In this abbreviated presentation of the Thunderbirds episode "Vault of Death" we present a visual representation of the 1960s vinyl mini-album, which cut the episode down to a brisk pace.
In this specially prepared edit with newly filmed material, Lady Penelope (Sylvia Anderson) recounts the story of how she and Parker race to save a life at the Bank of England.
During the 1960s, the soundtracks of select episodes of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Thunderbirds were abbreviated and then supplemented with new in-character narration for release on a series of vinyl mini-albums. In recent years, new visuals were created by members of our team in order to bring this shortened, but no less exciting, version of the episode to life. What differences can you spot?
