Endeavour
The second episode of the sixth series of ITV’s hit detective drama, Endeavour, sees Morse investigating a murder with links to a film studio that bears a strong resemblance to the one once operated by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson in the 1960s. For the episode, the team from Century 21 Films was called in to bring Moon Rangers – a show within a show that follows in the best tradition of Stingray and Thunderbirds – to life. In addition to drawing upon our extensive archive of Supermarionation items, Century 21 created brand new puppets, costumes, sets, and models for this very special production.
