Produced by Phil Moakes and presented by Phil Moakes and Maggie Gregory, original broadcast 29/2/16.
Last year, film maker Stephen La Rivierre launched a Kickstarter project to make a new episode of Thunderbirds, using the original cast voices, recreating the iconic puppets and models.
On January 4th 2016, all of the new episodes were screened at the ICA in London – the first new Thunderbirds episodes made in Supermarionation in 50 years.
In this programme Phil Moakes and Maggie Gregory go behind the scenes and meet the crew, producers and fans to find out how Thunderbirds 1965 came about and how it was made. The show also includes exclusive pre-release clips from the new episodes
Our thanks to producers – Stephen La Rivierre, Andrew T Smith and Justin T Lee, to sound editor Mark Ayres and Pyrotechnician Malcolm Smith for their contributions and help
