 And Thunderbirds! ARGH!!

 I take it you won't be interested in listening to these audio
stories then...

 The original puppet-based Thunderbirds is great and much
better than the modern CGI animated Thunderbirds series with
its Politically Correct silliness.

 My favourite Gerry Anderson show was "Captain Scarlet and the
Mysterons"... the puppet version obviously, I didn't watch any
of the animated remake. (I didn't want to spoil my memories!)
Although I did like the Big Finish audios, but the original
Captain Scarlet show was just brilliant.
 And you'll never guess who my favourite Captain Scarlet
character was... yes folks, Captain Blue! What a man! Better
than Troy Tempest or any of those boring Tracys.
 S.I.G

The original Captain Scarlet series was an okay, although I found it tended to be a bit too strange. Joe 90 was a bit boring (although I've never rewatched, so only saw it as a little kid) as were the older Gerry Anderson shows. Stingray was a bit better, although also had some strange episodes. Thunderbirds was always my favourite of Gerry Anderson's shows. Supercar wasn't bad either.
There was a planned Thunderbirds resurrection to be released in 2005 of the original Thunderbirds using puppets and models, but only a trailer was made <https://youtu.be/pTiy9begunM>. The computer animation series "Thunderbirds Are Go" was made instead - being made by a New Zealand animation company probably partly explains why it wasn't very good.
There is also Firestorm, which was a new Gerry Anderson puppet and models series which looked quite good, but only a couple of minisodes were made before it seemed to stop. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-yhwYMoRfk> <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z77q-Mh80nI>
