READING:

There is new material of the TV show 'Thunderbirds'. Twenty-two cans of film of the show have been found at a house near London. The house belonged to an editor of Thunderbirds who died recently. The old video footage was given to the TV company Century 21 Films. A Century 21 spokesperson said the newly found film contains material that has been unseen since the 1960s. Century 21 said his company would restore the film using digital technology. He hopes people can see the new material in time for the 60th anniversary next year.

Thunderbirds was a big hit in the 1960s. It is now a cult classic. The show was created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. They used a technique called Supermarionation to make the shows. This used puppets, special effects and futuristic-looking models. Thunderbirds was filmed between 1964 and 1966. There were two series, with 32 fifty-minute episodes. The show was set in the 2060s. It was about a life-saving organization called International Rescue. The show is famous for its dramatic music and its Thunderbirds spacecraft and machines.
