I donā€™t actually mind New Captain Scarlet. It does look a bit dated nowadays but itā€™s an interesting watch.

@AlexCorbin the thin edge of the wedge with Thunderbirds was when they started removing scenes where the characters were smoking, ignoring the fact it was made in the 60s. Iā€™ve got my 40th Anniversary DVD set, so I can watch the proper ones all the time. Attack of the Alligators - loved it as a child and still do.

@Giminion new wonā€™t mean good or better, look at the new so called Thunderbirds. I lasted 2 minutes during the RWC when it was on prior to a game. I saw Thunderbirds, thought great, not soā€¦

Thatā€™s the name of it. Itā€™s actually 14 years old.

I would hardly call it newā€¦ 2004.
Gerry Anderson was still alive and produced it.
Itā€™s not too bad, actually maintains the integrity of the original show. But the modern fast paced nature of tv, precludes effective story telling.
A couple of the episodes are up there with the originals though.

Now as for Thunderbirds Are Go (TAG) what the literal have they done to my favourite tv showā€¦ why do we need a Thunderbird Shadow, where the heck is Jeff and why do the Tracey brothers not use their guns anymore.

ā€œIts Thunderbirds Jim, but not as we know itā€

Yes Iā€™m a geek + Nerd.
So sue me.

Now tell us your thoughts on the movie.

1224

The Jonathan Frakes abortion I assume.you mean? Giving it, its correct title.

1225

Oh no, I didnā€™t know he did it. I thought I liked Frakes.

1226

ā€¦Not as we know it, not as we know it. Itā€™s Thunderbirds Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it Jim?

After my drive home this afternoon (and changing tack slightly): people dawdling in a lane of the motorway other than the left lane when there is nothing in front of them.

1228

You mean, it isnā€™t every time you venture onto a motorway?

Well yes, but Friday afternoon on the M40 always seems that little bit worse.

1230

Why not just pass them, if there is room, on the inside lane(s).

1231

I do. At 70.
