I'm almost becoming 60 and still have these good sentiment feelings about The Thunderbirds. At Wednesday kids-hour on our color TV. This was absolutely fantastic! Many thanks to all who have made it possible for us to see in The Netherlands.
This was a no miss programme when i was a kid here in the uk, my kids bought me a dvd with all their episodes on for my 60th birthday, we are still kids at heart.
Thunderbirds...inspired a whole generation of scientists and engineers. What have we got now to inspire the next generation - bake off and strictly come dancing! So pleased my childhood was in the 1960's / 1970's.
Couldn't agree more with your sentiments (although I was more a Captain Scarlet man). A show that made YOU want to DO things, apart from changing sex or prenouns.......
A great series for the 60's that I enjoyed that my son loved when he was a kid. So much detail in colour on a dvd, things I never saw on a B&W TV...like string lol
The teaser sequence is an astonishing bit of editing. Brought me out in goosebumps. I saw this movie in the cinema in 1966, sitting with my mum and gran. I was three. Loved all of it except those damn rock snakes. I still have the 'TV21' special that shows the making of the movie. Gran bought it for me at the cinema. Later in life, I could never understand why this movie was a flop. It was better made, and better looking than most other sci-fi movies of the era.
The film flopped, because Thunderbirds was a children’s TV series. The recent Barbie producers were careful to advertise it appropriately for an adult audience.
@@davidelliott5843- Lots of movies were made from childrens' properties - it was not an unusual occurrence. Films in the 1960's were not made as they are today, or advertised as they are nowadays; a movie like this was an event - It's one of the first movies I can think of, where a special, large format 'Making of' book was produced: the next time I saw that was the 'Special Collectors' Edition' made for Star Wars, in 1977. In 1966, Thunderbirds , the TV show, was massive. Although made in colour, UK audiences saw the show in monochrome, as we would not get affordable colour TV until a few years later, so being able to see Thunderbirds in full colour, should have been a huge draw, but somehow it wasn't. People are very fickle. Barbie was made as an movie for adults - It's cast is hardly 'kid friendly' now, is it?
You are being very kind regarding an adult audience to a doll pic. (Dear Me emoji) And I'm a rather old, original Barbie girl that truly does not understand any film thing nonsense. Thunderbirds is in a very special place in so many, many hearts....and it was home grown. 😊
I think it was a flop for the kids and some of the teenagers who were forming into the later major cinema going public in the UK, was partly due to a misunderstanding of what music stars they were interested in. Cliff Richard and The Shadows! They were my aunties favourite at that time. I suppose they couldn't get The Beatles due to finances. Chopping the big bit at the end would have certainly made it more palatable to me as an 11-year-old at the time. Perhaps their inclusion was due to them being Sylvia's pop band flavour then. Who can tell?
Oh, Wow! I'd forgotten how good this adventure was, all those years later, and I was still glued to the screen, to think I was only a year old when this was first aired. How time flies, now I'm all grown up and kinda on the way to retiring…! 'Gees!' What a quality version though, thanks for posting… “This is FAB!” 😆💯👌👍
im 64 always loved thunderbirds since i was 5 or 6 years of age back in the mid sixies this is the first time ive ever since the film really enjoyed it truely fab
Watched these when I was a nipper, but the moustaches and beards at the end is classic. Always good to know that even International Rescue has a great sense of humour.
So good. Thanks for keeping the TBirds alive. Love the way everything always EXPLODES (often just before actual impact! 🙂) Great show, ahead of it's time in so many ways.
I'm 66, recently received my state pension. Thunderbirds was the greatest tv series for kids ever. Thank you Gerry Anderson and your team. So many happy memories.
Even more amazing when people learn that every episode was shot and created in a rather small studio/office building on a Slough Trading Estate. I liked UFO and Space999 enough, but Gerry Anderson was at his peak when he created this series.
I’m the same as you 66 and watching this as an adult I realise how absolutely amazing it is from a production point of view plus of course thunderbirds will always keep me young at heart. I’m still a kid enjoying this masterpiece ❤
Found this by luck and just devoured it. I grew up with Thunderbirds and then my kids did as well. Thaks for this - better than so much of the **** we get pushed at us these days :)
One of the best series ever. Had bought the set (one to four, 5 was not available) of the snap-together softish plastic models. Should have kept them. Trying to make a radio-control version of Thunderbird 2.
I just watched the scene where FAB1 is in pursuit of the Hood. He turns around and says, "I don't believe it!...I don't believe it!". This takes me back to another TV classic: "One Foot In the Grave". It became a catch phrase from that show as Victor Meldrew would use it at least once in each episode 😂.
Personally, I don't like some of the shots they used of certain vehicles. FAB1 flying off of the end if the pier just looks like someone flung a toy off of it. Same with TB1s take off. But some of the other action shots are amazingly on point. Like Zero-X losing it's rear landing gear
Gonna be honest the intro showing what will happen in the movie was pretty poorly put together and after watching most of the video I noticed literally every cut. I still commend your work but honestly I’d be very proud of you if you done it again and shortened it a bit more to 48 minutes like most episodes are. But yeah still well done on even attempting it. Such a great movie. I own the diecast zero x by aoshima (captain scarlet version unfortunately) which I believe showcases my love for the vehicle and its crew
How have you managed to keep the Copyright Police over at ITV away from this? I’ve created my own edit of the movie and struggled to keep it on TH-cam due to the opening titles being copyright struck very quickly
I simply use grizzly bears on copyright trolls, and lions, tigers, and other poisonous and deadly creatures, as, without people to enforce the copyrights, they cannot enforce their draconian hypocrisy on the masses.
Seems odd sitting in the future they anticipated watching this nearly sixty years later, our technology is every bit as advanced as was predicted, but it's a great shame the rest of our real future isn't as nice as the sixties version, very happy days indeed.
Which masters of the episodes are they showing on Talkie Pictures TV? Are they the DVD remasters released by Carlton in the early 2000s which look rather dirty, the crappy cropped 16:9 HD remasters which were released on Blu-ray in the UK or the newer 4:3 HD remasters which haven't been released on Blu-ray in the UK? Though they are available in the UK on ITVX with the original unaltered mono soundtracks. I mainly ask as I'm at work on Saturdays and don't get to see them.
I too grew up with the Gerry Anderson as a child from Supercar to Captain Scarlet. You may grow oold physically, but can still stay young mentally with memories. Many thanks for the upload. FAB.
I like the new Thunderbirds very much but this Thunderbirds always does it for me l alway love watching this tv series and the two films 😊even though I am 60 years old it still good to watch 😊👍👏👏
As a kid I couldn't wait for Wednesday afternoon TV after getting home from school. Thunderbirds' first showings (in 1965) began at 5.25pm and broke off for the evening news at about 6.00, leaving the audience hanging on until it resumed for the actual rescue. "Scene at 6.30" came on after that. My school friends and I spent the whole of the following day discussing the previous night's episode, eagerly waiting for the next. To this day, it remains my favourite TV programme. Footnote: The Daily Express ran an article a few days before it came to the small screen. There were photos of the some of marionettes and the machines...FAB1 was highlighted, and it totally blew me away. I still remember the excitement when I saw it...great days. 😊
I think kids miss out these days i grew up with thunderbirds still love it jerry and syvia should be very proud pf there legacy an era never again to be replicated sadly
Everything about "Thunderbirds Are Go" is what the future use to look like. The theme music was written with such pomp and circumstance that it makes me salute. Supercar, Fireball XL5 and this were my favorites. Even had the Supercar lunchbox. It was a great time to be a 60's kid.
Мне 62. Но похоже я смотрел другой сериал- немецкий. Там летали на космических кораблях и космических мотоциклах. Не вспомню названия, но там тоже были куклы.
Same here: I'm also 66 and a pensioner. Gerry Anderson deserves a medal. Thunderbirds and Stingray marked my childhood. I still remember each and every episode.
The main issues with the original movie IMHO: Not enough use of the International Rescue craft; the ridiculously self indulgent, (by the design team) overlong dream sequence and (although i love it!) the drawn out Zero-X assembly sequence. This is great by the way!
Wow.. this is awesome! I'm 70, and grew up with this! God bless the Andersons.. Don't forget Stingray! Or.. Fireball XL5!!
my fave capatain scarlett
Am. Sixty years old I used to watch. This. As. Child. Still. Watch. It. 2024 👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰
Fantastic job! I only ever watched this on an old B&W TV in the 1960s. Colours and contrast are amazing. Thanks!

Pmsl Virgils beard 😂😂😂😂😂
(I start to sing the "Moustache" song from Team Four Star).
What gets me best is the theam tune. A big brass band, English at that.
Brilliant. Never gets old.

👍 💯 I was just Born when it came out, loved it. ❤️
I'm not far behind you, enjoyed watching Thunderbirds as youngsters still do ❤

I'm 64 and Tracey Island still has pride of place on the front-room shelf (along with Thunderbird 2 & a Spectrum SPV).
F.A.B.
65 yrs old still got my die cast Thunderbird 2 in a box somewhere.
子供の頃に、リアルタイムで見て2号が大好きでプラモデルを作ったのが懐かしい
As I kid I loved watching this as a adult I still enjoy it
Found this by luck and just devoured it. I grew up with Thunderbirds and then my kids did as well. Thaks for this - better than so much of the **** we get pushed at us these days :)
I'm 63yr old and STILL LOVE THEM
All the effects are still superb - FAAAAAAAAR better than any C.G.I.
F.A.B.
I'm 67 just a pensioner and I started on stingray, stingray!!
One of the best series ever. Had bought the set (one to four, 5 was not available) of the snap-together softish plastic models. Should have kept them. Trying to make a radio-control version of Thunderbird 2.
One of my favorite shows❤❤😊😊😊
Crisp and clean, but very dark...
どんなにCGが進歩してもこれを超える映画は出てこない。
Wow....quality's pretty awesome can see you made a great effort restoring these episodes big ups from down under, bro
I NEVER KNEW THERE WAS A FILM MADE IN 1966
Always loved the original Thunderbirds, I have all the originals on dvd, the recent reboot series was an insult to the originals
Well paced with fun and excitement more than an original release..👌
I just watched the scene where FAB1 is in pursuit of the Hood.
He turns around and says, "I don't believe it!...I don't believe it!".
This takes me back to another TV classic: "One Foot In the Grave".
It became a catch phrase from that show as Victor Meldrew would use it at least once in each episode 😂.
Headphone warning 😂😂 it is fantastic though
am watching it with my grandchild having watched it with my son and of cause myself
Amazing job. Especially the opening.
I loved it, is very long time to watch this series! 😎👍❤️
Good job, but sound levels are all over the place!
I just want to make it clear, in case anyone here has not done so. But Thunderbird 2 is clearly the coolest..😊
Wow they came back to earth on September 2nd thats today ...!!!! spooky
56 and still watching
magical
It was fabulous
In den Jahr bin ich Geboren ! Waaaahnsinn !
I've never understood how the design team got Mars so wrong.
They knew it was red but went for a surface which was more like the Moon.
Odd
If the pictures from the most recent rovers are to go by, they weren't far off.
@@10thstudio Well they could at least have made it red.
.
Very crushed in the blacks - its a great idea though - maybe work on making mars more Mars with some VFX
Excellent job with the visuals, but dialogue and music segments have wildly differing levels. I would have evened them out more.
Personally, I don't like some of the shots they used of certain vehicles.
FAB1 flying off of the end if the pier just looks like someone flung a toy off of it. Same with TB1s take off.
But some of the other action shots are amazingly on point. Like Zero-X losing it's rear landing gear

Remastered? The soundtrack is all over the place. Urgently needs a compressor on it.
Nice but too many cuts in the opening montage.
I don't care what anybody says, Thunderbird 2 was the coolest. This is a hill I am prepared to die on!
Oh I see, they’ve cut quite a bit … including cliff richard 😢
Why did you rrmove the toyalMatines bsnd pergotming the thiderbirds marvh from yhe end of the film?
the film?
is there an explanation somewhere as to the differences from the original or why this recut was made?
in Japanese films opening theme song Japanese lyrics include ed
La musica era suuuuupeerrrr
Not sure...some decent looking movie kept interrupting the ads.

この未来感大好きだったなこれも良く人形でやつたもんだよな
Who needs Hollywood when we've got Thunderbirds👍😊
The greatest ever tv show for kids! Im 67 and I'll never forget the anticipation of waiting for the next episode! Golden days indeed!

I hear ya! Im close to 63 and I used to run home after grade school to catch it on Channel 5 at 4pm sharp... And dont forget Fireball XL-5...

I agree it was big I never missed it but like I said lady penolpe
66
This take me back a bit to my childhood, the world was a lot simpler then and a hell of a lot more sane. Great days.
Absolutely true (both!)
In case anyone's not noticed. The original series has just started a brand new run on Talking Pictures TV at 3pm on Saturday afternoons.
Thanks for that! … 👍👍
I have the whole series on DVD along with Captain Scarlet and Jo 90. 🤗

That music. Takes one right back to the weekends watching the episodes. Pure nostalgia. Then there are the machines.

Am a millennial and I just love this show, remember when I was younger I just couldn't believe it was a show from the 60's ..
😂
Some say that Virgil Tracy is a wooden actor - I say that he is just highly strung..
He could be a CIA puppet.
No strings attached.
Mate, their marionettes( puppets). They're not meant to act
God help anyone on the ground after that crash
They all evacuated.
God help everyone who needed rehoming after that crash.
When I was 8, 15 now, I used to watch this every morning at 6 after my grandpa introduced me: still makes me feel something nothing else can.

Thunderbird 2 was my favourite, I had the die-cast as a kid it had TB 4 in it's cargo hold, many hours of fun with that toy. Happy days.
Thunderbirds are GO !!! gets me every time
I’m 23 and I love this show! I use to watch it all the time as a kid with my father
Not for the last time, a Zero X mission in which they fire first provokes a war with otherwise peaceful aliens.
audio balance needs adjustment... its either intermittent high volume or intermittent very low volume....
please re-edit and re-upload..
Same here: I'm also 66 and a pensioner. Gerry Anderson deserves a medal. Thunderbirds and Stingray marked my childhood. I still remember each and every episode.
You edited out the funniest part when Parker shoots down the helicopter and Lady Penelope says that 'there's no point looking for survivors'
Much better without that stupid bloody dream sequence with Cliff and The Shadows in the night club. Cheers.
Brilliant and Gerry Anderson was a genius, predicting video calls and smart watches in the 1960s
The main issues with the original movie IMHO: Not enough use of the International Rescue craft; the ridiculously self indulgent, (by the design team) overlong dream sequence and (although i love it!) the drawn out Zero-X assembly sequence. This is great by the way!
Having so much respect for Penelope is just so intelligent.
