Latest Thunderbirds Deep Dive is GO! Love to pop the hood on a hugely formative episode for me (first TB episode I ever saw) and investigate how the episode's transformation from 30 to 50 minutes gave us such a delightful insight into I.R.'s family set-up.

Here's a picture of Mary Habberfield, who, as the sound editor for Ealing Studios, was responsible for the famous 'Guggle Glub Gurgle' sound effect from 'The Man in the White Suit'.
It only took five years to find a photo of her. 🤷♂️

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

This is a hell of a thing. A terrifyingly low level attack on a power station near Paris in 1943 by Free French crew flying RAF Bostons (the British A-20 Havoc bomber variant). The A-20 was not the most agile aircraft ever, so this kind of flying under radar is a real feat.
