The Stately Homes Robberies has been screened for the first time at a private event for backers of the Thunderbirds 1965 Kickstarter campaign.
The episode, along with the other two episodes, was shown in a preview screening for backers who had pledged the appropriate amount during the campaign. The rest of us will have to wait just a little longer to see these amazing new productions!
Focus now switches to the production of the rewards for backers, and when the discs will be available for eager fans to watch in the comfort of their own living rooms. Steven La Rivière has revealed that the discs will be accompanied by a number of special extra features, to be confirmed.
An incredible 3,378 backers pledged £218,412 to help make this project a reality, and the delivery of these episodes will be one of the highlights of 2016 for all fans of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s work. We can’t wait to see them!
