Hello All,
Has anyone here on Gateworld been watching or has caught the new series/reboot of Thunderbirds titled 'Thunderbirds Are Go!' airing on CITV here in the UK?
The series is now four episodes into its run and I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts or feelings about it.
When I heard about a 'reboot' I was initially skeptical about it. And worried that they would ruin a childhood favourite. I caught the premier on the repeat showing and I was impressed with the insider nods and in jokes to the original series and other Gerry Anderson series.
The reimagined Thunderbirds are also pleasing, in my opinion, to the eye. Thunderbird 2's folding wings answering a problem that was raised in the 'original' version.
But my only complaint, so far, is that they have changed the theme tune from something instantly recognisable. To... Well lets say I don't like it. I would have prefered an up tempo version of Barry Gray's original.
So does anyone else have any thoughts? If so please share them.
