OK, so I was taking a trip down Memory Lane on youtube earlier and I looked up good old Thunderbirds. I was reminded by how great this cartoon is a number of ways. Not least the idea that there is some world organisation for helping people out in disasterious situations!!
One of the more light hearted parts however, was the idea of the London Agent, Lady Penelope who 'fixes' what ever needs fixing in London. Her and the Butler Parker are an extremely entertaining double act.
I can't quite fit enough room for both of them in this article - so I will have to right a seperate one about him soon. For now, though, let's say Lady Penelope is highly amusing because, as perhaps only cartoons can do, she is able to mix so many stereotypes of the time and still be watchable.
Here is a screen shot of her infront of the Rolls with Cigarette holder. Could anything better sum up '60s cool?
