Filmed in Supermarionation
Monday, April 27, 2020 at 9:15PMThis video documentary is the story of Supermarionation, Gerry Anderson's puppetry behind Thunderbirds and other series, which in the 1960s sparked my interest in technology and instrumentation as a boy. View on Amazon (free on Amazon Prime at the time of writing).
It also reveals the location of the early Century 21 TV studios on a trading estate in Slough. It's now a tyre depot.
Just around the block (on Leigh Street) was the opening shot location of the BBC TV series with Ricky Gervais, The Office, according to Find that Location. It's since been demolished (opening titles: YouTube).
