Thunderbirds & Captain Scarlet: A Review

 

Captain Scarlet and Thunderbirds Annual by Anonymous
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Such soft, gentle reading.
The comics were an easy read, but I am afraid the long pieces of text were not. I had to stop just after the Thunderbirds 'Mind Machine' strip because it made me go all dreamy. My true favourite bits were the funny cartoons, which included a racist reference that would not be acceptable today - the joke involved Space aliens, and it should spark outrage if it were published today.

You Won't Be Seeing That Again...

This cinema promo for 'Sarah & Friends: Full Of Fun' starts out just like this trailer, but then suddenly, Parker appears and says: "You won't be seeing that again. What you will be seeing instead is this...."

It then shows my toddler self safe and snug in bed, as Parker looks on in an adored way. He then picks me up in his arms and cuddles me gently and softly. Lady Penelope then appears and whispers, "Ssssshhhhhh..." at us before the title of the comic collection appears.
