Filmed in Supermarionation

This 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  or on DVD.

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).
