There's a live-action film of
Thunderbirds coming out soon. Wouldn't it be great if in any close-ups of hands they used wooden puppet hands? It won't happen though, there's a limit to how many in-jokes they can put into these nostalgic remakes of old TV programmes because, as Peter Bradshaw points out in his
Guardian review of
Starsky and Hutch, all Hollywood films these days are aimed at children.
