I give 'em credit for one thing for sure! I think they worked hard on the sets of this show! They got exhaust smoke, all scuffed-up bodies, curb-skinned tires, dirt, faded lettering, and all the stuff the finest railroad models pride themselves in!
Danny62 - Apart from the wonderful machines, the thing that I really associate with Thunderbirds is Barry Grays fabulous (😉) orchestrated music! You don't get something of that quality in today's kid shows.
The music playing along with the scene always fits perfectly, another example is the track playing when you see the Crab logger in action, it just sounds big, dangerous and an accident waiting to happen.
Yes, for some reason this music calms me and stimulates me at the same time. I don't have to look at the video; only listening to it seems to make everything okay. Weird, huh? lol
But the stories are pretty solid. I prefer the original, but don't knock it just for CGi. Keep in mind that only the characters and vehicles are CGi, the backgrounds are all modelled.
Fully fueled AND manned, if memory serves. But an interesting variety of scales in the same shot. And all FX done "in-camera." You still need marvel at that.
The MSP and transport, even fully fueled, was within the weight limits for the bridge. They forgot to calculate in the weight of the police car escorts.
IM 58 and still watch the original thunderbirds when it’s on TV only thing about this episode which I’ve always wondered is when the transporter fell off the bridge what the hell happened to the drivers.
This was the stuff of Boy DREAMS. Obviously not reality. I refuse to give those innocent dreams up for the ugly cruel realities of adult life. It isn't like I don't think one should go to work and be purposeful; but the adults who go out of their way to suck every last ounce of joy and imagination out of life.....those adults can go to hell
As the transporter goes through the town, just after the closeup of MSP, in the background is a road bridge. On it were 2 Dinky toys vehicles I used to have, the Articulated truck with 2 trailers (silver with blue arrows on the side) and a BP fuel tanker ( the yellow and green vehicle 2 vehicles ahead. Wonder what they've have been worth if I'd kept them pristine and in their boxes?
DieyoungDiefast Ah come on, you were a kid at the time and there is no way in hell that you would have left them in their boxes. Toys are meant to be played with, that's what they are for, not sitting in their boxes gathering dust and being forgotten about.
Both the trucks you refer to are Matchbox: Major Packs. M1 BP autotanker, and M9 Hendrickson Interstate double freighter. Mint in the original boxes sell for a couple hundred dollars now.
Number 4 was the Crablogger. It was blocked due to a copyright claim on the background music (which was original Thunderbirds music). I've removed the audio completely, in the belief that silence is better than any non-Barry Gray UA-cam stock music, so hopefully it will be unblocked soon. I don't make money from these; I made them for fun and to provide a more convenient reference for modelmakers.
Thank you for the reply. The model making of that Gerry Anderson era was in a world of it's own and will never be replicated. So glad the new TB's still use models. Thank you for the videos.
Principal music at the very start of this & when the convoy is starting to cross the bridge was first used in the 'Stingray' episode 'Secret of the Giant Oyster' & called 'March of the Oysters'. BTW why didn't those Lincoln Continental police cars heading the transporter floor it when the bridge was starting to show signs of breaking up & to safety (at least for them)?
WOW! Excellent video! T-Birds dared to experiment and be innovative, somewhat akin to Steampunk. Congrats to you, Century22, and for your name choice - Century22 says it all. Keep up the GREAT work, and Cheers, Gary
I used to love this show as a kid! Kind of LOL now though. Who would transport a fully fueled rocket? And an empty rocket weighs almost nothing for something that size, so probably would have been fine crossing the bridge (consider the weight of a traffic jam of semi-trucks covering the same area as that transporter).
i worked for my friend who does construction, and we had something like this happen where I live. No there was no rocket. It was a huge tractor trailer pulling a heavy cement cylinder. He had to go over a mini bridge, that looked like this one in the video but it was smaller and it went over a large river. the truck was halfway over when the cables began to snap, then the entire bottom half of the bridge exploded and the truck fell in the river. I think there's footage my friend took, i'll try and find it
@@stu1701E The back of the truck fell in first and the cab was knocked on the water, but the driver only had a broken wrist, which we couldn't see until he got out. I'll try and find the footage. But to answer your question, no one was seriously hurt and no one died
2:44 Looks like two guys were inside the transport vehicle and wasn't automated. So what happened to them when the bridge collapsed and the transporter and rocket crashed into the sea? And also the two police cars that were escorting them? Did they escape in time before the bridge collapsed or were they rescued off screen?
🌐🌍🌎🌏3:34. The transport floating. It didn't sink. Those guys were safe. Perharps, the policemen are ded. I watched picture by picture, this scene on my DVD. And you can see on of the POLICE CAR fell down the river.....
I'd say their first mistake was choosing to use a bridge filled with explosives rather than conventional concrete, as evidenced by the fiery pyrotechnics detonating at random non load bearing locations. Other mistakes probably include transporting a fully fuelled and launch ready rocket, with the poor crew sitting inside the cockpit for the entire tedious journey. : )
The gruesome thing is, the police cars were never recovered!!! Nor the vehicles!!! All the attention was on the astronauts!!! Those men driving and also escorting this machine DIED and Thunderbirds didn't save them!!!
Don't these people in the future know how to calculate the weight a bridge can support and compare that to the weight of a truck carrying a rocket?!?! I hope whoever was driving that gimungous truck got out and swam to shore before it sank along with the rocket. But then I guess there'd be no emergency for the rescuers to deal with...
oh so old... when you think about it with all limitations of roads you realize that aircraft is so much batter to transport big light things like rockets.
I love how cold war - esqe this looks, because this was, of course, made during the cold war. The dirt and grime on everything is perfect/ What the hell happened to tv nowadays
@@Firemarioflower Well...hey....a little bit of eco-awareness is a good thing. No extremes in anything are good, considering enviromental impact (and protecting beautiful places for future generations) and being an anal-do-gooder are 2 different things
Classic case of a Thunderbirds stuff up, resulting in a frantic call to International Rescue. OK, so who was it who failed to do their sums right or who ignored the Structural Engineering Report that said the bridge was not capable of safely being crossed by this load? Was there corruption involved? Someone is going to have to pay Big Dollars to rebuild the bridge and compensate people for economic losses due to the bridge being out of action for the next five or more years.
This story always confuses me even as a five year old you just wouldnt move a rocket fully fueled like his and engineers would have calulated the weight for the bridge and inspected the bridge too
Want another confusion? The astronauts have NASA suits, and Lady Penelope goes with Brains on the site. The thing is, never would the NASA launch a rocket from the UK. I know FAB-1 is supposed to be able to fly and move on water, but the automatic countdown is set to go off in 12 hours, so that would barely give them time to arrive, let Brain argue with the controllers, call for Internationnal Rescue and finally have them do the rescue.
Always loved the old thunderbirds.. funny now I look at it as a adult I think what fool would transport a rocket on a heavy load transporter with the crew on board and fully fuelled and across a suspension bridge which was not checked for weight limits.. my word a person with a single brain cell that's who? LOL can't even count the laws broken by the transporting firm : P

A thousand times better than the new, so-called 'Thunderbirds Are Go'. Real models and practical effects all the way. Supermarionation FTW.
But the stories are pretty solid. I prefer the original, but don't knock it just for CGi. Keep in mind that only the characters and vehicles are CGi, the backgrounds are all modelled.
Agreed. It may be CGI, but it's much closer in spirit to the original than the 2004 film.
@@stu1701E Both suck. The original is just irreplaceable.
The new Thunderbirds is part model part Cgi but good look spotting it they did a fantastic job to blend it in.
I love the way that vehicles were dirty and had engines that poured out smoke. The TB world was full of them.
Same here.... nowadays though , dinosaur electric cars are the hype... puhfff.... meh....
They had great modellers, adding so much realism to, obviously, models

The MSP and transport, even fully fueled, was within the weight limits for the bridge.
They forgot to calculate in the weight of the police car escorts.
It was designed to take that weight in traffic and vehicles spread out across the entire span not the concentrated mass of one massive vehicle.
Police to blame.
just like Hillsborough and the Notting Hill riots.

It's funny looking at this rocket-that's supposed to go to Mars-and then comparing it to the massive Zero-X from the movie.
I think it was meant to be a final stage of sorts, for landing and return, it would be attached to a larger body
Yes, a rocket destined for Mars would have to be much larger than that.
Santaanacanyon
Also the rear trailer would have way more axles and tyres if that was a real load, even as an upper-stage ...
I think cause this one is unmanned
If it wasn't for subsidence in one form or another, International Rescue would have been sat at home twiddling their thumbs

What happened to the drivers?
Trident Animation Limited i think they are dead.
No, the transport floated so they would have been evacuated, my real question is how deep would that river be, 100 meters?
So everyone (maybe except the police car drivers) got out ok, while the rocket ship pilots were stuck inside.
I want to go there.
I told them they shouldn't have made that bridge out of Papier-mâché and the supporting cables out of mylar plastic...

Where's episode 4?
Episode 4 was the Crablogger. It appears to have been taken down by UA-cam (probably due to use of a certain Barry Gray music track).
Century22 Could you please edit and repost it?
At 22sec thats where Biro got his idea.
Let's be honest here. What they were expecting driving hundreds of tons of equipment over a suspension bridge held up by dangerously thin cabling?
One day... I want to recreate the model look with CGI
remember kids don't check bridge loads before you send a rocket transport across.
A 5mph convoy.

If you saw the episode, the bridge operater was a fool that believed in the strenght of the old bridge.
They did checks but he ignored them.

Martian Space Probe. The rocket transporter that took a dip into the river.
Fully fuelled. See, that's where they went wrong.
