Broadcast
"Attack of the Alligators!" achieved ratings of 4.78 million viewers for its 1992 BBC2 broadcast. The BBC subsequently re-screened Thunderbirds episodes in 2001, a year known for several major rail accidents in the United Kingdom (most notably the Selby rail crash; others occurred in Tisbury and Hither Green). It was decided to delay the transmission of the episodes "The Perils of Penelope" and "Brink of Disaster" (both of which feature disaster situations involving trains) until the end of the broadcast schedule. "Attack of the Alligators" substituted for "Brink of Disaster", making it the 11th episode to be repeated on BBC Two.
