Fw: [SHADO] Re: Gerry Anderson to make new TV series of Thunderbirds

I remember not being particularly impressed with "Terrahawks." The old Gerry
Anderson stuff was of its time and I honestly don't believe the past can ever be
recaptured, no matter how much money, time, effort or CGI you throw into it!!

I really hope, in a perverse way, that this doesn't come off. The essence of
Thunderbirds was the jerky puppets, the superb machines ( I still love
Crablogger!!), the sheer delight in a programme that was innocent and exciting
and fun. A modern remake? I don't see how it can work.

If it's CGI it won't, it CAN'T be Thunderbirds.

And if it is live action? Well they have been there, done that..... and the
horror of the film will override any tv series.


Puppets? I think that Team America put paid to that idea.!

I would LOVE to see Thunderbirds return.. but I think that whatever happens,
however they make it, it will never ever have that 'magic' of the original
series.


Perhaps I am a pessimist. I really want the UFO film to be made, but there is a
world of difference between remaking a programme that had actors, and
reinventing such an iconic series as Thunderbirds.

My opinion only though. ( And I hope I am proved wrong)
