Thunderbirds: The Complete Collection [DVD] [2015]

Product Information

Released on VHS by PolyGram and its subsidiary Channel 5 Video, each of these was made up of re-edited versions of two TV episodes. The Duchess and her one asset – the painting Portrait of a Gazelle, by Braquasso – fall into criminal hands and it is up to International Rescue to save both. Some appreciate a radical ‘alternate universe’ style take on the Thunderbirds format, while others see it as an abomination and their hatred for it is such that no amount of four-letter words can do it justice. With the ship precariously suspended above ground, International Rescue must use the Tiger Moth to rescue the passengers and crew. While Christmas preparations are underway at both Tracy Island and a local children's hospital, which is expanding to incorporate a new radiotherapy wing, a pair of criminals attempt to burgle a high-tech vault storing gold bullion.

Instead, the International Rescue of Thunderbirds 2086 was a far larger organisation which operated out of a vast city known as the Arcology, built upon a manmade island. In a world where any number of woeful sitcoms or no-budget cash-in movies can get a DVD release, then surely Thunderbirds 2086 also deserves a shot? We were particularly amused to discover that in addition to our English and Japanese Wikipedia pages ( https://en.Between 1965 and 1967, Century 21 Records released 19 Thunderbirds audio plays in the form of 7-inch, 33 RPM vinyl EP records (promoted as "mini-albums"), each about 21 minutes long.

When aircraft are shot down during live broadcasts of a hit song, International Rescue suspects foul play. Other animation changes were less drastic, and included the addition of more blinking lights on control consoles and occasional insert shots of computer screens displaying useful plot information. Two feature film sequels to the TV series were released in 1966 and 1968, followed by three made-for-TV compilation films in the early 1980s. The series, produced in association with copyright holders ITV, was based upon three audio-only adventures released on vinyl in the 1960s.Thunderbirds 2086 made greater use of science fiction concepts and space travel in general than the original Supermarionation series, although its vehicles were designed with more of a functional appearance than those seen there. In addition to our Thunderbirds related-work, we've also been very busy on Nebula-75 which has continued to grow since its launch a year ago on YouTube.

Re-released on Lady Penelope Investigates (Century 21 LP compilation, 1966, code LA 4) [15] [18] [16] and on CD by Fanderson (2006). The number of Thunderbirds machines in this new International Rescue was also increased from six to seventeen (with an eighteenth under construction in the episode Starcrusher), although several would never appear on screen.Products labelled '*item fulfilled by Exertis on behalf of hmv' will be supplied to you directly by Exertis via their approved couriers. Throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s, Thunderbirds fans would have occasionally found themselves faced with another television series also claiming to be an iteration of Thunderbirds.

Thunderbirds 2086 played in several international markets, including the UK, Spain, Malaysia, Italy, Portugal, Australia and Canada, but very few countries ran the entire series. On re-entering Earth's atmosphere, the crew encounter further problems when a lifting body (one of two remote controlled wings equipped with additional engines and undercarriage and used, one above the nose-end of the spacecraft and one under the engine cluster at the tail, for take-off and landing) suffers a mechanical fault and collides with the rear of the craft, damaging the escape unit circuit. Our task was to build sets, puppets, and models matching the originals and to marry them with those adapted voice recordings. This was a world where evil computers would claim to control “the horizontal and the vertical”, where a convicted man would yell “I am not a number, I am a free man! Every purchase will help to support Nebula-75’s future and go some way towards spreading the word about the show.It’s difficult to see what purpose this sequence actually served, beyond possibly padding out the episode for a thirty-minute broadcast slot, and certain episodes currently circulating online can be found both with and without this sequence – but most of them are without! Now - months and an unexpected international following later - we've made 7 episodes, 2 adverts and a spoof talk show. Since the end of April, we have completed three episodes of Nebula-75, and made two spoof adverts for 'Solar Smacks'. Although very much a product of the 1980s the roots of the series can be traced back in 1977, to that post- Space:1999 period where Gerry Anderson could no longer look forward to commissions from ITC (following Lew Grade reaching ITV’s mandatory retirement age and his decision to move into film production). We’re sure that our Kickstarter backers would agree that Supermarionation has never lost its appeal.
