Aqua Marina was cooler IMHO ... though I thought at the time she should have floated.
Oh marina, forgot all about her!And if course she' could not speak either, perfect woman in our books!
And the gaffer in the chair ( sorry forgot his name!) had massive eye brows and chewed on a great big stogie!

Come on guys!
You are forgetting just how cool the whole process was!
I mean the friggin palm trees folded down to clear the wings as she taxied out for launch!
I am sorry but as a small boy, that was me sold forever, it was the coolest thing I had ever seen!
Of course when captain scarlet and the crew, and his SPV came along, no one could beat that, I mean come on,,they drove the SPV facing backwards looking through a camera system to drive!
Nothing' was ever cooler!
Never really got the facing backwards thing? What's the advantage over facing forwards? Must play havoc with your senses when cornering hard!You are forgetting just how cool the whole process was!

It was all bloody cool...go on get down the charity shop or Amazon and find any copy watch one on the side....pretend you are 7 years old again..haha...I did.
I don't even need to do that in respect of Captain Scarlet and Joe 90, I have both of the collectors full box set editions!I will say though, that whilst I recall just about everyone of the captain scarlet episodes, there are quite a few Joe 90 ones that I had never seen before, so that was a nice surprise.

I have a really good feeling that the new version will be F A B.
Having said that, I thought that about the movie, which was dire.
Thunderbirds could have been so much better back when it was originally made had they access to today's special effects.
Nooooo...part of its charm is the exquisite miniature work. Yes, you could do it more believably in CGI, but would it be *better*?Having said that, I thought that about the movie, which was dire.
