Reading Jason's note over in the BOTP ML.
Most of the stuff was experiments, not what they actually intend to do. Trying to mix BOTP personalities and Gatch footage to see if it works. And the NTT commercials, despite what the DVD says, are not examples of the future.
Sounds to me like they needed extras, so they raided the stuff that should have been kept in the room with the test audiences, or sold to the trivia collectors, rather than put out for public view.
Now, you take the Thunderbirds release: twelve DVDs, each with three episodes and an hour documentary -- on the equipment, the marionettes, the science, the special effects, the history, the creator, and not sure what else. Lots of old behind the scenes footage. Interviews with the creators. Not sure if there are new interviews -- haven't seen all the goodies. All the footage cleaned up -- you can see the wires, which may or may not be a good thing, but, to me, it emphasizes that these are puppets, and that the puppeteers are incredibly good. Not a word about the new movie or new owners. No false starts to get our hopes up or dash them. Nothing that should have been left on the cutting room floor being billed as "new". Just a very nice set for someone who remembers them from their youth and wants to share them with their kids and get a bit more information.
