IMDb profile

Aloysius "Nosey" Parker is a fictional character in the television series Thunderbirds, the feature films Thunderbirds Are GO and Thunderbird 6 and the 2004 live action film Thunderbirds.

The puppet was voiced by David Graham in the television series and the first two feature films, whilst Ron Cook took the role for the live action film.

Parker is employed by Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward as her butler in Creighton-Ward Mansion and as her chauffeur driving a modified pink Rolls-Royce called FAB1. Both Lady Penelope and Parker are International Rescue agents.

He is a reformed criminal, having spent time in prison for being a cat burglar and safecracker. His criminal activities coupled with his prominent facial features earnt him the nickname "Nosey". He was rescued from a life of crime by Lady Penelope who employed him to aid her in her espionage activities. Parker's underworld contacts frequently come in useful during the pair's missions such as in "The Cham Cham" when he blackmailed a talent agent to get Lady Penelope booked for a nightclub appearance for an investigation. Parker is from London and speaks with a strong cockney accent.

Virgin Trains' Thunderbird locomotive 57311 is named Parker.

When appearing as a guest on the Nemone show on BBC 6Music, 18th December 2007 Sylvia Anderson cast doubt that the character's name was ever "Aloysius". She said he was "only ever 'Nosey' Parker".
