Thanks Gerry.

I'm a huge Fan from the very first episode I saw.

I spent much time over the last 12 months recording & copying TV shows onto DVD for my library. (I don't like much of todays TV) can't watch it.

What commitment from a huge talent, Gerry & the Anderson family.

Much appreciated Gerry..... ThunderBirds are Go!

Yes...I'm another fan, having the complete Thunderbirds collection on DVD as well as the complete Stingray, Fireball XL5, Joe 90, Captain Scarlett and Supercar DVD sets. It's nice to be able to step back into your childhood every now and then. Thanks Gerry!

Yes, I too used to wish I was a Spaceman :)

I can remember when I was 4 being given an XL-5 rocket toy. Bit lame by today it had a parachute you would fold up and it would fit inside. You threw it as high as you could and it would come sailing back down. Hours of fun. :)

In another salute to Gerry

A combination of a few of my favourite things; so again I say Mr Anderson, " thankyou very much ...uh huh !! "

Thunderbird 2 was my favourite.

I find sniffing people really annoying. Blow your noses morons.

If I'm sitting near a sniffer on the train, I move. Accordingly if I was sitting near Parker on a train, I'd move.

And I certainly wouldn't trust him with managing my money:

Disgusting habit. I have noticed more women are doing it where I once thought it was a failing of just men. From working and travelling in Asia its a very common behaviour.

But RIP Gerry Andersen for the great show. Having peoples photos where their eyes light up was ahead of its time.

And I thought the Late Show did a wonderful parody of the thunderbirds too. First saw them do it in their student days. Brilliant.

Scary character the Hood.....made Kojak look like a [censored].

Best impersonation I can remember was by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore on "Not Only But Also" - pure genius.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

      • Thanks

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
