It's worth mentioning that the New Zealand company actually doing the combination of model work and CGI is Weta Workshop - aka the Peter Jackson company that did SFX work on The Lord of the Rings!
It's a decent kids series similar in tone to the original, and excellently made. I think ITV missed a trick running it in a kids breakfast block alongside the usual cartoons. I reckon there's definitely adult crossover appeal. Worth checking out if you ever enjoyed Anderson's puppet series from the sixties and seventieth. And if you did enjoy them, there's also a great documentary called Made in Supermarionation that covers the history of these shows. Worth seeking out.
