Nosey Parker is Go! is a tribute video made by the Australian artist Jeff Smart. It was released to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Thunderbirds. Notably, the sketch features Charles Tingwell returning to voice hotel waiter Bruno from Lord Parker's 'Oliday, alongside narration from Gary Files.
For the show's 60th anniversary, the video was remastered into HD, alongside new dialogue from David Graham as Parker. The HD remaster was included as a bonus feature on Anderson Entertainment's 2026 Thunderbirds Collector's Edition Blu-ray.
Plot[]
The International Rescue team are away on holiday for a few days, leaving Parker to look after the place. Suddenly, the phone rings. It's Bruno, and he needs help: the Hotel Monte Bianco is on fire. Parker explains the IR team are away, but when Bruno misunderstands him and hangs up, he decides to take off in Thunderbird 2 and attempt a rescue single-handedly.
Voice Cast[]
Parker
- Charles Tingwell reprised his role of Bruno, the hotel waiter from the episode Lord Parker's 'Oliday
- The lengthy intro features a voiceover by Gary Files
- Parker was voiced by an uncredited voice-actor (probably Jeff Smart himself).
- For the 2025 edition, Parker's dialogue is instead by David Graham, similarly reprising his role. As likely this recording was made before Graham's passing in 2024.
