10 TV21 Strips That Would Make Great ‘Thunderbirds Are Go’ Episodes

March 28, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Fred McNamara with 10 TV21 strips that would make great ‘Thunderbirds Are Go’ episodes…

Amidst rumours that some episodes of the classic Thunderbirds series may be given a modern makeover for the upcoming remake, wouldn’t it be fun to examine which of the TV21 comic strips would suit a modernisation?

TV21 was the official comic spin-off for Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet and many other of Gerry Anderson’s sci-fi puppet shows. The reason for focusing on comics and not original episodes would be that Thunderbirds Are Go! is set to have a running time of 25 mins per episode, half of the original series’ episodes.

The original series had slow-burning feel to it, thanks to the lengthily duration of each episode. This new series promises to be shorter and snappier, which raises similarities between the new series and the TV21 strips. The strips themselves were often far more basic in terms of story-telling than the original series, yet their short length gave them a breakneck pace, which, by all accounts, matches what Thunderbirds Are Go! promises to be.

Let’s have a look then at ten TV21 strips that would lend themselves well to the canvas Thunderbirds Are Go! is being painted on. Click below to continue…
