Cut

And just like that, Lady Penelope cut Parker’s strings off. It can upset anyone who is familiar with Thunderbirds in the ‘90s, but DVLA horrifyingly abused Parker by letting him be aware that he’s a puppet and not a human. Inside, those puppets can act like they’re human, but it’s all about the worth and skill you need to discover your inner human nature - you don’t need to research early apes to discover human worth, all you need now is faith, trust and a little bit of belief to discover there’s a puppet inside your human body.

Fab-1 Breaks Down

Oh no! On one of our weekly drives into town, Fab-1 breaks down. I ne'er panic while Parker calls the garage. When the garage truck finally arrives, I am given a ride to the garage, the smell of petrol smoke and the sound of rock music filling the atmosphere. After waiting at the bus stop after Fab-1 is put into service, who should turn up but Lt. Brogan, Jack Haldane and best of all, Slomo, who offer to take us home in the Space Cruiser. Delighted, I chat with Slomo all the way home.

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!"

Summit

It was a foggy cold morning in November, and I was very excited. I was going on a mountain hiking trip with Lady Penelope and Parker! Unfortunately Parker wasn't coming because he had ‘better things to do’. Fab-1 pulled up outside a wonderful mountain range. The air smelled sweet and the sky was clear. Lady Penelope and I got out of the car with our bags full of essentials we’ll need for the mountain hike. “Wish us luck, Parker!” I called out “Good luck, me lovely ladies!” called out Parker, “And be sure to tell me all about it when you get back via the bus.” Lady Penelope knelt down towards me. “Do you think we'll encounter any danger when we're walking on the mountain range?” I asked. “Not exactly,” said Lady Penelope, “What I think our hike requires is this saying: we can conquer anything together.” “Riiiight.” I said.


So waving goodbye to Parker, we set off up the mountain path through the forest. On and on we went and at a few times I got scared by an eagle shrieking loudly as it returned to its nest and falling rocks tumbling down the mountain path, at one point Lady Penelope had to push me out of the way and then when an even bigger bolder fell down from the mountain path, Lady Penelope pushed me out of the way but I was sent hanging onto the edge of a cliff for dear life! “Lady Penelope, HELP!” I shrieked. “Don't worry darling, I'll help you up!” called Penelope as she held my hand tight. Lady Penelope pulled and pulled until I was finally back up onto the cliff at last.


However, all was not well when Lady Penelope had seen that I had twisted my ankle from  nearly falling over the rock ledge and I was weeping so bad. “Oh there there, darling, there there.” soothed Lady Penelope in a soft voice. “Don't worry. Your ankle will soon be better. Here, why don't you go on a ride on my shoulders?” “Yes please,” I smiled, wiping my tears.


So Lady Penelope plopped me onto her shoulders and carried me across the mountain path all the way to a huge cave on the edge of a cliff. Lady Penelope gathered some firewood from the back of the cave and made a fire by rubbing two sticks together. I sat there and watched as Lady Penelope made a lovely fire that glowed when the darkness fell upon the mountains. Lady Penelope put a warm blanket over me so I could be safe and comfortable. A little kettle was filled with water from the waterfall near the mountain and Lady Penelope laid out a feast of bread and cheese and sausage rolls and a lovely piece of chocolate cake. “I haven't had a meal like this in quite a while, Penelope.” I said as I gobbled down my second sausage roll. “Of course you do, darling, it's because you've had a twisted ankle and everything is hard for you, but you're with me now. Everything seems possible when you're with me.” “Everything seems possible when you're with me too,” I said.


Lady Penelope and I told each other stories about how animals got their name and how the Jackal got his paint colors and how Anansi the Spider ruined every single African tale there is until we felt tired and went to the back of the cave to sleep the sound of the stream rumbling in in the distance signified the end of our journey.


 But was it the end? Well…almost….

Sarah & Friends In Their FAB Flying Machines

When a flood destroys a little town in London, Lady Penelope, Parker and I set off in our flying car Fab-1 across snowy peaks, hot deserts and tropical jungles to find three marvellous jewels that'll restore the town...and they also need to find a real person to help them. But how?
