Were you ever a fan of Thunderbirds, if so which was the coolest ship & who was the best character?

Thunderbirds are go!! The Gerry Anderson classic kitsch cheese-o-rama of yesteryear. I would watch it on occasion but by no means would call myself a fan. Was it even popular around the world? Enjoyable hokum for a kid but that’s about as far as it got. How about you though, were you ever a fan or simply a casual follower? Just for fun however i’d like to know your fave moments-episodes-characters or craft. For the record i’d have Thunderbird 2 & “Brains” was way the coolest dude around.
