At first I thought they were CGI puppets but I am not so sure now as The Hood looks like a real puppet. Maybe they have been scanned into a CGI background or something... What do you think?

And it's suprising the advert doesn't feature Brains, what with those glasses of his.

They do look like real puppets to me, and The Hood is a dead ringer for the original, although the one thats supposed to be Virgil looks more like a hybrid of Virg and Scott. I imagine with today's technology its quite easy to combine puppetry and CGI, although I confess to having no expertise in the area whatsoever!

Of course, it is so gratifying to see one's deadly enemies get their comeuppance as well. I can assure you, he was not a very nice man, at all... don't waste any tears on his demise, however violent.
It is also so much fun to see one's old friends on the television.
I must say, entre nous, I thought Virgil was looking rather dishy in his new spectacles. I must dig out his phone number and see if he'd like to pop over for a quick visit.... he can land his helicopter on my lawn any day...

Oh did you notice the jet packs? They're like the ones used in Captain Scarlet and The Mysterons.
