The special effects magic of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's cult classic Thunderbirds played a massive part in the series' success and to celebrate 60 years of explosive SFX action, Century 21 Films presents the latest part of a new documentary series offering the most in depth behind the scenes look at the Thunderbirds' creation, production, and broadcast. Featuring archive rarities, rare film material, unseen interviews and more – the story of the effects genius of Derek Meddings and his team has never been experienced like this before.
In "Paths of Destruction" – the AP Films team look back on the innovative techniques employed to bring International Rescue's daring missions to life. From the graceful flight of Thunderbird 2 to the demolition of countless vehicles and from exploring the depths with Thunderbird 4 to the hazardous wreckage of the Empire State Building, this anniversary celebration shows how all of the elements initially came together.
'Thunderbirds Are 60: Paths of Destruction' features interviews with writers Derek Meddings, Mike Trim, Alan Shubrook, Shaun Whittacker-Cook, Brian Johnson, David Elliot, Des Saunders, and Mary Turner.

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.
