Season: Whole show  1  2  All

All of series 2

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Throughout series 2, the five pictures of Jeff Tracy's sons on the wall at Tracy Island are completely different to the ones seen in the first series. But when Scott prepares to launch Thunderbird 1, you can see the picture of John is the one seen in series 1.

Atlantic Inferno

⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Thunderbird 4 comes out of the pod with the sealing device, there is a "4" on the back of the craft, but when it goes to clamp the device over the base of the fire jet, the "4" has disappeared.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Audio problem: When the Atom Sub Reefer Captain says "OK, Lieutenant, dive." it is said by Jeremy Wilkin instead of Ray Barrett.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: During the second rescue, Thunderbird 2 releases the pod containing Thunderbird 4 on the water. But when we see Thunderbird 2 next to the collapsing oil rig, the craft can be seen with the pod in it.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Sir Harry drives Lady Penelope down to FAB1 in his jeep, he is wearing a yellow helmet in the zoomed-out shot. When he is seen in close-up he is no longer wearing the helmet. Then, when the shot zooms out again, he is wearing the helmet.

Other: When Lady Penelope is counting her sheep, Parker had just told Jeff that she has 200,007 sheep. When we see her using the sheep-counter machine its display only has five digits instead of the necessary six.

Path of Destruction

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: In order to build up suspense, Virgil and Brains stand on the Crab Logger as its dangerous fuel is pumped out, despite the fact that it is hanging on the edge of a precipice. In fact they could have left as soon as they had plumbed in the pipes to empty the fuel tanks - the whole procedure is controlled by Scott in Thunderbird 1 and they make absolutely no contribution to the operation at all. They do not need to disconnect the pipes; they are left behind and dropped from Thunderbird 1 as planned. They just stand there chatting about how much danger they are in until jumping clear at the very last second. Silly buggers.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Parker pours Penelope a glass of sherry, the close-up shots of his human hand show he places the glass directly onto the table, but the wider shots of the puppets show the glass on Penelope's place mat with no time for it to have moved.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: When Penelope pulls the cord to ring the alarm for Parker, look on the right side of your screen and you can see part of a crew man's finger holding Penelope's arm.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: When we see a close-up of the saucepan containing the 'special' that Maria has prepared, you can see there is one only ladle in the pan, but in the next shot when Maria takes the pan off the stove, a spoon has suddenly appeared.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Plot hole: Crablogger designer Jim Lucas lives at 75 Sunnigale Road, Eppington Wood East, Somerset, according to the card that Penelope finds in the personnel files at Robotics International, but she reads it out to Parker as "20 Hazlemere Gardens, Iresham."

Edit

Ricochet

⇑
⇓

Audio problem: As John and Gordon are fitting the new component on Thunderbird 5, John says, "It looks like we'll be another two hours before we're back in business. In the meantime, International Rescue is non-operational." But he is voiced by David Graham, not Ray Barrett.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Revealing: Near the end of the episode, Thunderbird 2 lands and reverses into its hangar. During this bit, if you look carefully you can see white smoke near the boiler on the far side of the hangar, only this smoke is apparently being sucked into it. This is the usual footage of Thunderbird 2 exiting the hangar played in reverse.

Edit Time
⇑
⇓

Continuity: As Thunderbird 2 attempts to deflect the course of the KLA satellite, all the damage and charring that occurred to the satellite in the explosion earlier has disappeared, and even the attennae has been straightened.

Edit

Give or Take a Million

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: It is supposed to be the middle of the night when Virgil sets off in Thunderbird 2 for Coralville Hospital, but the Thunderbird 2 launch takes place in full daylight.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: At the beginning of the episode, we see the models of Thunderbirds 1, 3 and 4 on the table next to Nicky and you can see that Thunderbird 1's nosecone near the edge of the table. But when Nicky asks for Thunderbird 3 to be launched, we see a close up of the model, and Thunderbird 1 is now situated next to Thunderbird 4.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Character mistake: When Nicky asks Jeff for his wish at the start of the episode, Jeff tells Nicky that he must call him "Santa". But when Nicky says that the Thunderbird 3 launch was the greatest thrill of his life, he calls Jeff "Mr. Tracy".

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: When the security chief says to Preston outside the vault, "OK Preston, check it out," you can see that Preston has nothing in his right hand, but in the next scene a baton has suddenly appeared.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Factual error: Tin-Tin tears a page off a calendar which shows the date as 2026, but other calendars indicate that Christmas Day falls on a Sunday for this year. In fact, December 25th, 2026 will be a Friday.
