The 1960's to me was an exciting time to be growing up in. We had lots of great pop groups providing us with great sing along records, all sorts of strange fashions were coming out and television companies were producing lots of good stuff to watch. I always loved 'family' type programmes. Then a new show came out produced by Gerry Anderson. I could just remember some of his earlier shows but didn't watch them regularly. This new one was different though, it was about a family and I was hooked.

Watching those Tracy boys going off to save the world in their Thunderbirds was fascinating enough but it wasn't until watching the episode of 'Move and You're Dead' that my imagination began working. Being in love with Alan at the time I was worried about him on that bridge. When it was over I thought to myself, supposing it had ended differently. I remember from then on making my own stories up in my head and I wish I'd written them down now. Time went by and work schedules and travelling did not give me time to take part in the '90s revival. It was only when my dog took ill in 2003 and I was sitting up with him at night I put the television on and Boomerang were showing Thunderbirds at 12 midnight every night. How those memories flowed back, but this time I could watch in glorious colour and record each episode to re-watch at my leisure.

I began to write to about them but I got hungry for more Thunderbirds facts and searched the internet. I found books about them and I thought I was alone in my little Thunderbirds world and never dreamed that I was sharing the Tracys with so many people. I found stories about them that kept me entertained and inspired me to try and write more of my own. Now I feel part of something special, that only a true Thunderbirds fan can feel.
