TV classic Thunderbirds is being revived for a new full-cast audio drama.<\/p>\n

Created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, the original television series \u2013 filmed using a form of puppetry dubbed \u201cSupermarionation\u201d \u2013 aired 32 episodes across 1965 and 1966, charting the adventures of the life-saving organisation International Rescue.<\/p>\n

The team used a range of high-tech equipment to carry out their rescues, including the titular Thunderbirds \u2013 advanced craft for travelling across land, sea, air and space.<\/p>\n

Though producers Anderson Entertainment have previously released audiobooks based on the series, August 2022 release Thunderbirds Versus The Hood will be the first full-cast audio drama spin-off.<\/p>\n

The set will include two stories adapted from Thunderbirds comic strips: \u2018The Vanishing Ray\u2019 and \u2018Brains is Dead\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been itching to bring Thunderbirds to the world of audio drama for years, and now, having created a range of audiobooks, this felt like the perfect time to bring some exhilarating Thunderbirds adventures to life,\u201d said Jamie Anderson, son of Gerry and managing director of Anderson Entertainment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have such an impressive array of voice talent working across our titles that it made sense to bring them all together for the start of this sensational new range of Thunderbirds stories.\u201d<\/p>\n
