Will you be watching the new THUNDERBIRDS?

[El Presidente]

Without doubt the greatest program of my childhood, I knew the plots to every episode inside out. The trailers look a bit AMERICAN to me, and I suspect the new series isn't aimed at my age group, but I can see me sneaking a quick peek before claiming that it's an OUTRAGE compared to the original.

You can't see the strings so I'm not giving it a chance - BOOOOOOOOOOOO

I shall be reserving judgement until I have seen how hot Lady Penelope is looking.


That's perfectly normal, right?

That's normally a good thing though if you pull a bird on a Satdi night.

 

[brakespear]

never liked it when I was young (or any of the Gerry Anderson stuff really) so probably not.

ONLY if you can't prise apart the pages of the Grattan's catalogue lingerie section.

CGI and american, it will be shithouse. but a new generation will lap it up.

my real issue is why cant they think of anything new?

IMDB says Rosamund Pyke is doing the voice, but as it's a cartoon you won't be seeing her - a bit like Cameron Diaz doing the voice of Princess Fiona in Shrek

Hello boys

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Im a grown man so its a no from me

When is it on and what channel? Media says the trailer was released 24 hours before the first show is aired, but I couldn't find it in the tv listings for tomorrow.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

I thought the acting in the original series was a bit wooden.

Yep.

Thunderbirds when I was a kid was the nuts. Things have moved on now - both my sons have tried watching a couple of stories from the original series but compared to newer stuff, the stories are too slow and they get bored. So as long as the stories move quickly, it should be good. As long as it is better than that hopeless film they made.

He deserved that, didn't he dad?

Every episode, without fail, when The Hood 'died', I would hear these words from my then 4 or 5 year old son.
