Thunderbirds is a British science-fiction television series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, filmed by their production company AP Films (APF), and distributed by ITC Entertainment. It was produced between 1964 and 1966 using a combination of marionette puppetry and scale-model special effects sequences – a hybrid filming technique known as "Supermarionation". Two series comprising a total of thirty-two episodes were filmed; production came to an end after the Andersons' financial backer, Lew Grade, failed in his bid to sell the programme to American network television.
