Thunderbirds

In the future, Jeff Tracy, a billionaire and former astronaut, took his five sons to an uncharted island called Tracy Island and set up International Rescue, a secret organization who assists people who need help anywhere in the world. They are known by the name of their incredible machines: Thunderbirds. The youngest son, Alan, is stuck behind all the time and wishes he could go on a mission with his family. But when the Thunderbirds' nemesis, The Hood, deploys them on a fake mission and takes over Tracy Island, it is up to Alan to save his family with the help of his friends, Fermat and Tintin, and prove himself a true Thunderbird.

Factual error: As the Hood approaches central London in Thunderbird 2, they fly through Tower Bridge and over HMS Belfast, approaching from the East. However the onboard display in Thunderbird 1 shows TB2 approaching from the West, somewhere over Hammersmith.

Question: Is any of the back story concerning the hood and Tintin's father from the tv series itself and does Tintin ever develop telepathic abilities in the tv series as in the movie?

Answer: The backstory in the TV series is that Kyrano (Tintin's father) and the Hood are half brothers, giving the Hood the ability to control Kyrano by hyponosis, by staring at a statue of him in his jungle palace. And no, in the TV series Tintin never develops telepathic abilities.
