		The line 'puppets without strings' was a very nasty jibe
	invented by a critic as it sounds clever. It has always been easier to
	criticize something than to praise it, thus you tend to here more from 
	people who don't like it than from those who do (e.g. me). The best form
	of criticism is constructive (though its a bit late now for UFO & 1999).
	The problems with the characters were not that they were 'acting' like 
	puppets, more that their lines were bad (blame the script writer).
		They may appear to be cold and inhuman but this is more
	of an accurate representation of real life than it seems. In
	real life there is normally not a funny side to everything.
