The Tomorrow People. ==================
Series 4 part 1. ----------------------
I remembered the earlier shows, probably from 1973 when it first aired through to 1979 when it initially ended. Watching it again on DVD was very very enjoyable and to be honest quite refreshing. It was at the time an imaginative program and held a 70's quaintness. Remembered nothing of the second incarnation of the show, 1992 - 1995 and again nothing of the third reinvented show from 2001 - 2007.
You follow some rare talented humans as they 'Break out' and change from normal humans to the next stage in human evolution. They have abilities such as telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation.
They have adventures inventing new technologies and fighting evil villains on this planet and from other galaxies. There are a few surprises along the way.
1973 - 1979 Series
Series 4 - 1975 - 1976 =================
Episode 1: One Law: Part 1 Another ‘Break out’ Telepath is discovered but not before he is spotted by some ruthless villains.
Episode 2: One Law: Part 2 Blackmail and law breaking as the tomorrow people are forced to take the law into their own hands.
Episode 3: One Law: Part 3 An uneasy truce is called between the tomorrow people and a new bad guy as they are unable to trick or catch him in one of their traps.
Only 3 episodes on this single disc and runs for 70 minutes.
The show was a kids fun Sci-Fi show but later series tried to move to a more teenage and even an adult viewing audience, it never really worked.
The plots to each show are quite good and move along at a fair pace. The dialogue however at times is not too good and in places awful. The science would not stand up to scrutiny today but at the time it was fun stuff. The actors all gave great performances and held the show together and the plot lines where also pretty good, if not great.
All in all worth a watch and worth it for the nostalgia alone. A fun Sci-Fi romp that you will smile at whilst watching.
Recommended.
