Hi! Sorry about that, I guess I should get my international customs information from a real source instead of the movies... Happy 2007, everyone! What's...
Hi Larry, What I'm going to do to make it a "Fireball year" here at Gooner Towers is very simply to watch all the episodes again and re-read all the brilliant...
Happy New Year everyone! Good luck with your jigsaw hunt Mrs Gooner. Pauline and I will be writing more stories and making more models based on Fireball XL5. ...
Hi there again, everybody, Good-o on the stories and models, Robin. That news has lifted my spirits already!! And yes I would love to chat about the...
Hi Mrs Gooner, I'd love to go through the TV21 Fireball XL5 stories here on the group. I know a lot of people won't have read them but this may whet their ...
At this point I would like to see something in the works this year for a live action movie. Also, to see one episode colorized. I know, I know, how dare I....
Thunderbirds movie was awful a very poor theme tune and a very poor representation of FAB1 which was produced by Ford because RR were 'too busy' the plot was...
I really hope there is no Fireball XL5 movie. All we'd get is an awful film and have to call the Fireball XL5 series 'Classic' or 'Original Series' as if were...
Howwwdy Don, A live-action Fireball? Gee, I wouldn't even go see the Thunderbirds movie. To me this is sacriledge! ; ) But now that I rethink it, it could be...
Hi Robin, That sounds like a great idea. Being in the States, I've never seen a TV21 annual. I think this is will be interesting for those like me, who have...
Hmm Robin, Now you've got me on the fence again about a Fireball movie. If done properly, it could be cool, but I share your fears. Also, I think they'd do a...
Howdy folks! I have yet to watch the dvd my friend gave to me. When I saw the trailers, it reminded me too much of Cody Banks meets Spy Kids. Bug ... ...
Hi Mrs. Gooner, I, too, haven't been watching my Fireball like a good little girl. :0 But I'll get Planet 46 in this weekend. Lots going on here, too! I hope...
Happy New Year Robin and All, I thought this weekend's assignment is Planet 46. Not sure if that's the same order in the A&E version as it is in the Carlton....
Hi Mrs Gooner, I don't like CGI films/tv shows, either. I think they are basically glorified cartoons. If you want people in a story, best thing is to use...
Hi Cheryl, Yes, Planet 46 is the first episode, so we'll start talking about that one this weekend. There were four Fireball XL5 annuals published in the...
Hi Cheryl, Regarding the annuals - I'm not aware of any sites where the complete annual stories can be viewed. But all four annuals can be obtained fairly...
I may be dating myself, but I always found the old radio mystery and adventure shows much better than their video counterparts. The imagination could provide...
Hi Folks, Our Fireball XL5 episode for discussion this week is the first one in the series: Planet 46 Directed by Gerry Anderson Story by Gerry and Sylvia...
Hi, I have only seen the 'Making of Thunderbirds' movie special and have heard the new soundtrack - and that was enough! If the movie comes to TV I MIGHT...
Some thoughts and notes on "Planet 46", from the viewpoint of a 26-year-old whippersnapper: -I really like the opening theme music. In fact, most of the...
Hi Rabid Kookaburra Thanks for all those interesting points on Planet 46. There's enough there to keep us talking for this week. I'll chip in with my views on...
Hi Mrs. G., I also hate CGI. It's ugly and I think it's popularity is due to all the kiddies now playing video games. I wouldn't want to see a CGI version of...
Exactly Robin, a character-based show. Now they'd just muck up the works with special effects. As Mrs. Gooner said, lots of bang, boom, wham. Just wouldn't be...
Robin, Wow, thanks! Now I'll HAVE to find one. Didn't know they were hardcover, and had puzzles and games included. BOSS!!! Thanks for the site. Now to check...
