If you're a fan of Scalextric and Thunderbirds, this is the competition for you!

Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s Thunderbirds was set in the 21st century, but 60 years ago it seemed wildly futuristic, as the top-secret International Rescue organisation with its fleet of hi-tech, super-fast vehicles freed people from extreme danger. This popular and imaginative puppet TV series and its films are remembered with huge affection by anyone who grew up in the 60s.
Radio Times is delighted to have spoken to puppeteer Mary Turner, who helped to create Lady Penelope. She tells us: “Sylvia was very fussy about Lady P. She wanted a sophisticated lady; I modelled what I thought would be best, and I’d take it to her and she’d want a bit done here and there. Eventually, we were both happy with it, so it was modelled up and made in fibreglass, as they all were. Sylvia got a wig made at a proper wigmaker’s, we put the wig on and we both looked at it and decided that it was definitely starting to look like Sylvia herself!”
And now Scalextric is releasing the first vehicle from the series as a Slot Car. The new C4479 Thunderbirds FAB-1, to be released in December, is a replica of the familiar pink Rolls-Royce, complete with figures of trusty chauffeur Parker and Lady Penelope in the back. The car even has working lights!
