She did look a bit like NCS Ochre. I liked the fact they gave her a regional accent, too. It made her sound more down to earth.
Yes..... Landing TB2 on the only London street that wasn't gridlocked was reminiscent of the bloopers in the original series; and hey, barely a (model) car was even dented! In the original Capt Scarlet, there were a couple of episodes where you'd think there was some sort of curfew on because the streets were deserted after 9pm.
I thought this episode was inventive and the dialogue is getting better. And yes, Grandma Tracy is set to be a favourite, I think. We do have to ask ourselves why Virgil needed to take TB2 out when he was on a jaunt with his granny to take tea with Lady P. (but what a good thing he did, eh? )
Only criticism is that while I admire and endorse the idea that heroism involves doing the "right" thing, both for the planet and its people, I rather think the scriptwriters overplay their hand. I don't want to have good old fashioned values rammed down my throat in every sentence. But then I'm not in the age group the message is aimed at and I suppose it could be argued that in today's society, it would be impossible to overstate the importance of a positive influence on an up and coming generation.
But, a request, please? Could we have a villain apart from The Hood?
