Thunderbirds are Go - ish

Over the weekend I thought I’d show a young guest the joys of the Thunderbirds TV show. They were suitably impressed (or very polite). However, I wasn’t able to show the higher quality version with the better sound and pictures, even though I remember watching this just after I bought the TV series from Apple TV a few years ago. All that Apple TV serves up now is the original 4:3 version with the mono soundtrack.

I’ve had this before with digital media. An album that I bought will lose tracks, or they will change into different versions. Or a service will vanish leaving me with nothing for the money I spent with them. Such is modern life I suppose. In the meantime I’ve spent thirty quid on a Blu-Ray version of the show. Come the digital apocalypse at least I’ll still be able to watch the adventures of Scott and Virgil and the rest of International Rescue.
