Thunderbirds Versus The Hood!

Stop Press•Thunderbirds

Thunderbirds Versus The Hood features two action-packed audio adventures adapted from the original comic strips; The Vanishing Ray and Brains is Dead. As the Thunderbirds crew return for new and exciting missions, they once again come up against the villainous Hood (Justin T. Lee).  

Directed by Samuel Clemens, son of the great Brian Clemens, these stories are the closest many fans will have come to a new Thunderbirds adventure for many years, bringing back that Sunday afternoon feeling of settling down to enjoy the latest perilous adventure from the universally loved series. 

Reprising their roles from previous Thunderbirds audio adaptations are Jon Culshaw (as Jeff Tracy and Parker), Genevieve Gaunt (as Lady Penelope), Wayne Forester (as Brains), and Joe Jameson (as Alan Tracy). 

Thunderbirds Versus The Hood is now available to pre-order as a digital download only (for just £9.99) exclusively here. 

The Vanishing Ray adapted by Ben Page 

When Lady Penelope gets a strange new invention in the post, evil nemesis The Hood and MI5 soon come calling…  

And now it's up to her ladyship and the stalwart Parker to solve the mystery of the vanishing ray! 

Brains is Dead adapted by Chris Dale 

International Rescue is rocked by the death of one of their own when Brains is the victim of a seemingly motiveless murder in New York, but before the team have a chance to come to terms with this loss they find themselves facing an all-out attack against Tracy Island.  

Their oldest enemy is about to make his most devastating move against them – and among his new allies is a very familiar face...  

 

Jamie Anderson, son of Gerry Anderson and Managing Director of Anderson Entertainment, said: “I’ve been itching to bring Thunderbirds to the world of audio drama for years, and now, having created a range of audiobooks, this felt like the perfect time to bring some exhilarating Thunderbirds adventures to life. 

“We have such an impressive array of voice talent working across our titles that it made sense to bring them all together for the start of this sensational new range of Thunderbirds stories.” 

Thunderbirds Versus The Hood is now available to pre-order at £9.99 (as a digital download only) from the Big Finish website. This release is also available to pre-order on CD from shop.gerryanderson.co.uk.  

All the above prices include the special pre-order discount and are subject to change after general release.
