    Regarding Lady Penelope and Virgil, you'd be hard pressed to find a more sexually charged scene than at the end of The Perils Of Penelope just after Virgil has rescued her. Very rarely have eyes expressed so much. Pure animal lust!:D

    I know what you mean. Even I picked up on that the time and I was only six.

    The real miniature stuff looks absolutely stunning. The character art style and acting is off and not very good.

    There was a quick reference to Stingray as well.:)

    Its ok if they don't stray too much from the original puppets and space craft.

    But that non stop music is getting on my nerves!

    Five minutes was enough for me and had to switch over. Is the 'music' continuously droning away all the time?

    Anyone know who does the 5-4-3-2-1 intro voice? It sounds very much like Peter Dyneley, who voiced the original (and Jeff Tracey IIRC).
    And Parker, who *is* the original, doesn't sound right!:confused:

    And STOP the friggin' music! You can't have non-stop exciting music all the way through! God, somebody tell these amateurs!

    Note to writers....

    if your characters act smug and confident before, during and after danger, there are no stakes.

    Where there are no stakes, there is no Drama.

    Boy, do I miss Fireflash.....

    Agreed! The smug arrogance is so off-putting.

    I just knew they wouldn't be able to recreate the gravitas that made you care about the characters needed for when they are in danger.

    Now if this lot get into danger you just know that their smug arrogance will get them out and you don't care if it doesn't.

    The life has been removed.

    The voice of Parker is the only original voice acting.
    I thing age would have made his voice change, hardly surprising.

    As for the 5-4-3-2-1
    Agree, sounds like the original but that would have been easy to pinch that from the original series.

    Why is everything happening as if there's no tomorrow???

    The launches of T1 and T2 (and the pod selection!) used to be a pleasure to watch. Now they're over with in seconds.

    VERY disappointed.

    And loading and unloading everything is so fast for the attention challenged kiddies whereas in the original it was that slow attention to detail that made it.

    They might have used the original cut of the actor's voice - I'm not sure.

    The voice actor for Parker has aged so maybe that explains the change there.

    DA DA DA! The hood is back and frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

    Who are these arrogant smug people that I should care if they all get blown up in the next episode?

    If you're looking to rescue people you would load something in a hurry - it's logical.

    The big thing of Digital Spy is usually logic and people tend to whine incessantly about a lack of logic on shows. Now there is something logical people are whining about it again.

    Talk about not being able to win.

    Feel sorry for kids today:
    New Thunderbirds = Rubbish
    New Doctor Who = Rubbish
    New Superman = Rubbish
    New Charlie`s Angels = Rubbish
    Mars Bars = Smaller
    TV = Less Boobs

    nothing will beat the thunderbirds original series from the 60s.

    but this show is just fun to watch, gives me an excuse to watch more thunderbirds! :)
