I grew up watching this offering from gerry and sylvia Anderson. Back then there was only black and white TV. 405 or 625 lines. So this program was the highlight of my week. Great programs but you could see the strings now and again. Oh! the Nostalgia a truly great box set. I have now got Joe 90, Stingray, Captain Scarlet, I just need to get fireball xl5. How sad am I.

This is a trip down memory lane for me! I grew up with the original Thunderbirds watching every episode through my childhood (plus Fireball XL5 and Stingray before and Captain Scarlet and Joe 90 after!) The new model/cgi tv series is ok but not a patch on the original (the characters are far more mature than the modern ones for a start) Gerry Anderson was the absolute king of the miniature explosion and special effects and not a computer in sight!

Excellent production quality, apart from the irritatingly slow interface when you just want it to start playing. It really shows what a revolutionary standard Gerry Anderson achieved with Thunderbirds, a small independent company did this when the BBC was blurred black and white and slow and had actors who just shouted their parts. The puppets ACT, the special effects are awesome, the incidents of great seriousness, the photography sharp and bright, the music is astonishing (Barry Gray was a genius!), and it's all lavished on a children's television series from 1964/5. It far exceeds modern standards of children's television. Lots of interesting extras too.

this box set of the original THUNDERBIRDS is still so well made and a time when kids did not have mobile phones and it was a much happier time, no CGI like most films of today, highly recommend this box set and at a fantastic price, HMV you would pay much more for item, time for HMV to close shop, and buy online,
