In part five of 'Thunderbirds Are 60' – "The Perils of Production" – we unravel the behind the scenes story of the series' transition from half hour to hour long episodes. With a transmission deadline looming, the AP Films team have a race against time to ensure they have finished episodes ready to broadcast. Join Sylvia Anderson (Co-Creator and voice of Lady Penelope), David Lane (Director), Keith Shackleton (Merchandising), Shaun Whittacker-Cook (Special Effects), and John and Jean Taylor (Sound Effects) as they share the backstage secrets of episodes like 'Pit of Peril', 'Sun Probe', 'The Perils of Penelope' and more from the beloved cult favourite.
Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's cult classic series Thunderbirds has turned 60! To celebrate, Century 21 Films has created a new multi-part documentary series which provides the most in depth behind the scenes look at the series' creation, production, and broadcast. Featuring archive rarities, rare film material, unheard interviews and more – the story of Thunderbirds has never been experienced like this before.

About Me:
Century 21 Films Ltd is a multi-faceted production company whose work spans drama to documentary, miniature effects to puppet shows. It was founded by a group of filmmakers who first collaborated on Filmed in Supermarionation, the story of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's hit puppet shows including Thunderbirds, Stingray and Captain Scarlet.
Since then, we have worked for a multitude of high-profile clients including ITV, BBC, Mammoth Productions, British Film Institute and the Halifax working on projects such Thunderbirds, Endeavour, Doctor Who and The Twilight Zone.
In addition to our regular filmmaking services, we specialise in ‘Supermarionation’ - the puppetry filming technique used to make shows like Thunderbirds and have collaborated with ITV repeatedly to provide specialised services. Our work has been featured on The One Show, This Morning, Good Morning Britain, BBC News, ITV News and Mastermind.
