I’m on a mixture of a post-concert and a post-con slump and it’s very strange have some highlights of my trip:
- Meeting people who have lived in zoom boxes for 2 years in flesh space
- Visiting Birmingham Primark which is seriously immense
- Serious conversations about captain Magenta being unable to play the triangle
- Serious conversations about TOS Scott’s job being to sit there and look pretty
- Amazing cosplays (sadly not mine)
- Jon Culshaw
- Live podcast
- Gerry Anderson: A Life Uncharted (watch it with tissues and something to cuddle, you will need both)
- Mysteron theme with a full orchestra ❤
- Just how excited the Terrahawks composer got about conducting his theme with said orchestra
- TOS and TAG Virgil both being too drunk to stand at the aftershow party
- Snee lyf Centre!
- Gordy the Penguin
- Penguin pebble drama!
- Snee otters!
- Touching a starfish

I unfortunately didn’t get to see the concert because of money but watching the 1966 Thunderbirds Are Go movie in it’s original 35mm was amazing and unexpectedly meeting @inertplanetary@fallenfurther@misssquidtracyand@willow-salix before I went in was wonderful. ❤️
Extra Note: I may have spoken/seen more of you without realising inside the cinema I was the girl with the green International Rescue T-Shirt on
It was an amazing weekend and I’m so glad I went, even if I did have some intense blues on Saturday.
My highlights include:
- Meeting everyone is seen online. (It was so much less scary than I expected) it really was like meeting old friends and I felt so welcome
- Getting hugs from people
- Seeing the podcast live
- Managing to get a selfie with Richard James (It took three goes to pluck up the courage to ask but I’m so proud of myself for doing it.)
- Hearing all those soundtracks live. They were played so well and sounded fantastic.
- The orchestra’s cosplay!!
- Being able to just sit and chat with people afterwards in the pub.
- Being Scott Tracy for the day! I loved seeing people in Birmingham recognise it and smile. It also made it easier for people to recognise me from meeting up as there were so many faces to remember.
- Winding down the weekend with a lovely trip to Sealife
The whole weekend was made so much better because I’d been on the zoom with them (even if life has meant not so frequently recently). They all added so much to the enjoyment of my weekend.
