Whats' not to like? A feature length movie of the famous puppet series we all loved as kids. This one has the Thunderbirds team saving astronauts on a first manned mission to Mars. It has all the usual cute miniature sets and bobbly headed puppet characters we know and love. A significant additional highlight in this one is provided by a surreal dream sequence where one character fantasises about going on a date with Lady Penelope on a space station, where Cliff Richard and the Shadows are the star attraction. That whole scene is worth the price of admission alone. This little exotic gem wasn't shot in Hollywood or Cinecittà, it was made in Slough Trading Estate - proper British glamour.
