Film cans containing unseen footage of the Thunderbirds TV show have been found in a garden shed.
A family found the cans - light-tight containers used to enclose film - in a Buckinghamshire shed belonging to their father, who was an editor on the show and died recently.
Stephen La Rivière, from Century 21 Films which received the 22 old cans, said they mainly contained Thunderbirds material from the 1960s, including an alternative version of an episode that was never broadcast.
It is hoped the footage - filmed on the Slough Trading Estate in Berkshire - can be shown to the public as part of the series’ 60th anniversary next year.

Exciting to hear! Check your sheds, everyone- they all seem to be full of vintage film treasures and mint supercars. ;)
Mine is mostly cobwebs and lacewing corpses. I wonder if they’re worth anything.
Three fiddy. Final offer.
This needs to all be posted online. What a treasure!
F.A.B.
Are we still doing ‘Username checks out’?
I’ve been watching a lot of old shows from Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, and I can say out of all of them, Thunderbirds might be the most entertaining. Captain Scarlet is alright, but the more realistic puppets don’t make up for the snails pace of the episodes. Fireball XL5 is okay, but it’s super primitive compared to Thunderbirds. Parker is still my dude.
