1. Trapped in the Sky
- When the Doctor arrives on the Island, Jeff activates operation-cover-up. Yet in scenes
featuring Jeff, Scott and Gordon, the portraits on the wall clearly show the boys in their International Rescue uniforms.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Pit of Peril
Although
the Sidewinder falls upside down in the pit, it makes no sense for the crew and control room to be standing the right way
up when we see the control room.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.
City of Fire
Although Thompson Tower is situated in America, we see a sign on the wall saying 'centre' as opposed
to the American 'center'.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.
Sun Probe
When Thunderbird 2 leaves it's hangar, it takes Pod 3 as Pod 2 is visible to the right. However, on arriving
at Mount Arkan, the pod has become Pod 6. This error happens again in Vault of Death, Move – and You're Dead, Martian
Invasion, Day of Disaster.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. The Uninvited
When
Scott returns from picking up John, where is John, as he does not appear with Scott when returning to the Tracy Island lounge?
It makes no sense for the logo in the Zombites' control room to be a reversed image of the logo on their helmets.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.
The Mighty Atom
Although supposedly set in 2065, we see a newspaper dated 24th December 1964. This also happens in
Edge of Impact, The Impostors, Cry Wolf and Edge of Impact, The Impostors, Cry Wolf and Path of Destruction. Coincidentally,
24th December 1964 was a Thursday, which was the day Thunderbirds was first shown in 1965/6. The Mighty Atom is only supposed
to take photos of human faces yet we see it taking photos of the machinery in the Saharan Plant when no one is in the room.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Vault of Death
When
Lovegrove first realizes Lambert is trapped in the vault, he is talking to Carter, whose voice is initially that of Shane
Rimmer but has suddenly changed to David Graham.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.
Move - And You're Dead
When Alan first contacts the island, Jeff is sitting behind his desk. However, when we cut
away back to Jeff (seconds later) he is perched on the front of his desk reading a magazine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11.
Brink of Disaster
Just as the villain's car goes out of control in the opening sequence, a huge lump of greenery falls
out of the skyline in the background.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13.
Terror in New York City
As mentioned in the notes, Godber can be seen at the Ned Cook Show at the front of the audience,
but when the camera pans along the Tracy family, who are seated at the back of the audience, Godber has relocated himself
to just in front of Jeff. When Thunderbird Four is buffeted to the ground at the end of the story, drops of water can
be seen running down the outside of the tank. Thunderbird 4's engine makes a very deep buzzing sound, rather than the
normal high-picthed hum, in this episode. As Ned and the cameraman swim into Thunderbird 4, you can see the edge of model
used to represent Thunderbird 4's cockpit roof. Look to the far right and you can see that the side pod things start, then
stop when they should go all the way back.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15.
Day of Disaster
Thunderbird 4's engine makes a very deep buzzing sound, rather than the normal high-picthed hum, in
this episode.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16. Edge
of Impact
Although Tim Casey is a Colonel, Scott refers to him as ‘the General' in one scene. At the TV
relay tower rescue, Virgil is seen wearing his raincoat in close-up shots. However, when Alan drives out the Booster Mortar,
we see Virgil not wearing his raincoat in background shots.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19.
The Imposters
At the end of the episode when Elliott tells Scott and Alan it's great that International Rescue have
been cleared, Scott replies "You can say that again" without moving his lips!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23.
The Duchess Assignment
Partway through the second half, Dandridge's transmission to Penelope is cut off, but there
is no explanation why.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24.
Attack of the Alligators
At the beginning of the episode when Mrs Files watches Blackmer's arrival through the house
window, the cameraman and his camera are reflected in the glass. Thunderbird 4 usually comes out of pod 4 but for some
reason it comes out of pod 6 in this episode. Scott couldn't have expected to stop a giant alligator with that small gun.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Season 2 27. Atlantic
Inferno
Lady Penelope's 5-digit sheep counting meter is useless to her. She is trying to count her 200,007 sheep and
would need 6 digits. Virgil looks completely different from this episode onwards but no one seems to notice.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
31.
Ricochet
When we see Gordon and John fixing Thunderbird 5, John is heard speaking with Gordon's voice!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
32.
Give or Take a Million
It is supposed to be the middle of the night when Virgil leaves for Coralville Hospital yet
the Thunderbird 2 launch takes place in the day. Following what is said in notes, Christmas Day in 2067 will be a Sunday.
However, Tin-Tin tears a page off a calendar dated 2026 but Christmas Day will be a Friday in 2026. The 2026/2065 debate has
continued for many years.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feature
Movie Thunderbird 6
Its a good thing that International Rescue is so suspicous of everyone as otherwise they wouldn't
have taken guns on holiday.
