tvcentury21.com has an article on the (funded) kickstarter effort produce a new Thunderbirds episode in the classic style:

Documentation producer Stephen La Riviere, the man behind the documentaries "Full Boost Vertical" and "Filmed in Supermarionation" is at it again. This time, its a project to produce filmed versions of the Thunderbird Century 21 EP stories from the 1960s. The basic idea is to retain the audio from the recordings, but film new Thunderbirds footage in the style of the original show. This means puppets and practical effects. Rather than try to fund it himself, or go to a distributor, he has taken the bold move to go directly to the fans and has created a Kickstarter project with the goal of funding the making of the first three EPs as mini-episodes.

    But my dad still showed me old episodes of the show when I was young. I feel like I grew up with that kind of a look to the future.

    There have been several satirical shows come up lately that have ribbed on the puppets, but I kind of hope they keep that old camp. Something about the good old days.
