In this compilation of moments from "Introducing Thunderbirds", Jeff Tracy gives Penelope and Parker a front row seat to the launches of Thunderbird 1, Thunderbird 2, and Thunderbird 3.
In "Introducing Thunderbirds", Lady Penelope and Parker visit Jeff on Tracy Island as part of their induction into the International Rescue organisation. 'Thunderbirds: The Anniversary Episodes' was produced to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's iconic Supermarionation television series – and made use of all the original puppeteering and practical effects techniques to bring the show back to life, with the help of authentic 1960s voice recordings.
Now available on ITV X in the UK and on DVD and Blu-Ray in Japan.

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.

"Not now Alan, I'm showing Penelope Thunderbird 1"
I love Parker's and Penelope's reactions to the Thunderbirds.
I would have loved to have seen TB1 & TB2 working with Spectrum, TB3 & TB5 working with Fireball XL5 (and maybe even a Galasphere!), and of course TB4 working with Stingray. What a movie that would have been! 🚀
