Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Thunderbirds started 60 years ago today! @gerryanderson.bsky.social

A British show that fired my imagination as a child (but 20 years later). A childhood that stays with me thanks to the Thunderbird 2 replica in my office. 😌

60 years since Thunderbirds aired on British TV! What better way to start the party than by celebrating the show's co-creators Gerry + Sylvia Anderson? Their combined talents brought so much to all aspects of Thunderbirds and created a very special series - as did the incredible team they assembled!
