Thunderbirds Are Go Cast

Deep in the Amazon Rainforest, Doctor Steven Furnier’s search for the rare Creeping Banana Spider goes wrong when one of the deadly creatures bites him. As the toxin spreads through his body Furnier drops the vital antidote before he can inject himself; he radios the staff at Rio hospital, who despatch a drone with more anti-venom - but the drone becomes tangles in vines, and crashes onto a high tree-branch. On Tracy Island, Scott distracts himself from micro-managing the Mechanic and Brains’ work on the T-Drive by joining Virgil and Kayo on their rescue mission to the Amazon. Lady Penelope and Parker pay a visit to Professor Moffat to obtain fuel for the T-Drive; but when ‘Moffie’ opens the sealed vault, they discover that someone has stolen the Centurium-21; faced with a ‘locked-room’ mystery, it is up to Parker to use his experience to uncover the perpetrator on Moffie’s team… Arriving in the Amazon, Scott and Kayo take a Dragonfly to search for the drone, while Virgil gets Doctor Furnier into Thunderbird 2’s medical bay. The Dragonfly proves too heavy for the tree branch, which gives way, sending the craft crashing to the ground; Scott and Kayo climb the tree, but just as they reach the drone the branch breaks, plummeting them into the river below. Carried along by the harsh current, Scott and Kayo soon find themselves hanging over the edge of a very high waterfall…
