Bort Not that I'm going to accuse "Thunderbirds" of a tremendous level of quality, but the show was always at its best when they were sitting in their various craft, pulling trucks out of ravines or whatever. But any time the SuperMarionettes were required to move a lot, it got pretty bad pretty quickly.
Here's a clip from another episode ... beautiful sets, but please stop trying to do action sequences with puppets.

Old_Zircon Pretty much any time they're actually used like marionettes instead of ventriloquist dummies in cars it's a mess.
Old_Zircon On the other hand, they do action better than the live actors in Rocky Jones: Space Ranger, for what that's worth.
Caminante Nocturno There's nothing sadder than a marionette when it's trying to run.
