for us to have such

distinguished guests.

You can be assured that

the crew and myself...

will do everything

in our power...

to make this

a trip to remember.

Well, bon voyage.

Bon voyage!

Godspeed, milady.

OH, one minute to takeoff.

Now, we know the ship

is fully automated.

Everything is

preprogrammed...

height, speed, course.

We're all supposed to be

trained men.

The only way that our cover

will be broken...

will be if anything

goes wrong with the ship.

Takeoff now, 30 seconds.

Well, we're off.

Come in.

Dinner is served in the

bottle room, milady.

Well, they've gone.

May we have the blinds

drawn, Captain?

The entire operation

of this Skyship...

Lady Penelope, is

totally automatic.

As the light falls, the curtains

will draw automatically.

Of course.

That's just

the sort of thing...

Brains would have thought of.

Well, it looks as if

we're all set

for a lovely,

peaceful holiday.

Calling Black Phantom.

This is White Ghost.

Calling Black Phantom,

this is White Ghost.

Come in, Black Phantom.

Come in, Black Phantom.

Have disposed of cargo.

Operation Ambush underway.

Calling

International Rescue.

This is Lady Penelope.

Jeff, I want you to send

Thunderbird 1 and 2...

to a disused airfield...

10 miles south

of Casablanca.

International fix system

24-04. Reference E.

Ensure that Brains is aboard.

This is imperative.

Do not acknowledge

this transmission.

Will call later

with further details.

It's going

to be difficult.

That's what

we're paid for.

Now, I've had this

whole place bugged.

I want every word she

speaks on this trip...

to be recorded.

Whenever possible,

I'll talk to her myself...

and maneuver

the conversation...

in the right direction.

Right. Get to work.

OH, Carter,

breakfast is served.

Start recording.

Morning, Alan.

Morning, Penny.

Morning, Alan.

Breakfast over New York.

What an experience.

This is really

the way to travel.

Yeah, it's great.

Only thing is, as the

ship's fully automated...

if anything should go

wrong with the computer...

we could hit one of

these skyscrapers...

and then we'd really

be in trouble.

Then, Alan...

it would just be

a simple case of...

calling

International Rescue.

OH.

Calling International Rescue.

And now, gentlemen...

it is with pride that I

present to you Thunderbird 6.

Now, so that I'm able

to demonstrate...

this new machine properly...

I have built this

radio-controlled model.

The situation?

Man trapped in top floor

of burning skyscraper.

Thunderbird 6

drives up to the building.

The helium balloon

now rises...

lifting a plastic hose

into the air.

When the balloon reaches

the correct height...

Gerry Anderson

Gerry Anderson (born Gerald Alexander Abrahams; 14 April 1929 – 26 December 2012) was an English television and film producer, director, writer and occasional voice artist. He remains famous for his futuristic television programmes, especially his 1960s productions filmed with "Supermarionation" (marionette puppets containing electric moving parts). Anderson's first television production was the 1957 Roberta Leigh children's series The Adventures of Twizzle. Supercar (1961–62) and Fireball XL5 (1962) followed later, both series breaking into the US television market in the early 1960s. In the mid-1960s Anderson produced his most successful series, Thunderbirds. Other television productions of the 1960s include Stingray and Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. Anderson also wrote and produced several feature films whose box office performance was unexceptional. Following a shift towards live action productions in the 1970s, he had a long and successful association with media impresario Lew Grade and Grade's company ITC, continuing until the second series of Space: 1999. After a career lull when a number of new series concepts failed to get off the ground, his career began a new phase in the early 1980s when audience nostalgia for his earlier Supermarionation series (prompted by Saturday morning re-runs in Britain and Australia) led to new Anderson productions being commissioned. Later projects include a 2005 CGI remake of Captain Scarlet entitled Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet. more…
