Sorry........no.........not 'Thunderbirds' but you may be closer to the correct answer than you think.You are very perceptive to say they remind you of puppets!!!. Please have another try.
No Dr.Who is now way out!!. You were closer when you said 'Thunderbirds'. Here's some more photos that might help:
Is it... ummmm.... UFO? Never seen it, never heard of it. I just checked the link where your pix were coming from But aside from that, I'm a big Gerry/Sylvia Anderson fan, and I could recognize their style. "Space: 1999" is da bomb.
Yes..........'UFO' ..........you were the first to get it even though you've never seen it before!. 'Space 1999' was another great Anderson sci-fi series.It was actually meant to be 'UFO II' but it was then changed to an entirely new concept. Personally I think 'UFO' is far superior to 'Space 1999'.
Lol!! A good reference to 'Frank Zappa'. Yes the acting was the same scripting style that were used in all Gerry Anderson's previous t.v. series;- which were puppets!!. The series isn't good for the script dialogue but it is good for the storylines. My favourite episode is 'TIMELASH' where time is frozen & an alien-agent with e.s.p. abilities runs amok.Commander Straker & Colonel Lake have to try to stop him.The only problem is that he can read their minds!. - Frozen in time.
I had to resurrect this thread coz I just checked out UFO for the 1st time. What a killer show. Groovin funk-o-ramic tunes, tab collars for the dudes and retro go-go miniskirts for the dudettes, Brits driving on the right side of the road... man, why couldn't the future turn out like that?!
this show scared me as a little kid, well more so SPACE:1999 but not as much as this parody will scare YOU http://www.sexylosers.com/192.html
