Trivia:
In the episode "The Mighty Atom", the teletype printout gives the date on which the atomic cloud is blown away from Melbourne as 6 October and it is then stated that the explosion at the plant took place the previous Monday. If this is 2064, the explosion therefore occurred on 29 September. It is also stated in this episode that International Rescue were not operating when the Australian plant exploded in 2064. moreGoofs:
Plot holes: There are some episodes in which civilian personnel who are being assisted by International Rescue refer to the Tracy brothers by name. How would they know their names? IR is a secret organization and it's highly unlikely they would give out their names. moreQuotes:

This is one of the most innovative shows to ever come out of Britain. I really loved the idea of marionettes being the main characters and all the cool ships (Thunderbird 2 will always be my favorite). The only flaw I could see with the show is that you never actually saw the puppets move, as in walking. They were either sitting down or standing still. Too bad that the Sci-Fi Channel isn't showing this wonderful series. Not all of us have Tech T.V..
