In less than a decade, Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's team at AP Films had reinvented television puppetry and special effects production. The next step on their ever-climbing trajectory of success was to take Thunderbirds to cinemas, with a feature length film of their own. How would their behind the scenes techniques adapt to the big screen? Would audiences respond? Would Cliff Richard make for a good puppet? Would this film prove – as predicted by executives – to be bigger than James Bond? In this clip from Filmed in Supermarionation, interviewees – including director David Lane, camera operator Alan Perry and voice actors David Graham, Shane Rimmer, and Matt Zimmerman – explain that things didn't quite go to plan.

About Me:
Century 21 Films Ltd is a multi-faceted production company whose work spans drama to documentary, miniature effects to puppet shows. It was founded by a group of filmmakers who first collaborated on Filmed in Supermarionation, the story of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's hit puppet shows including Thunderbirds, Stingray and Captain Scarlet.
Since then, we have worked for a multitude of high-profile clients including ITV, BBC, Mammoth Productions, British Film Institute and the Halifax working on projects such Thunderbirds, Endeavour, Doctor Who and The Twilight Zone.
In addition to our regular filmmaking services, we specialise in ‘Supermarionation’ - the puppetry filming technique used to make shows like Thunderbirds and have collaborated with ITV repeatedly to provide specialised services. Our work has been featured on The One Show, This Morning, Good Morning Britain, BBC News, ITV News and Mastermind.
