At the time of writing, around £4000 ($6242) is needed to get the next episode under way, and another 22 days are still on the clock. The stretch-goals will help the other two episodes. With the help of a Kickstarter that began on the 9th of July The Abominable Snowman will now be brought to life in a backer exclusive DVD, in a mere five days from launch! In addition to the 32 episodes aired on television, and two feature films three episodes were recorded by the original cast for radio broadcast, but never turned into the Supermarionation style: The Abominable Snowman, Introducing The Thunderbirds, and The Stately Home Robberies. How to celebrate such a milestone in the lifetime of a legend? September the 30th of this year will be the 50th anniversary of Thunderbirds, originally aired in 1965.
