NP Thunderbirds are go

[Dave Monroe]

Okay, somebody explain this one to me.  In the
feature-length, theatrically-released Thunderbirds are
Go! (1966), there's that mission to Mars that spends
seemingly the first hour-and-a-half of a 93-minute
film getting ready to launch, then launching, only to
get to the red planet and be frightened running back
to the ship and immediately back home by the first
Martian they see.  Does this have anything to do with
the fact that the mission consists of a Space Captain,
a Space Pilot, and so forth, but only a (non-Space,
'cos they never say "Space") Doctor?  You get what you
pay for, apparently.  Anyway, there's also a dream
sequence featuring a super-marionated Cliff Richards
and The Shadows, and everything gets blown up at the
end.  My dream movie.  And then there's that
wingwalking sequence in Thunderbird 6 ...

In the meantime, I'm in desperate need of the vocal
version of the Captain Scarlet theme by The Spectrum. 
Even the 80s rerelease would be acceptible ...
