Gerry Andersons cult sci-fi series Thunderbirds employed a unique form of puppetry, known as supermarionation, to tell the story of a family of heroes who travel through outer space on rescue missions.
Set somewhere in the 21st century, the show depicts the adventures of the Tracy family, which consists of millionaire former astronaut Jeff Tracy and his five sons: Scott (pilot of Thunderbird 1 and principal rescue co-ordinator), Virgil (pilot of Thunderbird 2), Alan (astronaut in Thunderbird 3), Gordon (aquanaut in Thunderbird 4) and John (principal duty astronaut on the space station Thunderbird 5). Together with Jeff's elderly mother called Grandma Tracy, the scientific genius and engineer "Brains", the family's manservant Kyrano and his daughter Tin-Tin, the Tracy family live on a remote, uncharted Pacific island (Tracy Island).
They are, in secret, the members of International Rescue, a private and highly-advanced emergency response organization, which covers the globe and even reaches into space, rescuing people with their futuristic vehicles, the Thunderbirds. Some of the disasters attended by International Rescue are often the result of accident or misadventure, but on occasion involve deliberate sabotage.
32 episodes of Thunderbirds were made between 1965 and 1966 for the British production company ITC Entertainment, and first broadcast on ATV, which you can now all enjoy with this fabulous box. Thunderbirds are go!

Niet alleen kijkt dit mooier, maar ook omdat deze serie geremastered is, lijkt deze serie als nieuw...WOW...!!!
Daarnaast blijft het een verbluffende serie die in 1964 met de mooiste technieken is gemaakt, en vooral voor de 50+ is dit pure jeugdsentiment, want wie is er in die jaren niet groot mee geworden...???
Een super aanrader want zelfs de box set is als een boek in elkaar gezet wat minder ruimte nodig heeft in de blu ray kast.
