The arrival of Supercar on television screens in 1961 heralded the dawn of a new era of action-packed and science-fuelled Supermarionation cult classics that would go on to include Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, and more. Gerry Anderson, Sylvia Anderson, and their team of artists and technicians on the Slough Trading Estate banded together the create a series the likes of which had never been seen and in the process achieved global success.

About Us:

About Me:
Century 21 Films Ltd is a multi-faceted production company whose work spans drama to documentary, miniature effects to puppet shows. It was founded by a group of filmmakers who first collaborated on Filmed in Supermarionation, the story of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's hit puppet shows including Thunderbirds, Stingray and Captain Scarlet.

Since then, we have worked for a multitude of high-profile clients including ITV, BBC, Mammoth Productions, British Film Institute and the Halifax working on projects such Thunderbirds, Endeavour, Doctor Who and The Twilight Zone.

In addition to our regular filmmaking services, we specialise in ‘Supermarionation’ - the puppetry filming technique used to make shows like Thunderbirds and have collaborated with ITV repeatedly to provide specialised services. Our work has been featured on The One Show, This Morning, Good Morning Britain, BBC News, ITV News and Mastermind.
