...who used one of my favorite lines:

"The word "fear" is not in my vocabulary..." (!!!)

The word “Pain” must definitely have been in his vocabulary though 🤣

Surprising he could say much at all except ""Ahhhhhhhggghhhh".
Just looked up his injury record.
His 84 completed jumps earned him 433 broken bones. That averages out to a little more than 5 broken bones per jump.

Bloody hell 😳

Makes you wonder whether anyone would insure him or not 🤣

And whether everyone who knew him had shares in companies making splints and plaster of Paris.

And then wait 6 months for him to be able to get out of the box again.

Obviously personal choice but... Let's just say after a couple of Port & Lemons everybody's Destiny was clear and it wasn't angelic.

Well, sure, if you're going to include humans as well as pieces of plastic.

You might want to rephrase that as well.

Pete and Dud did Superthunderstingcar in which John had gone mad on Thunderbird 5 after long term isolation and was talking to a hat stand, and Alan Tracy was gay.

Can’t argue with you there 😍

When he tried to jump over the busses? Another attempt which resulted in hospitalisation. He might as well have loaded himself into a trebuchet.

Do you remember Evil O'Kneivel the Irish stunt rider? Tried to jump 13 motorbikes in a London bus. He might have made it too if someone hadn't rung the bell as he took off.

I wonder if there were any girls who had a sneaky crush on Troy Tempest or Joe 90, just a thought. I used to feel a bit strange when Colonel White appeared, but I went to a Catholic school so that probably explains it.

Do any of you remember Gerry Anderson's early productions?
Twizzle, Four Feather Falls and the decidedly film noire Torchy the Battery Boy?
