    Thunderbirds is a British science fiction television series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Set in the 2060s, it follows the adventures of International Rescue, a secret organisation with technologically advanced land, sea, air and space rescue craft. The characters were played by puppets.

    1. How tall were the Thunderbirds puppets of the Tracy brothers?

    2. The puppets had interchangeable heads, so different expressions could be shown. As well as a head with a neutral expression, how many other heads did the main puppets have?

    3. The appearances of the main characters were inspired by real-life actors. On which actor was Scott Tracy (the pilot of Thunderbird 1) based?
