Between 1965 and 1967, Century 21 Records released 19 Thunderbirds audio plays in the form of 7-inch, 33 RPM vinyl EP records (promoted as "mini-albums"), each about 21 minutes long.[6][7] Three of these were original stories;[6] the rest were retellings of selected TV episodes, each condensed from the original soundtrack with added narration by one of the main characters.[8][9] In 1990, revised versions of eight plays were broadcast as a mini-series on BBC Radio 5.[8]

Of the original stories, voice actors Peter Dyneley, David Graham and Sylvia Anderson featured in all three, Ray Barrett in two and Shane Rimmer in one.[10][11] Two of the stories – F.A.B. and The Stately Homes Robberies – were told from the point of view of Lady Penelope and Parker, and featured original music by Barry Gray.[12] In 2015, the stories were adapted as screen episodes to mark Thunderbirds' 50th anniversary.[13]

1Thunderbirds Are GoDavid LaneGerry and Sylvia Anderson93 minutes15 December 1966 (1966-12-15)
The spacecraft Zero-X is bound for Mars, carrying a crew of five astronauts. But when the craft experiences a critical mechanical fault shortly after take-off, the crew are forced to eject to safety while the multi-million dollar spacecraft crashes into the ocean. Two years later, an investigation committee releases the official report on the crash, concluding that the cause of the crash was sabotage. While the mission is put on hold, the committee decides that extra security measures would be required for a re-launch. After some debate, they decide to call on the services of International Rescue. The Thunderbirds machines, with the help of London Agent, Lady Penelope, make sure that the second launching attempt is successful. Once the craft lands on Mars, the crew start to explore the planet and collect rock samples, but when they encounter unexpected problems, they are forced to return to Earth sooner than planned. On re-entering Earth's atmosphere, the crew encounter further problems when a lifting body (one of two remote controlled wings equipped with additional engines and undercarriage and used, one above the nose-end of the spacecraft and one under the engine cluster at the tail, for take-off and landing) suffers a mechanical fault and collides with the rear of the craft, damaging the escape unit circuit. With the crew unable to escape, it is again up to International Rescue to save the astronauts, as well as a town in the Zero-X flightpath, from disaster.
2Thunderbird 6David LaneGerry and Sylvia Anderson89 minutes29 July 1968 (1968-07-29)
Jeff Tracy wants Brains to design a new Thunderbird vehicle, a project of such complexity that he is forced to decline his place on the maiden round-the-world flight of his jet-assisted airship, Skyship One. Lady Penelope, Alan, Tin-Tin and Parker are invited, and fly a rebuilt, vintage Tiger Moth biplane before boarding the airship. The International Rescue representatives set off on a luxury world tour, unaware that they are entrusting their safety to assassins who have murdered the real crew of Skyship One, are working for a master criminal identified as "Black Phantom", and are covertly recording and editing Penelope's conversations to assemble a false distress call summoning International Rescue to an abandoned airbase in the north African desert. With the ship inbound to England, the assassins have finally secured enough tape to send the message, but the four passengers have figured out the plan and warn Jeff Tracy in time to avert the hi-jacking of Thunderbirds 1 and 2. On Skyship One, the assassins are attacked, but in the ensuing gunfight manage to capture Tin-Tin as hostage. The ship's gravity drive is also damaged, and Skyship One crashes into the top of the central relay tower of a missile base near Dover. With the ship precariously suspended above ground, International Rescue must use the Tiger Moth to rescue the passengers and crew. The rescue attempt is disrupted when the assassins hi-jack the Tiger, just before Skyship One finally crashes to the ground.

Compilation films edit

The Anniversary Episodes edit

In 2015, to mark Thunderbirds' 50th anniversary, ITV commissioned Pod 4 Films to produce a mini-series of new episodes based on the original audio stories from the 1960s. The project's £218,000 budget was crowdfunded through a campaign on Kickstarter.[23][24]

Filming was conducted on the former premises of AP Films on the Slough Trading Estate,[23] with a crew that included some of the production personnel from the original Thunderbirds.[13] The adaptation of "The Stately Homes Robberies" was directed by David Elliott, making it his first new Thunderbirds episode in 49 years.

The mini-series had a premiere screening at the BFI Southbank in 2016 and was subsequently released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc to its Kickstarter backers.[25] Titled The Anniversary Episodes, it was added to BritBox in 2020.[26]
