About Me:
Century 21 Films Ltd is a multi-faceted production company whose work spans drama to documentary, miniature effects to puppet shows. It was founded by a group of filmmakers who first collaborated on Filmed in Supermarionation, the story of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's hit puppet shows including Thunderbirds, Stingray and Captain Scarlet.

Man, it's still fantastic to see these Supermarionation behind the scenes documentaries and seeing how they create their classic masterpieces! 😁😉👍
Excellent to see these behind the scenes. As a kid watching these shows there was nothing better. I loved all Gerry Anderson's shows. 70 yrs old now and have gotten many of them on DVD. Great Television.
That was such a trip down memory lane for me! My sister had Pelham puppets of the crew of supercar and also had a Theatre set too and my mum painted a complete backdrop to the set with supercar in it and it was just lovely so we used to pretend to do our own shows! Thank you all for making my childhood and all the others back then too! R.I.P to those that have passed on! 😢
I love all the behind the scenes stuff too. Thank you for sharing!
When you see a building that created so much magic for children, turned into a tyre fitting premises................
A woodland full of flora and fauna turned into a place to make shows for children, all relative really.

It's fascinating to see the people and places that made the fantasy adventure world that added excitement and wonder to a kid's day.

Fascinating - particularly the info about Barry Gray!
Wow, this is so nice to see the people behind the scenes!!! I'm 69 now but I remember super car!!! It was a fascinating program that I loved to see!!! What year were these interviews done?? How many of the crew are still around??? Thank you for sharing!!!
Did anyone notice in the black and white film at the beginning the office block in Slough is the same building used in the opening credits of the uk version of the office
Great documentary, but can you upload part 2, please?!
Excellent.
the intros narrators voice is so familiar...
Those Barry gray manuscripts are of great study value to music arrangers and orchestrators. Any way of getting a look at some of them? -cheers
Buckinghamshire? ... Geography was NEVER my strong point, but I've always believed Slough was in Berkshire ... I checked with Alexa, and she confirms, Slough is in Berkshire! ... However, she does have a tendency to talk out of her USB Port!
Slough's exact location aside, I'm glad I grew up in the 60's and 70's, when kids TV was exciting, and when it sparked imagination! ... And before computers and Smartphones took over!
EDIT: I've been using and building computers for 27 years! ... But I dislike Smartphones and people's addiction to them! Although, I do have a Smartphone for "two factor authentication" and snaps and the like.
The boundaries between Buckinghamshire and Berkshire were changed in the 1970's.
@@davidslowhand5172 That would explain it! ... I had a sneaking suspicion of such a thing! ... Frankly, I don't understand WHY they can't just leave places where they are! 🤣
Was Supercar first or Fireball XL5🤔💜
Supercar.
‘Mischievious little eyes’? The word is ‘mischievous’, not ‘mischievious’.
Perfectly common pronunciation of the word in, at least, UK English.
