Oh my God, this is brilliant! :D

Although I'm not sure I could take some kind of new series seriously if it wasn't done with puppets, had invisible strings, and voice actors that at least sounded similar.

Sounds interesting, I wonder how close it'll be to the original series. Recently I came across a Japanese anime version of Thunderbirds (Thunderbirds 2086 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zowhg6l9RUc&feature=related)), which reminds me somewhat of Battle of the Planets.

Heh. Stingray...Terrahawks (anyone seen that?)... I wonder if those will be revisited someday.

Incidentally, I've been watching clips of Star Fleet / X-Bomber, which I had never heard of until a few weeks ago; it seems to have been strongly Gerry Anderson inspired.

Used to watch Starfleet when I was young. I even, embarassingly enough, have the Brian May cover of the theme on an album somewhere :nervous:

Barry Hercules = :cool:

If only I'd watched Star Fleet instead of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

:yes: Brian May has to be one of the best guitarists of the last 40 years. Hold onto that album!
