This second one is a Documentary on the career of Gerry Anderson:
And finally, the 1968 theatrical movie, “Thunderbird 6”:

Also, you probably have noticed the Tracy brothers answering with F.A.B. In case you’re wondering what that means, here is what the Urban Dictionary has to say:
“FAB from the TV show “Thunderbirds” stood for “Full Acknowledgement of Broadcast.” Gerry Anderson, the producer of “Thunderbirds,” was known for these obscure catch phrases. In another series “Captain Scarlet” he usied (sic) SIG which stood for “Spectrum Is Green” They both meant roughly,” ten-four”, “I copy” and “roger that.”
Jeff Tracy: “Scott set up a perimeter so Virgil can put down Thunderbird 2”
Scott: “F A B”
Scott: “F A B”
Colonel White: “All units return to base.”
Captain Scarlett: “S I G”
Captain Scarlett: “S I G”
