I do not remember these adverts from the 1960s but I do remember getting Thunderbird models from cereal packets and watching Thunderbirds on a Saturday morning with my Grandfather. (For those of you who do not know what Thunderbirds was back in the 1960s, there is a primer video at the end of this article. For those of you who do not know what 6d is – have a look at this.)
I also remember the ice lollies – although without any research – I am sure Zoom and Fab are still available today, but not Thunderbirds branded.
And a Thunderbirds advert from 2017
This advert was made more than 50 years after the final episode of the original Thunderbirds series aired.
Thunderbirds on DVD
Having written this “Because It’s Friday” I think I will dust off the Thunderbirds DVDs this weekend and watch a few of the episodes with Jeremy.
Have a good weekend.
