There were three episodes of the original Thunderbirds that were recorded on vinyl discs in the 1965. This project is all about bringing theses episodes to life using the same techniques as the original series.
The making of these episodes has the blessings of everyone involved in the original series and will be made by the team who produced the excellent TV documentary Filmed in Supermarionation last year all about Thunderbirds. I am already a backer of Firestorm that is being produced by Gerry and Sylvia’s son Jamie who highlighted this project.
This is my sixth Kickstarter project and my fifth that is UK based. Here is their video about the episodes:
This project was successfully funded on August 9th 2015 with a total pledge of £218,412 against a target of £195,000. This should be enough to fund the three episodes.
