The Good Old Days

Tin Tin came round to the mansion to spend time with me today. She was feeling very nostalgic for the days when Thunderbirds aired on BBC 2 and gained a cult following, especially when there was a Blue Peter craft in the shape of her home island, Tracy Island. We looked through her big red scrapbook and found photos of all the good times we shared when airing on BBC 2 with our friends, including all the times I spent with my friend Slomo and the time Captain Scarlet got drunk one Christmas, which made us laugh. We then watched archive tapes the BBC had lent to Tin Tin of all the days Thunderbirds was broadcast on the channel, including their landmark airing of Trapped In The Sky. Tin Tin shed a tear at the end and hugged me. Us sisters are always nostalgic for anything.

The Night Before Thunderbirds On BBC 2

'Twas the night before Thunderbirds on BBC 2,

It was an exciting night for me and for you

All Children's BBC stars were asleep in their beds

While dreams of the Tracy brothers danced through their heads


Tracy Island playsets were sold in stores with care

In the hopes Jeff Tracy and his sons would soon be there

But the next morning, as the sun rose in the sky

It would be a day for Lady Penelope and I


We drove off in Fab-1 to our favourite shopping place

I'm A Lady, full of fair love and grace

We shopped for hours until we hit the floor

And it wasn't until I found out my tummy was sore


So we went to the cafe to have some tea

No one else, just Penelope and me

We had a slice each of delicious chocolate cake

And alongside that, we had strawberry milkshake


After our trip we went to the meadow

To relax and feel all peaceful and mellow

We lay under a tree and fell fast asleep

But our Thunderbirds is a secret we'll keep


Meanwhile at the BBC, the Tracy Brothers were tired

The boss said, "Someday this decade, you'll be fired!"

The Night Before Thunderbirds On BBC 2

While everyone on Children's BBC sleeps with anticipation in waiting for the return of Thunderbirds in September 2000, on the day, Lady Penelope and I enjoy a special day of bonding together, from shopping to going to a cafe to taking a rest in Penelope's favourite childhood meadow.
