The stuff I like starts at 7 minuets in.

Great video John, thanks for posting.

 

I loved this as a kid and so did Kelly (*Altaira), she has some vintage toys from the series.

 

So when are you going to make the characters...you can hang them from your ceiling!

Thanks for sharing John.

Makes me proud to be British.

The video says it all.

The not quite real but real enough to keep the viewer fascinated.

Call me old fashioned but I would have puppetry, animatronics and old style cartoons over cgi anyday. Hey but that's progress.

Gerry Anderson was unique. Nothing like this was ever done on TV. 

His amazing miniature sets were the CGI back then.

I loved his family values, even Grandma had a part in the Thunderbirds organization.

Mr. Anderson respected people in general it seems. While being of British origin, his shows were as patriotic as they come.

The puppets being 1/3 scale was cool to see. and then they show the inside of the heads and how they used soleniod's to control the mouth movement. Well it was all very cool to see and learn about.
