This is from today's New Zealand Herald newspaper (6 October, 2014) ...
it says "new image*s*", but there's only one with the story and no link
to any more.
Thunderbirds are Go! is due to hit television screens next year
---------------------------------------------------------------
New images from the New Zealand-made animated revival of the
classic 1960s sci-fi show Thunderbirds have been revealed.

The cult show is set to appeal to a new generation, with a
21st-century version making a return to the small screen in
time for the show's 50th anniversary next September.
The remake is a co-production between ITV Studios and Pukeko
Pictures in association with Weta Workshop, which did the
design work on rocket Thunderbird 1 and the other Thunderbirds.
Pukeko is a children's television company set up by Weta
Workshop boss Sir Richard Taylor, his partner Tania Rodger
and writer Martin Baynton. Its previous productions have
included The WotWots and Jane and the Dragon.
Unlike the original Thunderbirds, which featured puppet
characters using Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's "Supermarionation"
techniques, the new Thunderbirds series will use CGI animation
and live-action model sets.
Among those voicing the characters are Gone Girl star Rosamund
Pike as Lady Penelope, David Graham, the original voice of
Parker, and Game of Thrones star Thomas Brodie-Sangster
voicing John, one of the five Tracy brothers who make up the
team at International Rescue
Thunderbirds are Go! is due to hit television screens next
year.
Executive producer Giles Ridge said that making the new show
was like "handling the family silver".
"We, like many people, are fans of the original series, so
that adds its own kind of pressure.
"I'm delighted to say that when we've shown it to people, it
has raised a few eyebrows. It's a long process."
Thunderbirds was last revived in 2004 with a live action
children's movie which bombed at the box office.
