redfiona99Which I have now seen 2 episodes of. And enjoyed. I might not like it as much as proper Thunderbirds, but it's great fun.
It has more Gordon, but only because they have turned him into Alan (blond and excitable is Alan's thing). John, meanwhile, is suddenly red-headed.
Other than that minor confusion, everything and everyone else is present and correct. (Except Jeff Tracey who is spoiler).
It's done in a mixture of CGI and models so there's still some solidity to the action. I think it's WETA who have done some of the CGI. There's a distinct NZ twang to several of the actors as well.
And, in the most recent episode, they used bearded lizards to play giant lizards, which made me think of Attack of the Alligators and squee.
It's not perfect, but it's fun.
