    It’s a good thing Cliff Richard and The Shadows’ appearance was in this dream sequence only, otherwise it’d make no sense for any of them to be alive when Thunderbirds is set a CENTURY ahead of when the film came out and when the group were active.

      @@TheSmart-CasualGamer I can’t believe the ‘junior’ part went over my head! But yeah, they might as well have not even bothered if they wouldn’t do the same for The Shadows.
      Also, now that I think about it, look at how young Cliff Richard is here in the year 2066 - it looks like he’s meant to look the same age as he was in 1966; 25 turning 26 in October. That means that if he’s actually meant to be Cliff Richard Junior, his father would’ve had to conceive at nearly a hundred years old! All the more reason they shouldn’t have even bothered.

    That's Cliff Richard Jr there, but it's the _original_ Shadows. "Thunderbirds Are Go!" is set in the year 2066, so that means that Hank Marvin (green shirt, glasses, on guitar at front right at the start) is 125 years old. And they say Cliff Snr looks good for his age! PS Cliff Jr has friends, a line that always struck me as sinister. Friends in the Mob, probably. Cheat on Cliff's son at your peril, boys!

      I hate it when people try to rewrite history. For good or bad the song does show what people thought acceptable at that time. Here in Oklahoma is a perfect example. There was a brutal, brutal attack and mass murder in Tulsa Oklahoma it totally destroyed part of the city nicknamed Black Wallstreet multigenerational families wiped out. And do you called Oklahoma history called this event? The Tulsa Riots. It took until 2020 for Government and Historians to call it what it was the Tulsa Massacre. And the reason it took so long ? At first it was called a Riot so white insurance companies wouldn't have to pay black business owners and survivors. Later local government didn't want Tulsa seen in a "bad light" so it was swept under the rug. Just because history is uncomfortable sometimes. And history is everywhere. Even in a Thunderbirds movie. Keep the song in but use it to have honest conversation about how things have changed and how things like the Song are not considered normal but at that time were. You can change people's minds by talking about it not by ignoring it and editing out what is uncomfortable.
