And Kayvan Novak will be Brains

David Baddiel is to write the scripts for the Thunderbirds reboot.

His role in the ITV show was revealed as the first images from Thunderbirds Are Go were released.

The pictures feature engineer Brains, Lady Penelope and her trusty bodyguard and driver, Parker in front of the pink, six-wheeled car FAB1. 

It has also been announced that Kayvan Novak will voice Brains, with Oscar-nominated Rosamund Pike playing Lady Penelope and David Graham reprising his original role as Parker.

Sylvia Anderson - who voiced Lady Penelope in the original 1960s series - will play a new character, Lady Penelope’s Great Aunt Sylvia, in an episode due to air later this year.
