What type of program do you think the Andersons did best, live action, that is UFO or Space 1999, or marionation, ie, Thunderbirds, Stingray etc?
Although I liked their live action series, I think that the Andersons were better at marination, after all, they spent many years developing their techniques and they had it down to a fine art. It is because of this that I feel they didn't have the necessary skills needed to make the move into live action - after all, working with people and full size sets is very different to working with puppets and miniature sets. The main problem I found with their live action programs was that they tended to look like all their other shows, except they had real actors instead of artificial ones. I think that with a bit more experience they would have been able to overcome this problem, but since it is unlikely that they will be doing any more live action shows I guess we'll never know.
