What no Terrahawks option?
However, it has to be Captain Scarlet, with his Carry Grant imitation voice. There was a ruthless episode when the Mysterons were exterminating whole US Arctic military bases one by one - mind blowing stuff. Meanwhile no one in Thunderbirds got more than a bandage for 5 minutes.

Have you ever tried being tied to a suspension bridge in searing hot sunshine with a bomb underneath you.
Never saw Scarlet doing that did you.
Alan is a bloody hero in my book.
Tin tin was frantic.

This is an OUTRAGE.

How can you have a poll like this without The Secret Service? ? ?

I must apologise for that oversight.
Incidentally I've just discovered that the voice of Father Unwin was provided by the real Stanley Unwin.

Thunderbirds for me but none of them as good as U.F.O. or Space 1999.
Trivia: The Tracy brothers were named after Mercury Seven astronauts: Scott Carpenter, John Glenn, Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Gordon Cooper and Alan Shepard.

Thunderbirds is, comfortably, the Champion of this list. A brilliant TV show from start to finish with only a couple of missed steps (Ricochet episode...). Obviously, the female characters couldn't be written today as they are in the show - it's a very clear example of the shift in attitudes.

I was TB mad in '66

Got a photo of me somewhere dressed in a full TB outfit on my 6th birthday.

I so, so wanted to be Scott, a rocket pilot who ALWAYS got there FIRST - top geezer!
