What was that? A Thunderbirds episode? Not all of us here watched the puppet shows. Did they have a kid getting into wherever they have their base?
Yep: Thunderbird 2 is attending a Fire at a Mine in England, the Mine Controller (Widowed) put's his son, Chip, to bed then goes back to the mine.
Chip, excited by all the activity looks out of his window and sees that the Pod ramp is down and the craft unattended.
he stows away and is transported back to Tracy Island where he is discovered.
The Tracy boys, supposed to be guarding him, end up telling him (in flashback) of some of their adventures (End of the Road, Day of Disaster, Sunprobe and Trapped in the Sky.
Confronted with the security risk, Jeff hits on the idea of putting Chip to bed (he's been awake for nearly 24 hours so must be very tired), transferring his bed to TB2, then flying him home and putting him back in his own bed so when he wakes up he'll think the whole adventure has been a dream.
There's also the story 'Give of Take a Million' where a trip to Tracy Island is the prize in a draw for the children of a Childrens' Hospital
Or even 'Cry Wolf', where children playing at 'International Rescue' call out the real Thunderbirds, so Scott takes them back to show him the sort of trouble that a hoax call could cause. The story gets into the papers and the Hood realises that the boys' father is in possession of vital (and valuable) intelligence material.
You've missed a treat - Thunderbirds was a staple of my Sunday Lunchtime viewing back in the 70s
