Leading the writing will be Rob Hoege and will be a mix of CGI and live-action (no strings attached this time folks) The new series will air on ITV and CITV (meaning it'll likely be on during weekend mornings where both channels share a simo-cast) in 2015. http://www.nme.com/filmandtv/news/ne...in-2015/295601 |

At least I can say the new show looks as unappealing to me as the original was. My dad loved the original show though.
I thought the main appeal of the show was the puppetry but with that gone it's just another CG show among dozens. They really should've taken a chance at being different and gone with puppetry, it was a risk but could've paid off but now it's not doing anything different. |

I wish it was still puppets, but I can get past that.

I just watched Thunderbirds. I thought it was good. I didn't think the CGI was that good at first but I got used to it.
I thought Lady P looked strange. I didn't realise that Parker's voice actor is the original voice actor. Brains sounded wierd. Spoiler:
The show is going to continue on ITV/CITV every Saturday at 8am now. It's also renewed for season 2 too.

Just caught "Space Race". Mainly focused on Alan and John, with Scott making a fleeting cameo and Virgil not showing up at all (was it him that was screaming off-screen?)
While out clearing space debris, Alan sets off an armed orbital nuke that continuously attempts to latch on to various ships and detonate. Alan has to keep it focused on T3 until the kill code can be found and used. Penelope and Parker breaking into the London archives to acquire the kill code was the light-hearted portion of the story, and it's resolved with, of all things, allowing the administrator (a fan of Penelope) to take photos with her dog! "Grey Ninja" Parker has pretty phenomenal strength for his age, managing to pry open the doors to a lift. |
