Give or Take a Million - S2-E6

Trivia: This is the only episode in which International Rescue does not save anyone from life-threatening danger, and the only episode where Lady Penelope is featured without her chauffeur Parker.

Give or Take a Million - S2-E6

Trivia: At the beginning of the episode, when Jeff and Nicky are relaxing at Tracy Island, you can see models of Thunderbirds 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the table. These models were commercially available at the time of the episode's initial broadcast and were produced by J. Rosenthal (Toys) Ltd. Thunderbird 5 is not on the table as Rosenthal's model did not look like the genuine article.

Give or Take a Million - S2-E6

Trivia: Despite the large number of characters, Matt Zimmerman's voice is only heard once in the entire episode, when Alan says "F.A.B." during the Thunderbird 3 launch sequence.

Path of Destruction - S2-E2

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.
