We were only joking when we said we were expecting an episode to prominently feature Grandma Tracy. So imagine our shock and disbelief when we read our press notes for ‘Unplugged’ and found the eccentric housekeeper atop the cast list! Will she too, like Kayo, get her own Thunderbird? Joking aside though, it’s refreshing to … >
In previous weeks, we’ve observed how Thunderbirds Are Go is at its best when offering something new in terms of plot. So, along comes ‘Fireflash’, a remake of the classic series’ inaugural episode ‘Trapped in the Sky’. Not a straight-up verbatim remake, but a remake nonetheless, ‘Fireflash’ has all the key ingredients of the original … >
Thunderbirds just won’t be Thunderbirds if it’s in the 20-minute format. 50 minutes or nothing! Those words, uttered by a foolish, untrusting and faithless writer who shall remain nameless for the sake of his own safety and wellbeing, couldn’t be further from the truth, if this week’s instalment of Thunderbirds Are Go is anything to … >
Good morning. Rubbed that sleep out of those poor, tired eyes yet? How was the early rise for you this fine Saturday AM? We certainly hope it was worth it for you, now that Thunderbirds Are Go has been (unwisely) moved to the adult-unfriendly hour of 8am. Shame on you, ITV! We need our lay-ins … >
If you find yourself struggling for breath after watching the first episode of Thunderbirds Are Go, ITV’s new take on Gerry Anderson’s seminal TV masterpiece, then it’s understandable.

Thunderbirds are back! And are Go! More go than ever before in fact, because International Rescue’s return (and this is a return, not a reboot) starts off at a breakneck pace that doesn’t stop until you hit the credits. > Order Volume 1 on DVD on Amazon.

Stephen Dillane has revealed that he is uncertain if a second series of Sky Atlantic’s The Tunnel will be made.
The Tunnel, the British-French remake of Danish-Swedish thriller The Bridge, airs this autumn on Sky Atlantic.
About halfway into Episode 9 of The Tunnel our reviewing notes on the episode just stopped. No, we hadn’t hit our drinking-grade Boîte de Vin earlier than usual and passed out.

It’s Episode 8 of this ten-part cross-country endurance murderthon and finally we can start to see the light at the end of The Tunnel. It’s about time. We’ve been stumbling around in the dark for what feels like ages.
