Step into the twisted mind of Gerry Anderson, and see how he makes Thunderbirds, as well as Stingray(1962-64) and his other little puppet shows. F.A.B.!!! Its 39 half-hour episodes were originally screened in the UK and in syndication in the USA. Stingray was the first Supermarionation show to be filmed in color, and also the first in which marionettes had interchangeable heads with different facial expressions.
