At their panel at SDCC, the producers of the upcoming Thunderbirds Are Go reboot revealed the teams home, Tracy Island. It was always a fun part of the show to watch the swimming pool retract and the palm tree tilted out of the way to launch one of the ships.
Bleeding Cool reports that the show is coming up on its 50th anniversary. Executive Producer Giles Ridge said, “It‘s great to have the chance to give fans a sneak peak at the home of Thunderbirds. Tracy Island was a much loved feature of the original show, so it felt right that we showcase our new-look location with the show’s followers.”
The series will be a combination of live-action sets and CGI. We’re excited too at the news that former Bond Girl Rosamund Pike will be the voice of Lady Penelope and David Graham, the original Parker will be returning to reprise the role.
Thunderbirds Are Go! hits screens early in 2015

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
