This is a single reversible pack featuring two Blu-ray discs (recently repackaged).

FILMED IN SUPERMARIONATION

This is the definitive documentary telling the story of the unique puppetry and animation technique developed by Gerry and Sylvia and their team and deployed in all their programmes throughout the 1960s includingStingray,Captain Scarlet and, most famously,Thunderbirds.

Directed and co-produced by Stephen La Riviere and hosted by Lady Penelope and Parker themselves, Filmed in Supermarionation is a screen adaptation of his book of the same name and features a wealth of previously unseen archive footage, brand new interviews with the surviving casts and crews and clips from the shows themselves. A highlight of the film are ingenious and accurate recreations of the pioneering techniques used in the productions.

      Love It!

      I've wanted this documentary for ages. Fantastic definition and a great in depth documentary, I am thrilled with my purchase. I was shocked how quickly it arrived. I think its marvellous how Gerry Anderson's legacy is being treated with such respect and all this fabulous merchandise is available to celebrate our favourite shows. I intend to support the company as much as I can with regular purchases as much as my wallet will allow. FAB!

      SUPER

      Still watching through, but the documentary was FABulous, and I learned some great new facts, and really enjoyed the interviews. Excellent quality and sound, I'm looking forward to watching some more. Highly recommended.

      Filmed in Supermarionation (Blu Ray DVD)

      Absolutely brilliant to see the origin, the history and especially the stories from quite a few of the people behind the well-known Supermarionation series from the early and humble beginnings untill the end. From Sylvia and Gerry Anderson, the puppeteers to the people who provided the voices for the well known characters. Also interesting is how Thunderbirds was conceived after a mining disaster that really occured. Television images of the disaster tell that story. Also explained is why Thunderbirds stopped so suddenly as fans all over the world were still awaiting new episodes. As a bonus on disc 2 you receive episodes of all those series. You certainly get your moneys worth for a lovely trip down memory lane...

      What can I say other than thank you for a FAB purchase. Supermarionation defined my childhood. 50 years later what better way to see how it was achieved.
