Welcome to the next stage of human evolution. Not your everyday Homo Sapiens, The Tomorrow People are Homo Superiors, children with amazing powers - here in our world TODAY.
Originally broadcast on ITV from 1973-1979, The Tomorrow People introduced British television viewers to an instant cult classic in Sci-Fi adventuring. Imagine young Stephen's surprise when he learns he is actually one of the Tomorrow People, teenagers with powers of telekinesis, teleportation (called "jaunting"), and telepathy. Headquartered in a secret underground lab and protected by the supercomputer Tim, the Tomorrow People look for the emergence of more of their kind, and battle evil forces from the farthest reaches of space and time.
Thought-provoking, action-packed, and creatively produced, this edition of The Tomorrow People - Set 1 contains all twenty-six episodes from the series' first two seasons, on DVD for the first time:
"Slaves of Jedikiah", Part 1 - Part 5
"The Medusa Strain", Part 1 - Part 4
"Vanishing Earth", Part 1 - Part 4
"The Blue and the Green", Part 1 - Part 5
"A Rift in Time", Part 1 - Part 4
"The Doomsday Men", Part 1 - Part 4
Features:
Commentary with stars Nicholas Young, Peter Vaughn-Clarke, and Sammie Winmill on "The Slaves of Jedikiah"
Cast Biographies
A&E brings this out in conjusction with Thames. This 4-DVD set runs 10 hours, 24 minutes. Cost is $79.95 SRP (CAN$99.95 in Canada), and it's available on May 31, 2005.

Date: 2005-03-14 04:12 pm (UTC)$80 is typical for an A&E set, the fuckers. Fortunately you can usually find them discounted online.
Which episode is Nicholas Lyndhurst in?

Date: 2005-03-14 04:25 pm (UTC)I'm hoping they'll release S2 of Randall & Hopkirk eventually because the UK ones are so spendy too. The price points on A&E stuff is just a nightmare. Apparently their attitude is "well, if you're an elitist who likes weird British shit, we'll make you pay through the nose". I wonder if their own brilliant series like Growing up Gotti or Dog the Bounty Hunter or Intervetion are in the same price ranges. I think they all go well besides multiple Horatio Hornblower episodes and Jane Austen, don't you?
I just looked him up in IMDB to make certain I wasn't imagining him on the show and luckily I wasn't. He was in a 2 parter called "Hitler's Last Secret". I remember watching the series on Nick but have no memory of what it was about. Wasn't Peter Davison in an episode too?

Date: 2005-03-15 12:14 am (UTC)It was...it was right up there with Dr. Who, but then my parents cancelled the cable and I was LOST! And then I never found it again. The Nickelodeon remake in the 90s (or whenever it was) just wasn't IT, you know? Although I watched that one too, sometimes...but then I felt dirty, like I was cheating or something.
