THUNDERBIRDS UNSEEN: The Making Of "Vault of Death" (2024 Documentary)

Explore the Unseen Thunderbirds in the latest part of our behind the scenes journey through the creation of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's timeless television series. This time, we take an in-depth look at the making of one of Penelope and Parker's finest hours, "Vault of Death". With the help of newly treasures from the archives, we uncover the challenges faced when this half hour episode had to be expanded to twice the length.

Thunderbirds was a massive success upon its debut in 1965 and this documentary programme investigates contributions made by scriptwriters, directors, special effects technicians, composer Barry Gray, and more.
To help us along the way, we will be drawing on not just interviews with the cast and crew, but from surviving material ranging from surviving scripts and musical scores, to original 35mm film rushes material digitised for the first time in 4k!

Explore this classic Supermarionation show like never before...
