Some incredible new material has been discovered almost 60 years after a beloved TV show was famously filmed in our town.
The original Thunderbirds was shot on the trading estate, Slough, in the 60s and has since gathered fame all over the world.
Speaking to Stephen La Riviere, 39, who worked on the 50th anniversary edition for ITV in 2015, he said that they had people involved in that filming who were actually on set in the 60s.
"In 2015 we did three new episodes based on 1960s audio recordings so effectively took these recordings done back then and shot the pictures to go with it," Mr La Riviere said.
"We did this with some of the original crew, in the same building, on the same street in Slough. It was widely covered at the time."
As a result of that, the team working in conjunction with ITV was contacted by the family of someone who worked on the original set in the 60s.
The member of the public contacted the production team and said that they had several film cans in the shed and asked if they were interested in taking a look at them.
"In the last month or so we have been transferring them. Initially, they did not look that interesting, but they're actually a mixed bunch," Mr La Riviere continued.
"Some of the scenes were what we have seen on TV but some were new and had never been broadcasted. This is the first new bit of Thunderbirds that has turned up in the last 60 years."
He went on to say that the production team is already in discussions on what they could do with this new material prior to the 60th anniversary of the filming which will be in 2025.
"The first issue is the quality of the material. The can with the most interesting footage is the one that is naturally in the worst condition," Mr La Riviere said.
"It had been completely eaten through and film does not do well when it is exposed to the elements."
The team now plans to restore the footage so that it can be used for a further production for the upcoming anniversary.
The production will be shown via ITV who own the series. Any released material will be in conjunction with ITV.
The team would also like to reach out to anyone who may have any other archival material from the previously destroyed Thunderbirds set in the 60s.
