Oh. My. God. The Tomorrow People is so cracking my shit up. You get the standard money-free late 70s production values, the real-life artifacts that I haven't seen in 30+ years (there's this vacu-plastic perpetual wall calendar with the rubber rings that used to be totally cutting edge, and the antiquated candy bar wrappers, and the trousers...dear God, the trousers!), and stuff that Nickelodeon cut out for time or as unnecessary linkage ("WHERE HAVE THE KIDNAPPERS TAKEN STEPHEN?").

The actors are trying really, really hard.

The first episode has commentary with Sammie Winmill, Nicholas Young, and Peter Vaughan-Clarke. I'm scared to play it.

I need a TP icon.

Were you already old in the 70s? Or is that new?

It ran here in the very early 80s, when I was in college. You bastard.

I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that I was born in the eighties.

It's an A&E set, so the list price is some godawful amount, but I got mine for $20 off Amazon Marketplace.
