Behind the Scenes of the Creation of Thunderbirds and its BIG SCREEN Transfer – Excitement Is GO!

Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Thunderbirds represented a high point in the careers of the team they had assembled to produce Supermarionation favourites like Supercar, Fireball, and Stingray. When it came time to take characters like Lady Penelope, Parker, and the Tracy family to the big screen everything had to be bigger and better – resulting in a lavish and epic production still fondly remembered to this day. In this behind the scenes documentary, Gerry Anderson (Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, UFO, Space: 1999) discusses the creation of Thunderbirds and the development of his unique puppetry and special effects techniques before going on to remember the excitement of bringing his co-creation to cinema screens and the ultimate disappointment that greeted the film upon its release.
