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.
Thunderbirds?

Re: Thunderbirds?
My absolute favourite was "Fireball XL5".
I think it came between Stingray and Thunderbirds.

Re: Thunderbirds?
"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"

Re: Thunderbirds?
Thanks folks, so far. Stingray it is.

"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.

Re: Thunderbirds?
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' episodebungeejumper wrote: As a sixties teenager, I could never watch Thunderbirds without squirming with embarrassment.

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

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