Sun Probe is an episode most people think of when it comes to Thunderbirds. It may take its time to set the scene, and the Rocket launch at the beginning is dragged out, but when it gets going it becomes hugely entertaining.
This is the best of the Thunderbird 3 rescues, and it's efforts to rescue the crew are the usual tense moments. I like how the puppets are seen sweating in the heat, it makes the situation more realistic. What makes it even more dramatic, and something that may not have worked, is when the Spaceship runs into difficultly itself, making Virgil and Brains save their own team. This has always worked well in the series, and is used to great effect here.
A great episode and one of the standouts of the series.
