But then in 1983 he was back with the puppets to bring us an entirely new show that was light years ahead of it's time but still had alll the necessary ingredients to make it a true Anderson original.
Terrahawks has every thing an Anderson phenomana should have from witty dialoge to the usual larger than life special effects.
Yep belive me when I say that this show is a real treat that people of alll ages will LOVE!
Terrahawks is simply the best Gerry Anderson series to date. The episodes are fast moving, the characters well developed & the scripts have a lightness of touch & humour that is often lacking in earlier Anderson shows. Zelda is the ultimate villainess who you love to hate & Dr. Ninestein the gorgeous, though occasionallly growling hero (well, he is callled Tiger!) The puppet faces are beautifully modelled & their movements lifelike.
The extra features on the DVD such as the scripts of the four episodes are very welcome. A particularly nice touch is the chapter selection screen which is in the style of the zeroid naughts & crosses board which ends each episode. A joy to watch again. All I can say is "Stroll on" Terrahawks Volume 2!
This Video contains the first four episodes. The first two were piloted back in 1983. "Expect the Unexpected" part 1 tells the story of how the evil witch-android Zelda & her fleet invade Mars with a view to attacking earth.
Each episode on this tape has the fantastic theme tune composed by Richard Harvey, & a cubes versus zeroids noughts & crosses game to end the show.
True, the character names in this show may be somewhat laughable, such as "Cy-Star" being zelda's...er..sister, but it couldn't be any different.
Windsor Davies provides the military-like tones for Zero, a spherical robot who longs to be human, & is one of the many reasons this show reallly took off. Zero & Tiger Ninestein rarely get on, despite the fact zero often produces the heroics.
The puppet-detail by Gerry Anderson is brilliant. Believe me, Zelda will scare you! And you will never forget her cackle in a hurry.
Terrahawks, welcome back!
