ITV have revealed the Lady Penelope and Parker characters for the new Thunderbirds Are Go, as well as a tantalising glimpse of the new FAB 1 which, thankfully does look like a Rolls Royce.
And, it's also been revealed that Sylvia Anderson, who voiced Lady P in the original series is penned in as a guest voice artist on the reboot as Penelope's great aunt Sylvia, in an episode written by comedian David Baddiel.
Another reveal was a rather hip-looking Brains.
So things are still looking good for the new series, especially the new FAB 1, which I'm looking forward to seeing in more detail in the coming days and weeks.
Parker's looking pretty dapper there!
ReplyDeleteLoved Parker....especially when he was being a bit of a slob, with a fag and his shirt undone.
"Just a little bit over to the right, old son"...boom!
Looking very exciting, they seem to have gauged the mix between classic and contemporary really well. I may have to buy a Fab1 as weĺl now!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think they look fairly reasonable for the reboot (not sure about the Pug in the tee shirt, though!)
ReplyDeleteLike you say, eviled, Parker was a popular character and well remembered, and yes, Bill, you and I both will be buying a FAB 1! : D
Not sure who approved the ginormous forehead on Brains there, kind of a cliche look that stands out like a sore thumb given the realism of the other designs. His head is shaped like the original Hood's imo.
ReplyDeleteLady P looks smashing, nice update. Parker looks FAB. A nice tribute to the original look. The pug needs to go.
