Film sequels and adaptations
Feature films
Two Thunderbirds feature films were released in the 1960s alongside the TV episodes.[4]
Title | Directed by | Written by | Release Date[4] | Plot |
---|---|---|---|---|
Thunderbirds Are Go | David Lane | Gerry and Sylvia Anderson | 15 December 1966 | The spacecraft Zero-X is bound for Mars, carrying a crew of five astronauts. But when the craft experiences a critical mechanical fault shortly after take-off, the crew are forced to eject to safety while the multi-million dollar spacecraft crashes into the ocean. Two years later, an investigation committee releases the official report on the crash, concluding that the cause of the crash was sabotage. While the mission is put on hold, the committee decides that extra security measures would be required for a re-launch. After some debate, they decide to call on the services of International Rescue. The Thunderbirds machines, with the help of London Agent, Lady Penelope, make sure that the second launching attempt is successful. Once the craft lands on Mars, the crew start to explore the planet and collect rock samples, but when they encounter unexpected problems, they are forced to return to Earth sooner than planned. On re-entering Earth's atmosphere, the crew encounter further problems when a lifting body (remote controlled landing support) suffers a mechanical fault and collides with the rear of the craft, damaging the escape unit circuit. With the crew unable to escape, it is again up to International Rescue to save the astronauts, as well as a town in the Zero-X flightpath, from disaster. |
Thunderbird 6 | David Lane | Gerry and Sylvia Anderson | 29 July 1968 | Jeff Tracy wants Brains to design a new Thunderbird vehicle, a project of such complexity that he is forced to decline his place on the maiden round-the-world flight of his jet-assisted airship, Skyship One. Lady Penelope, Alan, Tin-Tin and Parker are invited, and fly a rebuilt, vintage Tiger Moth biplane before boarding the airship. The International Rescue representatives set off on a luxury world tour, unaware that they are entrusting their safety to assassins who have murdered the real crew of Skyship One, are working for a master criminal identified as "Black Phantom", and are covertly recording and editing Penelope's conversations to assemble a false distress call summoning International Rescue to an abandoned airbase in the north African desert. With the ship inbound to England, the assassins have finally secured enough tape to send the message, but the four passengers have figured out the plan and warn Jeff Tracy in time to avert the hi-jacking of Thunderbirds 1 and 2. On Skyship One, the assassins are attacked, but in the ensuing gunfight manage to capture Tin-Tin as hostage. The ship's gravity drive is also damaged, and Skyship One crashes into the top of the central relay tower of a missile base near Dover. With the ship precariously suspended above ground, International Rescue must use the Tiger Moth to rescue the passengers and crew. The rescue attempt is disrupted when the assassins hi-jack the Tiger, just before Skyship One finally crashes to the ground. |

Between 1980 and 1982, three compilation films were produced – for which a number of the original episodes were re-edited and truncated – and released on home VHS by PolyGram and subsidiary Channel 5 Video.[4]

Audio episodes
Century 21 Records, a Century 21 subsidiary established in September 1965, released 19 Thunderbirds audio dramas in the form of 7-inch, 33 RPM, vinyl EP "mini-albums" between 1965 and 1967.[6][7] Sixteen are adapted from original TV episode soundtracks,[8] cut to a running time of 21 minutes and including additional narration from a member of the original voice cast performing in character;[9] the other three are new adventures.[6]
Voice actors Peter Dyneley, David Graham and Sylvia Anderson featured in all three original dramas, Ray Barrett in two and Shane Rimmer in one.[10][11] Two records – F.A.B. and The Stately Homes Robberies – are narrated from the point of view of Lady Penelope and Parker, and feature original songs composed by Barry Gray.[12] In 1990, BBC Radio 5 transmitted eight of the adaptations, in a revised form, as a radio drama mini-series.[9]
In 2015, to celebrate the series' 50th anniversary, Filmed in Supermarionation documentary director Stephen La Rivière launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise the necessary funds to produce new, full Thunderbirds half-hour episodes based on the three original mini-albums, Introducing Thunderbirds, F.A.B. (retitled The Abominable Snowman), and The Stately Homes Robberies.[13]
