Thunderbirds are go!!!!

[Newportnobby]

Will there be any others like me tuning in to see what the new Thunderbirds will be like on Saturday evening? Let's hope it's F.A.B.
(CITV 5pm)

From what I've seen so far they have ruined it! I hope I am wrong!

Ah - but the question was whether you'll tune in to find out.
I saw Sylvia Anderson on the BBC morning news the other day and she gave it the OK.

Are the strings still visible ?

I will tune in to see. Just seen a few snippets, one thing i don't like, they have spoilt the theme music. If it's not broke, why fix it?

Captain Scarlet was my favourite programme. I didn't really enjoy the CGI version and gave up on it quite quickly - it just didn't seem to have the atmosphere of the puppet version.

Hope the new Thunderbirds is a success though

Bit like Thomas the Tank Engine, when it went in cartoon mode it lost all its magic, filming the running of actual model locos was ten time better that the apology it is now.

Was in the UK on business this week and saw some of the hype on TV. I am stunned and excited that the original guy who did the voice of Parker is reprising his role in the new version. Not bad for an 89 year old!

Good on him, or as Lady Penelope would say "Well done Parker"

And for the aficionados...

Thunderbirds and Dads Army on TV on a Saturday night. All we need is Basil Brush and a double bill of Tom and Jerry to complete the line up...

Progress huh?   

[guest311]

better than most of the 'reality' or 'talent' stuff that's on there normally.

add a double bill of Porridge and that wouldn't be too bad, with a few drams

Didn't get the Thunderbirds thing when I was younger.  I watched Captain Scarlet, Stingray, Joe 90 (my nickname for years was Joe 90 ) and Terrahawks. Love each of them dearly but if anyone tried to make a computer re-run I'd not watch now.

I don't want them to re-make anything these days.  There's so many channels full of repeats, some repeat same time in 2 to 3 hrs -why not fill the space with re-runs of proper shows, the choice must be endless!

Must admit as a Naval Architect I did like this...

I didn't bother to watch the show, but if anyone saw it, was it any good?

It's going to be dubbed into Welsh.
