International rescue got involved in all types of situations. The puppetry was amazing in this series and the adventures were great.

The Hood was the evil villain who attempted to steal their secrets but always failed.

And they also received help from Lady Penelope and Parker as well. Throughout the series the Tracy boys were aided by Brains who always came up with a solution to problems they encountered. The head of International Rescue was Jeff Tracey. Thunderbird 4 was a submarine and Thunderbird 5 was a space station. Thunderbird 2 was a huge plane which could carry all types of equipment. Thunderbird 1 was a reconnaissance craft.

The show was set around the Tracy Brothers who were behind International Rescue. Thunderbirds was longer than most other Gerry Anderson shows which allowed for better stories and better character development. Thunderbirds is one of those shows which is enjoyable for so many reasons-the storylines, the action, the characters, the adventures. Thunderbirds was a top Gerry Anderson show right up there with Captain Scarlet and Stingray.
