Okay, that was pretty dead-on, if a bit overlong.

Of course, the point for some of us as kids was that it looked like a show that was done with toys and action figures, which was what we did every day!

Of course, on each of Gerry Anderson's series the puppetry got more and more sophisticated and they looked more realistic. By the time that he got to Space: 1999 they looked pretty darned real, although the acting was still wooden.

(Props to Geck for that one)

They only missed two things that I was hoping I'd see in it.

* Gigantic, stubby looking cigarettes.

* A sudden insert shot of a real human hand doing something intricate.

But the facial expressions and movements were perfection. Great eyebrow work.

I just watched the whole thing, watching to see if they blink. About the only one who ever does is Lady Dorothy, and that's done in character. Awesome.
