Good to see you join up.... even if you don't know what you've joined up to!!I'm following this Smiffy, just to find out what you are all going on about. I like Jakko am completely in the dark on this apparently short lived TV show. I will admit to seeing some builds on the forum of some rocket ships 1 through 5? and some references made to thunderbirds but never made the connection for some reason. I think I do remember the six wheeled pink RR......didn't Corgi make a diecast replica of that vehicle? It all sounds interesting and has certainly elevated the blood pressure of this ordinarily mundane group of mostly senior citizens! :tongue-out3: :tongue-out2: :smiling3::tears-of-joy::thumb2:
Shame you can't view those videos, it's such an iconic series I'm surprised that you can't find it anywhere over your side. :sad:
Very succinct and to the point there Andrew. :smiling3:
..... Oh,and welcome aboard!

Jakko and Rick, try this. Doesn’t seem to be ITV so might work…..just the launch sequences I’m afraid…..if you’ve ever seen curse of the Were Rabbit you now know where they stole a few of the ideas.
All models, no CGI remember …..Comment

Just watched the launch sequence........Nope, not seen these on the TV, BUT....we did have something similar called Fireball 500 if memory serves. I can see the attraction to the mind of a seven yr. old, if you didn't grow up with it however, one would find it a little lacking given the present state of technology in this sort of thing. I shall now revert back to my former grumpy old self and sit back and watch the kids go at it. :smiling3: :thumb2:
