I recently supported a Kickstarter to recreate Thunderbirds episodes, and today had the chance to visit the crew at work (and even to get involved a little!) – we headed to the Slough Trading Estate to see them; given fabulous access, we watched them filming scenes for the first of three new episodes that will be created:
Later in the day, I was given the privilege of triggering a pyrotechnic effect set up by Malcolm Smith of Supreme Fireworks:
I also had the chance to operate a puppet – it’s even possible that my “performance” might be in the first new episode!
A wonderful day!

I had no idea having never seen or followed the how. How long has it been running. How did you get in to see this?
Robert, the original Thunderbirds is reaching 50 years anniversary just about this week!
To “get in” I gave a very generous Kickstarter support.
