Thunderbirds?

Where does the useful saying "Anything can happen in the next 24 hours!" derive from please?

We think it,s from a 60s tv programme.

Half hour? That's Stingray

Stingray was introduced with 'Anything can happen in the next 30 minutes':

Standby for action!

My absolute favourite was "Fireball XL5".

I think it came between Stingray and Thunderbirds.

Funnily enough this came up in the pub on Friday
- I thought that Stingray was the first one... because I never watched Supercar

"Anything can happen in the next 24 hours" rings a bell with me too. I reckon it was probably an American cop series - something like Dragnet, perhaps?

As a sixties teenager, I could never watch Thunderbirds without squirming with embarrassment. It was so clunky and awful - like the Eurovision Song Contest, if you know what i mean. No coincidence, then, that they've both become classics. "So bad that they're good." Hey, maybe we should start a new thread with that title?

In the meantime, though, let's pay appropriate homage to Pete and Dud's Superthunderstingcar. One of their best ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riMHp28_cqw

Oh no, this is TURRABLE"

Thanks folks, so far. Stingray it is.

Stand by for action!
"Anything can happen in the next half hour!"

The relevance is that we have rellies coming from Oz arriving Friday for a week(!)

Since we all at sixes and sevens and don,t know if we are Arthur or Martha regarding the virus, the saying seemed apt.

A week is a long time during the virus buildup.

I'm about 10 years behind you and as a pre-8 year old in the sixties, I found Thunderbirds to be the most exciting thing I had ever seen. I'll never forget the tension I felt when watching the 'sidewinder' episode

I saw it again a few years ago and admittedly, it wasn't the same

Agree with redmires. Don't diss Thunderbirds! What's coming out of TB2's pod? TB4 or the Mole or ...?
