Thunderbirds: Edge of Impact
This does have a lot going for it. We're introduced to Tim Casey, an old friend of Jeff's, and we see what convolutions Jeff is willing to go through in order to keep IR secret (scuba diving for water mambas--whatever those are). We get to see the Tracy brothers covered in rain. But IR really does so little in this episode They discover the homing beacon, they get to the tower... and what do they do? Do they use the rescue platform to pull the two guys out of the tower? Do they try to shore it up? No, they bring out the Booster Mortar (which could be a very useful piece of equipment) and shoot rocket packs up to the guys!! The two men in the collapsing broadcast tower have to rescue themselves, with very little help from IR. It's more about stopping the sabotage (which doesn't really have any point) and reinstating Casey as a project director than a rescue. So... yeah. It's annoying.
