[edit] Synopsis
After Alan wins a car race, he and Grandma Tracy are kidnapped and trapped on bridge by his jealous rivals Victor Gomez and Johnny Gillespie. If they move, the bomb under the bridge will explode. If they do not move, they will succumb to heat and thirst.
Meanwhile, Thunderbirds 1 and 2 are on their way, but will Alan manage to avoid the heat without moving?

[edit] Goofs
- When Alan first calls Jeff on Tracy Island, his father is sitting behind his desk, but after another quick shot of Alan, Jeff is sitting on the desk reading a magazine.
- When Alan makes a telecall to Grandma, the letters in the close-up shot of the dial panel are on the left and numbers are on the right, but on the puppet-sized model the letters and numbers have switched sides.
- Alan's live-action hand is much hairier and with darker hair than would be expected on a young blond man.
[edit] Notes
- "Move - and You're Dead" features the first and only appearances of the BR2 Racing Car, Neutraliser Tractor and Grandma Tracy's home.
- Because Grandma leaves her home to live on Tracy Island during this episode, it would seem that the events of "Move - and You're Dead" predate those of all the other episodes that she appears in (including "Sun Probe", "The Uninvited", "The Mighty Atom", "Vault of Death" and "Operation Crash-Dive").
