Thunderbirds
|
|
(ATV 1965–6) Series of 32 puppet films for children which have become an adult cult. The adventures in space are those of the Thunderbirds International Rescue Service, with the central characters Lady Penelope (with blonde beehive hairdo) and her reliable chauffeur Parker; they are supported by the stammering scientist Brains and many others. The series and the puppets were the creation of Gerry Anderson (b. 1929) and his wife Sylvia.
