Soooo good, I can't get that theme song out of my head. I couldn't 40 years ago and I still can't. I remember taping it with an old cassette recorder while making my little sister be quiet so I could 'tape'. Unbelievable how time has flown. Thanks for the flashback, I will be humming this tune for days to come.
I first remember seeing Thunderbirds when I was seven, in 1974. The visual effects of these futuristic IR rockets & aircraft and marionette characters were(and still are) second to none. No one could top Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation techniques! RIP, Mr. Anderson. 😔
I am 59. I grew up with these wonderful action packed Anderson shows. I started with Stingray the Thunderbirds then Captain Scarlet and when I got a little older, I faithfully watched Jerry Anderson live action shows space 1999 and UFO. I have all the boxed Anderson DVD sets and love them all but Thunderbirds is my favorite and will always be. I still build model airplanes and sci fi kits. I have all the old Japanese made Thunderbirds kits in my stash. All the years that have gone by I still am in awe of all the simply fantastic miniatures they created for these shows. I cannot wrap my head around how many hours were spent creating this action packed world the Anderson's created for us. I will also always think Meddings and his crew of artists were just pure genius.
I was aged 10 in 1965, and Thunderbirds was the programme that captured all our imaginations. I certainly never missed an episode. As an adult years later I was very fortunate to meet Shane Rimmer. He was opening a Thunderbirds themed fete at a school in Woodford Green in Essex. It was very surreal to meet him in the flesh, as I listened to his voice it certainly carried me back to my childhood. So today 2018 at my age 63, I have the photo of me and Mr Rimmer standing together at the kids fete. I have one big soppy grin on my face, as I'd met one of my childhood heroes, and memories like that are pure gold. Thanks for posting, you've made a happy man very old.👍❤
Grew up watching this in Chicago. Still sends chills down my spine. That show was so cool! And it still has one of the best openings in the history of TV. The moment it starts, you are hooked!
glad my dad brought me up on the Gerry Anderson classics, i’m 24 now and remember when these episodes were shown during summer holidays, me and my brother VHS taped as many as we could. those were the days! think we’ve still got our Tracy Island playset in the attic somewhere...
When I was a kid ( 1960's early 70's) I watched Fireball XL5 , and later on Thunder birds. It was great entertainment . FireballXL5 was early 60's. Thunder birds was shown in the late.70"s where I lived.
Happy 50th Birthday Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds The Original Series. 1965 - 2015. 50 Years Of Family Fun Action Adventure And Excitement. Thanks Mate. F.A.B. X
In Latin America "Thunderbirds" was translated to spanish language "Rescate Internacional" ("International Rescue") I was 7 or 8 years old when I watched the show for the first time in a black and white TV format 😄 Now I'm 55. Regards from a venezuelan citizen who emigrated to Chile searching a better way of life.
After some years being shown on the English TV channels in Montreal in the later 60s and early 70s, it then got dubbed into France and was shown for a while on a French TV channel as Les Sentinelles De L'Air. So, for about a decade, my memory of the Intro was 'Cinque, Quarte, Trois, Deux, Un, Ils sont patri!'
In Australia it used to be on Channel 9 at 6AM on a Saturday morning and the trick was to get up early as a kid or as a teenager and then later as an adult to try and stay up all night before watching the show and then go to bed. My Aunty only had daughters and was surprised that my brother and I would get up so early on a Saturday morning to watch a TV show, sitting there in our pyjamas, cold but watching TV. I think she thought that we were crazy.
I'm 63 now and Loved All Things SUPERMARIONATION! I watched these with bated breath as a Sci-Fi Geek Since Consciousness! These shows were So Well VOICED my mind filled in all the appropriate emotions!
The countdown - so epic - the way he pronounces "onee" it's just so emotive - goosebumps to hear it again :) - I've been through Weta workshop here in New Zealand and loved seeing all the new sets they built for the new version ( I even got to lower the trees for TB2 take off which was cooooooool) and they did a great job... but the original can't be beaten...
I watched the show in 1967 when I was 14 and I enjoyed it very much...I always loved planes and rockets, but The Thunderbirds made me want te become a pilot myself. And six years later my dream came true and I made my first solo! The 18 th of August it is fifty years ago...Time flies but Thunderbirds will last forever!
Google translate: In Japan, it was broadcasted on state TV (NHK) about 50 years ago. Many children admired and continued to strive to do someday. Now, we are under the results of our efforts. I thank Britain.

Why isn't Barry Gray a bettering known composer? He produced melodies that were dramatic, romantic, epic, whimsical, tranquil, rousing, and all brilliant. Anyone who doesn't stand a little taller when hearing the Zero X theme has no soul.
Because this isn't about Barry Gray as composer. It is about Gerry Anderson as the creator of this and other shows. I am sure that if you search Barry Gray, you will find many of his works
@@eventingcrazy I refer you to the title of the video. "Thunderbirds 1965 - 1966, opening and closing themes". I know there are uploads to TH-cam, etc. What I meant was the sort of critical praise that goes to the likes of John Williams, Hans Zimmer, et al. It seems that a cinema composer can be legitimately lauded, and have concerts dedicated to their work, while a composer whose work was predominantly TV oriented is overlooked. Barry Gray was also an innovator in electronic music and his work inspired many others in the field.
Strange to think that 55 years after the first episode, Fireflash and Thunderbird 1 seem even less likely to ever fly. There are not many things considered futuristic in 1964, that are still futuristic. If you look at all the Anderson crew that went on to James Bond movies you can see the quality, from Lois Maxwell to Derek Meddings. I mean anyone who can design Fireball XL5, Stingray, 5 Thunderbirds, the SPV & SPC, the Shado mobiles and interceptors, and then turn a Lotus 79 Esprit S1 prototype into a submarine is a talented bloke. Legends all of them.
The future has rather let down the generation I'm from. Even though I was very young I remember there was an optimism that we don't have now. There was still a hell of a lot wrong with the world in the sixties but there was a feeling that it would all be put right. Not any more. Anyway, I'd like to add, if I may, Angel interceptor & MSV from Captain Scarlet, skyship 1 from Thunderbird 6, and the eagle transporter and hawk from S1999.
This is proper classic Thunderbirds that i used to watch as a child growing up , not the 💩 version they have on tv today or recently. I make me 😤 that they didn't bring back this version instead, because this is definetly the best version of Thunderbirds without a doubt.
Brilliant. The suspense the drama everything and to think that Gerry Anderson and the team managed to make all these with the restricted walking movements of the puppets. May be I'm just nostalgic but for me the puppets give an appealing and intriguing perspective and like comics from the golden age manage to take you somewhere else for a while. Somewhere that is related to our world but isn't and I think that is key.
Those who dont get the show need to realize that it came out during the early part of the space race. Technology seemed to be developing at lightning speed and the 1950s sci fi stories seemed about to come true.
Barry Gray was a musical genius, it's a shame so few know his name. I was 6 when Thunderbirds first appeared on the telly and I *loved* it (the B&W set Mum and Dad had would often fail)
My 62 year old father loves this show and showed it to me all the time when I was little. Don't worry, old timers, I'll show it to my kids too and keep it alive.

Ever heard of Arthur of the Britons? Fabulous kids' series with a truly cinematic theme, written by a movie composer. I also loved the theme of both UFO & Space 1999, both made by Gerry Anderson.
@@geowynleda4641 I know - same here! It's just that with the passage of time, I've come to realise it was so much more than that. It definitely worked for me as a kid, but if I watch an episode now, it will probably have all the elements of a bona fide drama - especially the way they always build tension, perhaps by adding in a time limit, or some catastrophe which will occur soon if x or y is not completed. Marvellous!
@@markstevens8571 It's a pity today's writers don't put as much effort into their dramas as the Thunderbirds team did. Each episode was different with a great story and some were better than some of the most recent so-called action films.
Thunderbirds in HD is terrific visually, with much better sound too! It's like the series has been regenerated, better than when originally shown! Happy days ;D
Theres nothing more touching than to hear this to take you back more than 5 decades as a little boy glued to the TV screen.
I'm 61 years young and I still love Thunderbirds. That opening music has to be the best theme ever composed ! It's just F.A.B !
Johnny Quest
Me too I’m 61 now and still love all of this ,including Joe 90 and Stingray
61 as well... My fav TV show as a kid.
Awesome show
I'm 75 and I love Thunderbirds ❤

By Christ how I loved this when I was a kid. Still love it as a 49 year old kid. Will always love it. The opening teaser bit is magnificent.
Without a shadow of a doubt, one of the very best themes ever.
Barry Grey was the man.

BARRY GRAY.
Nearly 60 and I still love Thunderbirds. FAB!
RPM Nearly 61...and Thunderbirds are GO!!!
Me too, 58 and I still love Thunderbirds.
ProfH...We grew up watching them and watch them still.
Mark F...Yes indeed, and remember anything can happen in the next 1/2 hour. I know that was said with Stingray but that's ok. It was another fav.
Gerry and Sylvia anderson were great, Thunderbirds, Stingray, Joe 90 and many more made a joyful childhood.
The arrangements and musical direction of Barry Gray has never been equalled or bettered. The man was a musical genius.

63 and I STILL love everything Gerry Anderson and his team ever did!!!
Unbelievably classy theme....loved it since I was a kid...
Aussie Joe
Barry Gray’s best theme of all Gerry Anderson’s productions.
私は、61歳の日本人です。多分 ライブでテレビ放映されていたのを テレビに齧り付くように見ておりました。
人形と人間の映像を織り交ぜて見せる手法だったんですが、夢中になってみた記憶があります。 島の色々なところから各機が出てくるところや各機に乗り込むところも大好きでした。また opennning Thema songも カッコよく いまだに 仕事で元気を出す時には、聞く程です。 子供の頃に出会えて 本当に幸せでした。
Grew up in the 90's watching these shows, still love Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90 and Stingray
All I can say, this is what launched me in science, enginerring and beyond....thank you Gerry Anderson..
This was an incredible show for kids on Saturday mornings. Intelligent and creative for its time. Great memories.
トレイシー一家彼等は自分にとって永遠的のヒーローです。
Grew up watching this in Chicago. Still sends chills down my spine. That show was so cool! And it still has one of the best openings in the history of TV. The moment it starts, you are hooked!
Discovered this show this morning and was I blown away by the detail. At 67 y.o., the show is new to me! Sundays, Me TV, 7 AM (or so).
I got you by year and watched these and others as they were first broadcast and still love 'em . So you're not alone and I suspect we are not alone !
glad my dad brought me up on the Gerry Anderson classics, i’m 24 now and remember when these episodes were shown during summer holidays, me and my brother VHS taped as many as we could. those were the days!
think we’ve still got our Tracy Island playset in the attic somewhere...
This series got me through my early childhood. Brilliant imagination of Gerry Anderson.
I'm Japanese.
Thunderbirds is great ! fantastic ! and beautiful !
Thanks Greet Britain.
I'm glad the Japanese enjoyed at least one of our creations!
You are welcome. Thank you for Akira Kurosawa.
You’re double welcome. Thank you for anime ^_^

Just a Timeless television programme I used to watch every week Thanks again
Whether you are talking movies, fashion, music, television or comedy there is no better decade than the 60s.
70's, Star Wars. 'Nuff said.

So, for about a decade, my memory of the Intro was 'Cinque, Quarte, Trois, Deux, Un, Ils sont patri!'
In Mexico the show would go by its original name, but with pronunciation flaws of course: “Tonderbers”. Nevertheless the show was incredibly magical.
The Finnish translation is Myrskylinnut. Direct translation for that however is Storm birds.
Here in Brasil the title was Thunderbirds - Resgate Internacional. GREAT SHOW.

Bloody brilliant!! First discovered this show as an eight year old around '84-'85 and been hooked ever since...

I'm 56 and still want to pilot Thunderbird 2
rideyourbikent Ha yes , I want 2
Who wouldn't....😁
Me too TB2 anytime
I want to be a pilot of nuclear-powered airliner " Fireflash" between London and Tokyo !
I had one!... It was a Corgi... came from England... My pride and joy!... The pod dropped out, and you could put cargo into it!.. Fantastic!
The countdown - so epic - the way he pronounces "onee" it's just so emotive - goosebumps to hear it again :) - I've been through Weta workshop here in New Zealand and loved seeing all the new sets they built for the new version ( I even got to lower the trees for TB2 take off which was cooooooool) and they did a great job... but the original can't be beaten...

The best of the best TV series !
Made my childhood better !

thanks SO much!
2023 and still waiting for this to be a reality
I was born 33 years after Thunderbirds aired, but I remember watching the digitally restored DVD shows with my grandparents.
I love the way he says "2"!
Brilliant download my favourite programme. ....Thunderbirds.
I especially like the way the closing theme ends. I could imagine a marching band doing a little step and twist to it.
I completely agree, the orchestra seem to ramp it up a notch.
I’m 65 and I still love thunderbirds.

It doesn't happen out THERE - it happens in HERE.
How can just 5mins bring back so many memories??
The combination of great visual effects, the quirkiness of Supermarionation, the stories and bad jokes and the sound track.
38 years old and I don't know how many times I built the Thunderbird 2 with my Legos... And Mecano
Those who dont get the show need to realize that it came out during the early part of the space race. Technology seemed to be developing at lightning speed and the 1950s sci fi stories seemed about to come true.
A lot of the comments say "I'm 55 I love Thunderbirds" well I'm 20 and so do I!
Haha same ! I’m 19 and absolutely love this show !!
Well allow me to give this a twist, then. I'm 36 and I grew up with this. And I absolutely love the new remake series.
as do i, my dad bought me all the VHS tapes when i was little and have been a fan ever since. (21)
Glad to see so many younger people getting a kick out of a well made tv series made 55yrs ago on Slough trading estate uk
I'm 60 years old. I still remember this TV show . Amazing Thanks For Sharing . 👍👍✌✌
Absolutely brilliant tv. So many great memories.
best show when I was a child,,,watch it on an old RCA
black and white ,great memories
Barry Gray was a musical genius, it's a shame so few know his name. I was 6 when Thunderbirds first appeared on the telly and I *loved* it (the B&W set Mum and Dad had would often fail)
Still gives me goosebumps ❤️
I was 7 years old and deeply in love with Virgil (thunderbird 2) . 😂😂😂
Happy memories❤❤❤
I m 58, n still watching over and over and over and........
I had the biggest crush on Lady Penelope as a kid
me too!! I think i had more of a a crush on the Rolls though ha ha!!

Gerry Anderson, greatest theme tunes ever !
今20歳だけど小さい頃親父の影響でサンダーバードにはまってプラモデル集めてた。とりあえず2号の真似して滑り台逆さまに滑ってた。
子供ながらに買えるプラモで家庭の経済状況が判ってしまう。
最初は2号。だって4号やモグラーが付いてくるから。
次に1号、3号、5号、4号、ペネロープ号の順かな。
上がりは秘密基地!!買えた友達が羨ましくて仕方なかった。
幼稚園の頃は皆ひょっこりひょうたん島と一緒に毎週見てたよね
オープニングのカウントダウン。
本来『不協和音』だったのを、こんなワクワクする音楽に変えてしまうバリー・グレイは、やはり天才だ。
1:05~
Imagine if the soundtrack wasn't as awesome as it is,
Watching in Lock down here in the UK.
Love and blessing from Wolverhampton England to you all stay safe.
I watched every Saturday on channel 9 CKLW in Detroit !!! Loved it !!!

The music still makes my spine tingle
My god those trombones!! send chills ...Supercar, Fireball XL5, Captain Scarlet...all my faves prepped all us boomers for Star Trek!!
Iconic. The Music needs no other word.
Has there ever been a theme tune before or since that can match this one ? Surely the best theme ever !
Joe 90 ??
Ever heard of Arthur of the Britons? Fabulous kids' series with a truly cinematic theme, written by a movie composer. I also loved the theme of both UFO & Space 1999, both made by Gerry Anderson.
Sweeny ITV 1970's. Or TOTP? Or the shipping forecast. This is timeless stuff.
Bravo Barry Gray for writing such a great theme. 👍👍
oh!it's such a sad day!Sylvia Anderson has passed away!bless you,sylivia!you gave us lady penelope!UFO was my favorite program,too!from:betsye thomas
hey matey, She passed away 15th March, yes it was very sad indeed!
The end of an era of Supermaronation. Thank you Gerry & Silvia Anderson for stimulating my childhood imagination.
53 and love Thunderbirds.The music is iconic and rousing.
Thunderbirds is my favourite from Gerry Anderson with c Captain Scarlet being second.
