Brink of Disaster - S1-E22

Trivia: The disaster of this episode is caused by a lightning strike damaging the automatic signals of a monorail train, causing it to speed towards a collapsing bridge. In 2011, a similar incident occurred in Wenzhou, China, when a lightning strike caused the railway's signals to mark a section of track as safe, despite containing a stopped train. A second train then entered and collided with the stopped vehicle, and derailed from the elevated track onto the fields below.

Ricochet - S2-E5

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.
