https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunde..._Go_(TV_series) I'm wondering, given the story outline, if they have delayed the UK tranmission of it due to the fire in Grenfell Tower earlier this year. Has there been any comment/announcement to that effect anywhere? Edit: Bit more digging around, see this (note contains various screenshots, inc the fire in the building): http://thunderbirds.wikia.com/wiki/Inferno FAB_61 Last edited by FAB_61; 26th November 2017 at 04:16 PM. |

It'll be interesting to see if the episode airs eventually, or whether it'll remain banned in the UK indefinitely.
Totally understand their reasons and being respectful to the Grenfell victims & their families has to take priority, but I'd be lying if I said the episode didn't look pretty great based on the screenshots. There's been a lack of practical fire in TAG and it seems a lot was used this time. It hasn't shown up on iTunes either, so maybe they'll wait for the DVD release? |

Once Series 2.2 finishes it's first transmission it would loose the ITV slot, so it may depend on whether ITV feel it appropriate to just put it into the repeat sequence on CITV somewhere at some point, or wait until Series 3 starts showing (which will be another year if there is the same sort of gap as last time). If all else fails I suspect it will be on the Australian DVDs. FAB_61 |

I was wondering about this earlier after reading about it on the TBirds wiki page. I've asked on the TBAG FB page but so far no reply. Totally understandable why it's not been shown on TV here in the UK. Hope its included on the DVD release because it looks like a fantastic episode we'd all enjoy.

Always seems a bit strange when broadcasters make these decisions. Millions of viewers miss out to save the feelings of a group of people who are extremely unlikely to be watching anyway. I wonder how long The Towering Inferno will be missing from the schedules Last edited by theinspector; 26th November 2017 at 09:10 PM. |

I think ITV (who clearly can't make up their minds about Thunderbirds at the best of times) will leave viewers to decide for themselves. - Especially since Season 2.2 is finishing around the Christmas period. - I'd rather loose one episode out of live tv, than loose the entire series because of complaints of insensitivity, or trauma and shock re-triggered in members of the audience. ![]()

The episode's out there, we'll be able to find it one way or another at some point down the line if we so choose, but it's better to not risk dragging the show into an unfortunate situation. |
