- Thunderbirds_(TV_series) abstract "Thunderbirds is a 1960s British science-fiction television series, created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, made by their production company AP Films, and distributed by ITC Entertainment. Filmed between 1964 and 1966, it was produced using marionette puppetry interwoven with scale-model special effects sequences, in the form of a mixed technique dubbed "Supermarionation". Two series, totalling thirty-two 50-minute episodes, were filmed; production was cancelled after the Andersons' financial backer, Lew Grade, failed in his bid to sell the programme to American network television.Succeeding the previous Supermarionation productions Four Feather Falls, Supercar, Fireball XL5 and Stingray, Thunderbirds is set in 2065. It follows the exploits of International Rescue, a secret organisation established to save people who are in mortal danger with the aid of technologically advanced land-, sea-, air- and space-rescue vehicles and equipment, headed by the Thunderbird fleet and launched from a hidden island base in the South Pacific Ocean. The main characters are ex-astronaut Jeff Tracy (the founder of IR) and his five adult sons, who pilot the Thunderbird machines.Thunderbirds premièred in the UK on ATV's franchises in 1965, and has since been broadcast in more than 30 other countries. Periodically repeated since its original 1965–66 broadcast by the BBC and on other channels, the series was adapted for radio in the early 1990s, and has influenced numerous other TV programmes (including a Japanese re-make), films and other media. It has entailed various merchandising campaigns, and has been followed by three feature-length films and a mimed stage adaptation.Widely considered the most commercially successful and most popular series to have been created by the Andersons or produced by AP Films, Thunderbirds has received particular praise for its effects (supervised by Derek Meddings) and score (composed by Barry Gray). The affirmative radio code used by the main characters, "F.A.B.", has been defined in the Collins English Dictionary. A new re-make, Thunderbirds Are Go!, will be broadcast in 2015 on CITV, 50 years after the original.".

- Thunderbirds_(TV_series) quote "All our planning was geared towards a second series of Thunderbirds and that it would continue for a long time ... [The cancellation] came as a serious blow to the organisation. I was shattered. At the time, we had two studios, a weekly comic, a record company and a whole merchandising operation. We had just opened an office in Hong Kong and ordered a million pounds' worth of machine tools, all based on the success of Thunderbirds – and the series was cancelled ... We couldn't get an American sale with Thunderbirds, so it was cancelled and we had to do something new.".
- Thunderbirds_(TV_series) quote "I started to think that there really ought to be dumps around the world with rescue gear standing by, so that when a disaster happened, all these items of rescue equipment could be rushed to the disaster zone and used to help to get people out of trouble ... I was thinking, 'Rescue, yes, rescue, but how to make it science fiction? What about an international rescue organisation? They'll need to fly to the danger zone and they'll have to have a transporter to bring the heavy equipment up. But villains will be after their equipment, so they'll have to be located in a secret location – an island in the Pacific that hasn't been mapped yet ...'".
- Thunderbirds_(TV_series) quote "It was difficult for puppets to get in and out of vehicles without a great deal of trouble. Since we always tried to minimise walking, we'd show the puppets taking one step only, then promptly cut. Through interspersing the programmes with "meanwhile" scenes – that is, showing what else was going on in the story at the same time – we would then cut back to the puppet who was now already in his craft.".
- Thunderbirds_(TV_series) quote "Nothing was as successful as Thunderbirds. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons was very successful, but once you've had a smash hit, everything tends to look less successful in comparison.".
- Thunderbirds_(TV_series) quote "Thunderbirds was more adult than the other series had been. There was humour, but it was generally funny rather than silly ... However, it was the adventure that was stressed the most, and this is one reason why the show proved to be so popular: the stories are tightly plotted, gripping and convincing. Many of them were ahead of their time ... Everyone in the audience found something to love about it.".
