Thunderbirds - Set 5 Reviews

For some reason there are only 5 episodes on these discs instead of 6 like on all the previous ones. There are also no additional bonus features to fill the extra space, actually, there are less extras than on the other discs. Only a still photo gallery. No featurettes like on all the other sets. Just unused space.

Seems a little lite compared to the other volumes, especially considering its basicly the same price.

The last volume, #6, is even lighter, with 3 episodes on disc 1, and on disc 2, no episodes, just a collection of rerun clips hosted by Brains, and a 'Making Of' short that was already on a previous disc in the series.

And of course, its still the same price, but for half the content.

Quality wise, the episodes are great, remastered video and audio are done very well. A&E has done a swell job on the whole series, and Thunderbirds fans should check these sets out.

In th future, I hope A&E searches around a bit more, and obtain enough bonus materials before they release of Captian Scarlet Full Series Box Set!

No half filled discs please, these things aint cheap!! :)

Thunderbirds, with more storyline
Another wonderful outing with International Rescue!

I notice that these episodes often feature more depth and variety in the storyline, which adds to their repeat-watching appeal. You really get the feeling that the writers were getting into their stride with the series and broadening it to a spy/rescue show (using ever-cool Lady Penelope).

And, for those who are already fans, I'm pleased to report that A&E have finally used the correct theme music on the DVD menu (not the inaccurate version from 'No Strings Attached').
