Thunderbirds


Before "Captain Scarlet", there was "Thunderbirds". 


There's no arguments about it: "Thunderbirds" was - or rather IS - the most popular series created by Gerry Anderson - either in Supermarionation or live-action. With episodes of 1 hour long - a unique format for a Supermarionation series - brilliant colours, fantastic plots, and interesting characters, the 1965 series knew then and still knows a worldwide success that never diminished with time.


"Thunderbirds" follows the adventures of International Rescue, a secret organisation performing rescues all over the world, using hi-tech vehicles and craft - the "Thunderbirds". International Rescue is based on Tracy Island, home of the Tracy family which composed the organisation: Patriarch Jeff, a billionnaire, who leads the organisation, and his five sons, Scott, Virgil, Gordon, Alan, pilots of the magnificent Thunderbirds craft, and John, manning space station Thunderbirds 5. International Rescue can also count on the help of Lady Penelope, the lovely secret agent from London and of her chauffeur/butler Parker.


Even as they struggle to save people during their rescue missions, International Rescue must also thwart the efforts of the evil Hood, who wished to learn the secrets of the Thunderbirds technologies.
