Sounds like were both talking about different projects.

For the one Gerry's working on with Carlton they have Ed Bishop and
Francis Matthews providing the voices of Blue and Scarlet (and Gary
Martin attempting The Mysterons). They have been modelled from
cyber-scans of new moulds of the puppet heads, and the uniforms have
been updated to look a bit more functional (the caps have the
drop-down microphone, as in the original, not a head-up display).

There were no shots of any of the Angels, although an Interceptor is
seen flying. The SPV and SPC are both in it, and have been designed
much to the spirit of the originals.

I can't remember much about the music, which probably means it fits
in
well!

That's about all I can remember about the screening I went to (even
though we asked to see it three times!!).
