Tugs.

Does anybody else remember the children's television series Tugs? It ran for 13 episodes from 1988-1989 on ITV and was released on good old fashioned VHS. I loved Tugs! It was so much better than children's shows now. The stories were brilliantly written. The voice actors were superb and perfectly suited their characters. The models and sets were fantastically made and had amazing detail. The show even had some special effects like explosions and smoke effects which gave the show a real atmosphere. It was even filmed in the same way that big movies at the time were filmed in. If there is one show that really deserves to be brought back, it is Tugs.

Fortunately, Tugs is being brought back! Unfortunately it isn't with models, because this is non-profit and fan made, so obviously there isn't a budget. Tugs CGI will be made, well, using CGI. I'm looking forward to it, being the big kid that I am. Google Tugs CGI to find out more and good luck to these guys taking it on!

In the mean time, go on YouTube and search Tugs to catch up on the episodes. You will enjoy.
