Over half a century since Thunderbirds first blasted off on TV screens, Anderson Entertainment is thrilled to present the definitive home release of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's iconic Supermarionation TV series. Within this Blu-ray boxset, all 32 episodes of the heroic adventures of International Rescue have been painstakingly restored to breath-taking high definition quality. The series is also presented in its original 4:3 aspect ratio and comes with the option of original mono or enhanced 5:1 soundtracks.
This spectacular collectors edition boasts a number of significant improvements compared to previous Blu-ray releases of Thunderbirds. These include reintroducing cut shots, removing film dirt where significant, and fixing severe sound issues as respectfully as possible, allowing fans the most authentic viewing experience of Thunderbirds on home media.
This collectors' set also comes packed with a veritable swarm of special features, including legacy content from past releases and newly produced material exclusive to this release, amounting to over 8 hours of bonus content to enjoy alongside the classic series!
Included in this set are the three Thunderbirds Anniversary Episodes - Introducing Thunderbirds, The Abominable Snowman, and The Stately Home Robberies - available for the first time on general home entertainment release. These episodes were produced by Century 21 Films to celebrate Thunderbirds' 50th anniversary in 2015. The Kickstarter campaign used to raise funds for the making of these episodes became the most successful TV/film-based crowdfunding campaign of its time. The episodes themselves were previously available only to backers of the crowdfunding campaign before being made available on home media in Japan and digitally through BritBox.
Also produced for this set is Thunderbirds: FAB at 60. This brand new 50-minute documentary features a variety of film-makers, actors and other fans celebrating the lasting cultural impact Thunderbirds has, including J. Michael Stracynnski, Jonathan Ross, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Nicola Bryant, John Logan, Joe Kraemer, and many more.
Other bonus material includes Fabblebox, an all new Supermarionation mini-adventure starring Genevieve Gaunt as Lady Penelope and Jon Culshaw as Parker, Nosey Parker is Go!, a HD restoration of the classic fan-made Parker tribute featuring newly recorded dialogue from David Graham, all new audio commentaries from voice artists and special guests, and so much more new and classic extra material to enjoy!
The Thunderbirds 60th Anniversary Collectors Edition Blu-ray also comes with a beautifully produced, in-depth 110-page series guidebook and six large posters designed by Graham Bleathman, all encased in a premium rigid slipcase with all-new exclusive artwork.
To celebrate the release of this spectacular Blu-ray boxset even further, we're giving away a selection of free Thunderbirds items for the first few hundred fans who order their Blu-ray boxsets!
The first 10 customers will receive a free cover of The Genius of Gerry Anderson stamps taken from the Gerry Anderson archive. The next 100 customers will receive a free Thunderbirds 60th anniversary patch, and the next 250 customers will receive a free Thunderbirds 60th anniversary poster!
