I think Gerry Anderson would be proud of that but I'm still concerned about the look of the characters. They look far too cartoonish in that promo image and if its true the reaction to TinTin was so bad they had to rename her into an entirely new character its got me concerned for Penelope and Parker. I notice they are holding off revealing those two until the very last minute which goes to show that if they get those two wrong fans won't be happy.
I think the rename was due to Tintin being trademarked by the Herge estate so they've renamed her. It seems they've beefed up the character giving her a lot more to do than sit and look pretty, making her more on par with Lady Penelope.
This is a new character, the voice actress Christine Finn who was Tintin is deceased and probably retired the character, so Kayo is a new character, however you can see the Tintin influence.

From what I've heard the reason why Tin Tin was replaced or renamed Kayo is because of the Tin Tin Reboot.
Lady Penelope is also a pleasant surprise. I knew she would be styled differently because old Penny was very much a style icon of the 60s. They needed to make her relevant for a 2015 audience and it looks like they succeeded.

I myself tried to use the search function to look for this thread but for some reason it wasn't working.

Not using the music, then it's NOT Thunderbirds, it's some faux facsimile messing with my mind. Get the music back and I might give it a chance.
Hope it does not suffer like the brilliant New Captain Scarlet did..
bad scheduling killed that series
I was under the impression it would be repeated on the main ITV channel as well.
The new Thunderbirds will air on both Citv and ITV.

Absolutely, they even split it in half and aired it within "Ministry of Mayhem" terrible decision.
