Ready for some F.A.B. news? Thunderbirds is coming to streaming!

Yes, in what seems to be the hip new thing, the classic Gerry Anderson 'Supermarionation' series will follow the likes of Doctor Who and Torchwood by live-streaming on Twitch.

In celebration of International Thunderbirds Day on September 30, Shout! Factory TV and ITV Studios are going to stream a 34-hour marathon of all the original episodes.

Plus... you'll get a trio of bonus adventures, in the form of Thunderbirds 1965, three new episodes made in 2015 using vintage audio recordings from the '60s.

The marathon is to mark 50 years of Thunderbirds, which originally launched (pun intended!) on September 30, 1965.

It begins Sunday, September 30 at 7 am PT / 3pm BST on Shout! Factory TV's official Twitch channel, which will also be hosted by the official Gerry Anderson Twitch channel.

All episodes being streamed are presented in a remastered high-definition transfer.

Gerry Anderson's son Jamie Anderson is now developing a new series – Firestorm – based on one of his father's un-produced concepts.
