Thunderbirds

Connecting the digital and viewing experience

Thunderbirds Are Go is a science fiction TV programme produced by ITV.  It is a remake of the series Thunderbirds which follows the exploits of International Rescue, a rescue organisation run by the Tracy family out of their secret island base in the Pacific Ocean.

The website we built for Thunderbirds aimed to enhance the viewing experience of the popular television show by allowing users to sign up as recruits and participate in games and challenges that reflect the themes of each episode.
