If you’re Jurassic like me, you probably grew up marveling at the work of Gerry Anderson and the “Supermarionation” magic he worked on shows like Supercar, Fireball XL-5, Thunderbirds, and Stingray. I’m sure these shows went a long way to rope-starting my lifelong fascination with space, science, gadgets, miniatures, and puppet sex (wait, scratch that last one). Andrew over at PuppetVision (I can’t vouch for him on the puppet sex thing), has posted a link to a vid for “The Making of Thunderbirds,” a short promo piece, done for UK TV, in 1964.
