Could it be that this was not an intentional product placement and they used the watch as an added drama element? Hammond is seen wearing a Navitimer in one of the studio shots. Perhaps he likes Breitling and using the Emergency was his idea?
Or Breitling simply did not pay enough.


That's what it looked like to me. I'm not sure that Breitling would have wanted a lot of publicity around the episode, because - although obviously the watch did its job and alerted Thunderbird 5 before the goons took over the rescue for comedic purposes - the larger impression was of a man stuck up a mountain for days on end, so in PR terms it didn't really have a positive vibe!

I thought it was a very positive vibe, the watch worked perfectly which is all you can ask of it and showed is not a gimmic and is much better than relying on mates to help you! The only slight 'negativity' was the discussion at the start about the image, due to people buying them who never venture anywhere more secluded than the golf course.

MattC I didn't notice those shots unless the BBC used different shots for UK and US.

No they were there (in UK), Matt's just magnified them somewhat.

Sorry about that, I was inches away from my big screen, bigger than it originally looked.

So now that Jeremy Clarkson has gone through this ordeal they have cut the season short, a few more episodes were supposed to air will not and they start the end of season special tonight. Or last night for you UK blokes. Pretty upsetting to say the least.
