of re-edited versions of two TV episodes. The Anniversary Episodes In 2015, to mark Thunderbirds 50th anniversary, ITV commissioned Pod 4 Films to produce a mini-series of new episodes based on the original audio stories from the 1960s. Funding was raised through Kickstarter and the production team included some of the original Thunderbirds crew. The adaptation of "The Stately Homes Robberies" was directed by David Elliott, making it his first new episode of Thunderbirds in 49 years. The mini-series had a premiere screening at the BFI Southbank in 2016 and was subsequently released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc to its Kickstarter backers. Titled The Anniversary Episodes, it was added to BritBox in 2020.
