of Big Ben, the Tower Bridge,
1:10:10
the London Eye, the Thames, Jubilee Gardens,
1:10:13
Westminster Abbey,
1:10:15
is a wonderful location.

Shot of the teddy bear stolen from Spielberg.
1:10:21
The idea of placing
this third act set piece in London

1:10:28
was one of the motivating factors
for Tim and Working Title,

1:10:32
in that making Thunderbirds in England
was a no-brainer

1:10:35
but to actually use London as a set
1:10:39
so that the audience in England
would appreciate it

1:10:42
but also a part of London
that is known all over the world.

1:10:47
This is all computer generated,
those extended arms from Thunderbird 4.

I think this water sequence coming up, I love this.

She was wonderful in this.

That's her stunt double.
1:11:03
There's a double,
then in a tank in north London for this.

1:11:07
Here's a combination - stunt double, actress,
1:11:14
CG water out the window, CG air bubbles.
1:11:18
The stanchion was in the pit in north London.
1:11:21
Thunderbird 4 as an exterior never existed,
1:11:24
all we had was that cockpit
that the two kids lie in.

1:11:28
These bubbles
were added in postproduction.

1:11:35
Vanessa was a real trouper,
1:11:37
as was her stunt double,
to do this stuff in the tank.

1:11:40
But you really get a sense
that you are underwater

1:11:43
and one of the things that helps to sell it
is the wavy motion of the solid images

1:11:49
that you feel when
you open your eyes underwater,

1:11:53
things seem to float.
