Yeah it's sort of an antiquated notion. That worked well in the 60s when we were right in the middle of cold-war spy games, but today it's hard to keep a secret from anyone. I spent some time during the development process exploring ways to keep Tracy Island "top secret" but no matter how you cut it, it just made things way too complected. So we're pretty much doing away with all of the extreme secrecy. Honestly I don't think the show suffers at all for it.

Growing up in the USA, Thunderbirds didn't have as much cultural impact as it did in the UK and elsewhere, but I do remember seeing it as a kid on reruns late at night. I thought it was cool and weird and fascinating. I didn't have the opportunity to watch very many, but those I did I really stuck with me. When I was approached to help develop it into a new series, I knew it would be a once in a lifetime opportunity. I haven't been proven wrong on that.

I love anything Matt and Trey do.

I was hoping I'd get that question in my AMA! One Thunderbird 2 sized Alan. Easier to hide from.

If you watch very closely, you'll be pleased.
