I have some contradicting memories:

* Between 1998 and 2005, I was informed that a *Thunderbirds* episode of some sort would be airing. It would be an older episode, but with real actors this time.
* I said I wouldn't watch it.
* I remember an actor in such an episode, but it looked far more like a *Captain Scarlet* character. Very much like Colonel White at his desk.
* This was in the UK, presumably back when everyone only had BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV, Channel Four, and Channel 5.

This gives me my question: Did either Captain Scarlet or Thunderbirds air an episode on UK TV that used real actors between 1998 and 2005? Failing that, did either series, prior to 2005, ever make any television media at all that used real actors?
