Originally buried away on the 'Ministry of Mayhem' ITV kids programme on a Saturday morning, this seems to have had a second life when found by fans of Gerry Anderson's original and other shows.
'Captain Scarlet' was never my favourite of the puppet shows Anderson made, but it had its moments despite my longing for the fun and escapism that the lighter brighter 'Thunderbirds' had.
That's very much the same here. This is fine, it's well-made, and clearly a lot of love has gone into it, but there is a lack of charm in the animation and the characters, which ultimately stops me liking this in the same way as the original 'Thunderbirds' or even 'Thunderbirds Are Go', which was made after Anderson's death and uses very similar techniques.
