Gerry Anderson’s son Jamie admits Thunderbirds creator was ‘embarrassed’ by show's puppets

“That was really exciting, and that’s the thing that drives me to do what I’m doing now, there’s something amazing about making the non-tangible tangible for everyone to share.”

Jamie also shared his excitement for new audiences to discover his dad’s shows on BritBox, explaining: “Purely from a familial and pride point of view, seeing them exposed to a whole new audience yet again is amazing because Thunderbirds in particular is 55 years old.

“There aren’t many shows that demand that much attention that are that age apart from Doctor Who which is already fully on Britbox.

“I think this is next in line as a popular collection of British classics, so I’m thrilled.”

Thunderbirds, Space 1999, Captain Scarlet and more are included in BritBox’s Out of this World collection, available from 20th August on BritBox.co.uk
