhelming amount of people requesting the instruction sheets.

It’s always been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. I had pictures of me in the full uniform, saluting! It’s always been something I’ve dreamt about doing and I never thought it could possibly happen. When I found out I got incredibly excited and just became a little kid again. It’s just great to go into the studio and be like a kid, having fun, messing around being a Tracy brother. It’s a dream – it’s just great. The show followed Jeff Tracy and his five sons; Scott, John, Virgil, Gordon and Alan who all lived on their own private island, Tracy Island. With Jeff’s previous profession being an astronaut, they formed a ‘International Rescue’ service which was dedicated to rescuing and saving the lives of humans. Each son had a vehicle which would aid them in their missions which were called ‘Thunderbirds’. Thunderbird 3 has a little interactivity, with a set of pop-out grappling arms (that don’t really do very much beyond popping out). Thunderbird 2 has fold out wings, pop-out stilts, and a drop down pod containing Thunderbird 4. If there’s a man and a cult TV series made indestructible, it’s the one we love for protecting the Earth from interplanetary wars and the Mysterons. Gerry Anderson model products have captivated audiences for decades, just like Captain Scarlet’s legendary team and space rescue missions. Whatever your favorite part of their extraterrestrial adventures is, you can recreate it today with an extensive range of themed memorabilia offered by Fab Gear. I’ve done stuff that’s really, really cool, and in the end you just never know how it’s going to be with the audience. I really hope that people love this series as much as I have, because I’ve fallen in love with Thunderbirds.

My daughter thought they were ok, and played with them a little bit. But one thing was missing – she had never seen Thunderbirds. I showed her a couple of episodes of the new version, with plots featuring these vehicles, and after that she was re-enacting scenes of rescue she had just witnessed, and was far more engaged with them. It’s multi-generational TV, and that’s pretty much the only thing that brings the entire family together. Doctor Who is very much written to be multi-generational. It’s something that grandma can watch down to the smallest kids with a pillow in front of their faces, but I really do think that – and this is something that has been pushed on me – this is not a show necessarily for the adults, this is a show designed to introduce a new generation to a wonderful brand and show. shopify embed_type=”collection” shop=”gerry-anderson-official.myshopify.com” product_handle=”thunderbirds”] Finally, it was revealed that ITVS GE will be partnering with Minclip to develop and distribute a free-to-play Thunderbirds Are Go mobile game for iOS and Android platform early next year.

But what’s your favourite peice of merchandise you’ve ever bought? Perhaps it was the Dinky Thunderbird 2? The Vivid Imaginations Tracy Island? Or did you have to make a Blue Peter one? With thousands of toys and collectibles made over 6 decades, we’d love to hear about your favourite. They’ve made the ripples much more realistic. I don’t how they do it – they must put a pulse through it People always want something different so long as it’s the same! That’s the case with everybody. If you were to say that the original Thunderbirds never existed, and this was the first incarnation, we’d hope that people would love it just as much even without the knowledge that there is this lineage. It doffs the hat to everything that’s happened in the past – lots of easter eggs – really well thought out easter eggs. But as the times have changed, so have these characters. We have the original – that exists and isn’t going anywhere – so let’s take the blueprint of that and drive it forward and make it more futuristic. But there’s definitely hints to the old stuff! The Physics of Thunderbirds – Theo De Klerk casts a scientific eye over the technological wonders of Thunderbird 3 Teamwork, co-operation, family, it’s all about how – in this world as well as in Thunderbirds – you can’t always do everything by yourself. It shows the importance of co-operation, and that it’s very important to ask for help. It’s important to give help, it’s important to be kind, and it’s important to sometimes realise that you don’t always ‘win’ by winning the end game. It’s actually about looking at the bigger picture and it’s teaching people that it’s not just about having a ‘final victory’ because there’s someone called the Hood involved in this, and he might have an endgame that is different to the Tracys. It’s very much about working together.

Overall, I don’t think these are great toys in their own right, but for fans of the show they will provide ample opportunity for imaginative play. These Thunderbirds are Go toys are recommended for young fans, and only for the right price. Yes, so all the models are hand-built at Weta Studios. While we were recording they went over to New Zealand and they saw the building of it – so even then it was in its infancy. It’s phenomenal – the water is real water. If you didn’t already know, there are five Thunderbirds in total, all specialising in different areas across land and sea. These were all available in toy format and every child in the 60’s and 70’s had their favourite.

When we first started recording we came in and we were almost told that we were set up to fail. There’s such a love for this show, and Giles Ridge – who’s pretty much running the ship – said that we have a lot against us, and so we’ve decided to actually run with the feeling that we are hopefully going to break through that. And you can see it from the beautiful drip feeding (the teaser campaigns) that are coming from ITV. And the reaction will change in one week from ‘This is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen!’ to ‘This is the worst thing I’ve ever come across – what have you done to my childhood!’ the next week. The iconic sixties puppet show has been rebooted as a CGI series on ITV. Remaining fairly faithful to the look and spirit of the original, the famed vehicles remain largely recognisable in their modern form. I wanted to watch them. All of my copies are recorded on VHS – my Dad recorded them because he wanted to introduce me to Thunderbirds, and of course now they don’t work, they’re all chewed up, they vibrate, jump around – I don’ think my VHS player even works any more! So I didn’t get to see the whole season again.
