Thunderbirds 4K Restoration Double Bill: Atlantic Inferno + Attack of the Alligators

Thunderbirds is coming to the Weymouth Pavilion on Saturday 5 December, with a double bill of two of the show's most iconic episodes. Atlantic Inferno and Attack of the Alligators both run for 50 minutes, so you're looking at a good hour and forty minutes in total across the two. Both are rated U, which makes it an easy one to bring the kids along to.

The big draw here is the restoration. Both episodes are being shown in 4K UHD, restored from the best surviving film elements in collaboration with award-winning restoration experts. It's a worldwide debut in 4K, so this is the first time they've been seen in this detail. On the audio side, you've got the original mono and a newly remixed 5.1 surround sound to choose from.

At the heart of it all is Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation, the technique that gave the show its distinctive look and feel when it first arrived in 1966. The voices you'll hear are Sylvia Anderson, Peter Dyneley, David Graham, Shane Rimmer and Matt Zimmerman, and the episodes were directed by Desmond Saunders and David Lane. The pairing follows the success of the 2025 Thunderbirds theatrical double bill, so it's part of a wider return to the big screen.

It's a morning session in the Main Auditorium, starting at 11am, and tickets are £5. With both episodes running for 50 minutes, you'll be out well before lunchtime.
