darthspudius: I just caught up with it with my son, it was quite good. A nice up to date adaptation of the classic series. My son loved every second of it.

The mix between physical models and cgi is pretty cool. Old timers might find it a bit funny though. There are a few changes that might bug some people.

So did anyone else watch it?

Sachys: Nope - found out about it five minutes ago in a similar post elsewhere. What channel was it on - or was it a webisdode type thing?!

darthspudius: It was on ITV.:)

Sachys: Really?! - I didnt think ITV did anything but Xfactor, Corrie, Emmerdale and Midsomer Murders these days! Heheheh!

...oh, and that disappointing series about angels as lawyers in York - that was some odd stuff!

Edit: or was that channel five?!

darthspudius: Hahaha admittedly I do not watch any tv these days. But some Thunderbirds is always worth the time haha.

Sachys: Except when Cliff Richard makes a guest appearence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5zVq0wTNfM

tinyE: I was more of a Captain Scarlett guy but I did watch them both.

Lone3wolf: Well done, that man.

CS was always the better, more dramatic, stories.

But for wholesale, UFO can't be beaten.

Sachys: ...and for sheer weirdness, Terrahawks!!!

Edit: and for those in the UK, heres the show on the ITV player thingy - might work for some in the EU as well?!?!

Lone3wolf: Heh. True. That 0s and Xs game at the end... :D

Sachys: Never could figure out the series - will have to grab it in poundland I reckon!

Lone3wolf: What's to figure? Another "protect the earth from alien invasion!" shtick. It had its moments, especially the Zeroids.

Had more subtle humour going for it, than the other puppet shows
