A house inspired by the TV puppet show Thunderbirds and its Tracy Island base has gone on sale for �4m.

The futuristic house, in Poole, Dorset, has been built by Thunderbirds fan Eddie Mitchell to resemble the home of International Rescue.

Mr Mitchell, a local developer, gained inspiration for the blue glass and blue-fronted property in Branksome Park from the recent Thunderbirds film.

Everything in the hi-tech house is operated by an electronic keypad.

Mr Mitchell said: "We set about designing a property which resembled the house on Tracy Island in the film and also a bird.

"I used to watch Thunderbirds as a child and it was a great programme, very advanced for its time."
