Thunderbirds Are Go is a New Zealand-British science-fiction television programme produced by ITV Studios and Pukeko Pictures. It is a remake of the 1960s television series Thunderbirds created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson[1] and is made using with a combination of scale model miniature effects and CGI created by Weta Workshop. In comparison to the 1960s series, the remake features updated character, vehicle and set designs while retaining many features from the original series.[2]
Set in the year 2060, the series follows the exploits of International Rescue, a life-saving organisation equipped with technologically-advanced rescue crafts for sea, land, air and space rescue; headed by a fleet of five vehicles named the Thunderbirds which launch from Tracy Island, the organisation's secret base in the Pacific Ocean. The main characters are the Tracy brothers; the five sons of ex-astronaut Jeff Tracy who pilot the Thunderbird vehicles.
The first series, consisting of 26 episodes, was broadcast in two halves; the first 13 episodes aired between 4 April–20 June 2015, while the second half aired between 31 October 2015–23 January 2016. A second series of 26 episodes was commissioned in December 2014 for broadcast between late 2016 and early 2017.[3] A third series of 26 episode was commissioned in April 2016 for broadcast in 2017.[4]
Storyline
Set in the year 2060, Thunderbirds Are Go follows the exploits of the Tracy brothers; Scott, John, Virgil, Gordon and Alan, the sons of ex-astronaut Jeff Tracy who form International Rescue (IR), a secret organisation dedicated to saving human lives. They are aided in their missions by technologically advanced vehicles used for land, sea, air and space rescues, which are called into service when conventional rescue techniques prove ineffective. The most important of these are five machines named the Thunderbirds, each piloted by one of the five Tracy brothers:
- Thunderbird 1 – First Response Rocket Plane, piloted by First Responder Scott Tracy
- Thunderbird 2 – Auxiliary Equipment Transporter, piloted by Demolition, Heavy Lifting and Logistics Expert Virgil Tracy
- Thunderbird 3 – Space Rescue Rocket, piloted by Astronaut Alan Tracy
- Thunderbird 4 – Underwater Search and Rescue Mini-Submarine, piloted by Aquanaut Gordon Tracy
- Thunderbird 5 – Communications and Logistics Satellite Hub, manned by Space Command Communicator and Dispatcher John Tracy
Aided by engineer Brains, his robot assistant MAX, the brothers' Grandma and Head of Security Tanusha "Kayo" Kyrano (also pilot of Thunderbird Shadow, a Stealth Jet used for Covert Operations), the Tracy family reside on Tracy Island, their hidden base in the South Pacific Ocean from where they operate.
International Rescue's main adversary is the Hood, a crime lord bent on causing global destruction and seeking control over IR and the Thunderbirds. Secretly the uncle of Kayo Kyrano, the Hood is also responsible for the assumed death of Jeff Tracy after his ship supposedly crashed. Therefore, Jeff is not featured in the series. This leaves eldest brother Scott as the Team Leader.
The organisation also enlists the help of English aristocrate Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward with her chauffeur Aloysius Parker as their London field agent; called upon when a mission requires criminal investigation. Penelope and Parker's primary mode of transport is FAB 1, a six-wheeled limousine fitted with gadgets and weaponry for espionage missions.

Production
The production crew for the show consists of the following members that assist with it:
- Series director - David Scott
- Episode director - Theo Baynton[5]
- Writer - Rob Hoegee
- Executive producers - Estelle Hughes, Giles Ridge, Richard Taylor, and Andrew Smith[6]
- Production designer - Ben Milsom.
- Head of miniatures dept. - Steven Saunders.
- Music composers - Ben and Nick Foster[7]
- Film editor - Anthony Cox[8][9]
Production of each episode for the revamp differs somewhat from that of the original 1960's series. Extensive Hand-made live action model sets are still used. Since the show uses Computer-generated characters rather than puppets for the character creating each episode required a different approach. Production begins with the sets, in which the film crew have to devise the camera setups for the scenes to match with the movement and positions of the CGI characters and craft that would be later imposed upon the filmed footage. This includes any manipulation of the scene to match movements made by CGI characters or craft, such as a character opening a door, or objects being displaced by a thruster, and any special effects used on the set, such as smoke and wind. The sets were designed with a similar method to the original series, including using household objects. For example, the Thunderbird 1 bay of the original series included an orange hand juicer as part of it, and the revamp did the same thing with its version of the bay.
The characters and the titled Thunderbird craft themselves have been created using CGI owing to the understandable budget constraints typical of modern children's programming. All of the CGI sequences to be superimposed onto live footage of the miniature sets are first sketched on paper to work out and detail the sequences. The actual shooting Miniatures are individually '3D scanned' to provide the necessary information for the CGI elements to later be accurately registered within the environments. Computers are then used to roughly model the layout of the CGI elements needed for the sequence. Details are then introduced, such as characters costumes, craft setup, atmospheric particles, flying debris, etc. and are made to follow very closely to the camera layout and movement of set props (such as when Thunderbird 2 is raised into launch position, for example).
The music for the show was given a modern flair, but keeping the very memorable feel of Composer Barry Gray's original score.

Series 2
A second series is currently nearing completion of production, to be broadcast in the 2016–17 television season. The second series will also consist of 26 episodes.[10]
Series 3
A third series that will also consist of 26 episodes has been commissioned and will be aired in 2017.[11]
Reception
Fans and critics reacted very positively to the new series, despite some negative reactions from fans of the original version [12][13][14][15][16] claiming the show was clearly made to attract a new generation of fans instead of appealing to nostalgia. However ITV's decision to air episodes at 8 am (other than the pilot, which aired at 5 pm) sparked a negative fan reaction and was criticized by journalists too, claiming that moving it from the original episode's 5 pm slot would alienate the adult viewership it gained from the first episode, with many also feeling the series could match the success of the BBC revival of Doctor Who in 2005 if kept at its 5 pm slot.[17] Thunderbirds Are Go currently has an 7.3 rating on tv.com[18] and 6.7 on IMDb.[19]
