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.

So Much Fun

2 November 2014

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

A must buy for anyone remotely interested in the history of this pioneering puppetry. There's so much nostalgia and some very interesting interviews with a large section of the production team. It certainly contained both footage and photos I've never seen before and some even in colour from the 1950s.

Treat yourselves - a great way to spend several hours for fans of any age.

Warm, engaging and well worth buying

29 December 2014

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Well worth buying! I'm always wary of buying a DVD documentary, but this DVD is one of those rare treats that will be watched again and again. It is engagingly and entertainingly presented, using characters and loads of clips from the shows. It is great to hear from so many of the original casts and crews from the years of Supermarionation, and it is very nicely balanced - no single interview gets to muscle in and take over. It also has contributions from both Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, and unlike many books/biographies/etc. (which seem to focus on the couple's relationship rather than the subject of the shows) this DVD does not. This DVD does exactly what it promises - it focusses on the development of and lifespan of Supermarionation. All the way through, there is a wry, non-too-serious undercurrent of humour, a quality that echoes the TV shows themselves. It is wonderful to see members of the crew re-united and their reaction to the recreated set. You get a warm, very real sense of how special the Supermarionation years were to these people - a time of very hard work, frustrations, elations, fun, etc. - and also a sort of wistful nostalgia. It's the same sort of nostalgia that I feel when thinking back to the bygone age of childhood and playing at Thunderbirds in the garden! But it never gets soppy - that dry little sense of humour keeps you smiling all the way through!

A Real Feel Good Documentary.

17 October 2014

Format: DVD

A massive congratulations for the team who put together this wonderful documentary, a truly superby piece of television that goes hand in hand with the AP Films productions. The film is put together beautfully and features cameo performances from the likes of David Graham, Sylvia Anderson and Shane Rimmer who take on their portrayal of certain Thunderbirds characters in short sketches that accompany the documentary. This is certainly a story that had to be told and it's a must for any Gerry Anderson fan or for people who appreciated the work he did.

Having come across this film being advertised on Facebook, I took full advantage of a rental on the BFI site and would have paid more than a modest £4.50 to watch this piece of excellence. It truly puts you in the picture with the going's on and takes you behind the scenes of one of the worlds most loved children's television dynastys. I was taken back by the special FX recreations and have nothing but love and respect for the people who made these great shows what they are. It's lovely to see Jamie Anderson (Gerry's son) involved and many of the old production team given so much time to explain their stories. I honestly think this film will go hand in hand with the Anderson's creations for many years to come, it was so enjoyable to watch and I cannot praise Stephen La Riveire enough for this little beauty.

It's very lovely to see that the magic of Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and the other shows lives on down the generations, and I now hope the release of the new series of Thunderbirds next year will pay respect to the magic that was produced in the 1960's, all from a little trading estate in Slough. To cap it off this film is well worth the watch and I will be purchasing this once released to sit proudly along side the fantastic shows it glorifies. Once again, thank you and a very well done ! Superb !!!!

Well done to Gerry and all of his team for making a little boy and now a man very happy through the years

25 December 2014

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

As I was born in the late 50's, I remember the Gerry Anderson material from Four Feather Falls onwards.( In those days on a monochrome valve tv set that took ages to warm up!.) Gerry's programmes have been part of my life ever since.
This video look back/documentary reveals the funding problems, setbacks, technical chellenges the human stories and of course all the triumphs and success involved from day one. Well done to Gerry and all of his team for making a little boy and now a man very happy through the years, I salute you all. This DVD is simply a joy.

A REAL BLAST!

14 February 2017

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Excellent documentary charting the history of APF films and beyond. Fascinating insight into the making of the famous supermarionation series. I particularly enjoyed the fact that is was narrated by Parker and Lady Penelope at a reconstructed Tracy Island control room. Very nostalgic, informative and entertaining - deserves an airing on mainstream TV! Its value for money and a long programme - I had to watch it over 3 nights as there was so much to take in. A must for anyone who grew up in the 1960's when Gerry's programmes were the best thing for us yungstars!!
