wow This has brought back some serious childhood memories and some serious emotions too . I am almost 43 now. As a young lad I used to watch this faithfully . I had it bad ( and I mean REALLY REALLY BAD ) For the Japanese girl (Hsui) . Guess she ll be an old lady now x lol x.
this series was well ahead of it's time in the 70's and remember it well when it screened before my dinner time with my parents, love to get the whole complete series of it but not much luck here in New Zealand, unless someone does know where and who has released it for sale? thanks for posting this here on youtube jelliclekat and just wondering where all the cast from the series are doing now?
@kaiata1 You are more than welcome & thank you for watching & commenting. The best place to find out information on the cast is on the Facebook group or the Tomorrow People Discussion Board (TPDIS) it’s an email group. I know that Nick Young still acts a little &owns a talent agency, Peter Vaughn Clarke is a lighting designer, Mike Holoway is still on the stage & the rest I’m a bit fuzzy on. As to finding a copy of the show try Mike’s Comics online.
@walsallmatt How cool to meet Sammie Winmill! Lucky you, I love the first season of the Tomorrow People, I am always watching The Medusa Strain on DVD, I think she is wonderful! :)
The opening scene was hard core cycadelic seventies.......truly freaky. It was a bit much for me at the age of 6........spent most of this series behind the sofa.
These were the days before British television started buying mountains of cheap mindless crap from the US. More creative and generally more interesting, I pity teenagers today..
I loved this show when I was young. Anyone remember "whistling for your dinner?" I can still hear the whistling in my head. It's no wonder I love Doctor Who as an adult.
@Davewise1965 yesi used to love this i was born in 1965 the 70s were brilliant i want to go back when life and and people were terriffic and it was safe to go out at nights and never worried about being bomb up on london transport.
@Davewise1965 I was born in '67 and I LOVED this show !!! I had forgotten what the show was called. The only real thing that I had remembered about it was the episode The Hearts of Soggath. I looked under that name and was reunited with The Tomorrow People.
The weird music intro made me remember watching this show when I was a kid in the 1970's. I love British Sci-Fi! My all time favorite is Space: 1999 (Season 2) with Maya
does anybody know the name of the acress with the long brown hair,that comes after the blonde haired one at 1:07?.i seem to remember her character,and organisataion, were against the tomorrow people
Wow! I remember watching the Tomorrow People when I was 7 in England. Never really forgot it and the theme music has bought back so many memories. Thanks for the vid!
Remember this from when i was about 6 years old, The first tomorrow person you see in this film used to remind me of Les McKeown of The Bay City Rollers, the fourth one reminded me of David Cassidy. I think that's why they got the part to appeal to teenage girls
Nice clips, thankyou! Looking for the Tomorrow people episode where coloured balloons are the enemy! Very vague memories as I was only a tot at the time! Any ideas?
I was wide awake one night last week, and for some reason, the creepy theme tune and the pictures from the titles came flooding into mind, as clear as day. I hadn't given this show a thought for over thirty years! It was one of my earliest televison memories and my friends and I were hooked. I remember Elizabeth and Stephen more clearly than the others. Those jaunt belts were so cool! Erm...I'm not suddenly "breaking out" at the tender age of 42, am I? ;-)
Believe it or not, I was wide awake one night last week, couldn't sleep. For some reason, the creepy theme tune and some of the images from the titles came into mind, as clear as day. For over thirty years, I hadn't given this show a thought. During the next hour or so, I seemed to remember some of the scenes from the show, and remembering as an eight or nine year old how excited I was with this show. Elizabeth and Stephen were the characters I remember most clearly, and those jaunt belts!
I remember this show. It was the first time I had seen the concept of suicide after a story on the show where someone threw themselves out of a window. I just couldn't understand it and had to ask my mum.
I used to love their jaunt belts! Where can I get one?!
@CrueLoaf You're most likely thinking of Pavla Vlasova, the russian telepath, from later in the series, working for the KGB; Mike , John, & Liz learned that all KGB agents during training had small explosives inserted in them via surgery and detonated by remote if they think secrets are revealed. Mike attempted to help Pavla, but she knocked him out and jumped out of a window just before the device exploded , killing her.
I watched this show all the time when I was a kid but what's funny is the thing I remember most was the "Thames" logo before the show started, which I thought for years was supposed to rhyme with "James" and start with a "thuh" sound.
Great trip down memory lane! Would you be able to go back through and name them all? Like when they show John, you have his name on his pic so you know it's John you're looking at, etc? They all look familiar, but I don't remember their names!! :(
The names are on the side with the discription. I did my best to but them in the order they are in the video. If you'd like a better list just email me and I'll send it to you. :)
It'sa pity, they didn't do a cross-over series with the BBC, back in the seventies,involving a team up with , Dr Who; that would have been worth watching
While they did not do an actual cross-over with Doctor Who, they DID link the show to Doctor Who. In one episode, they had a car parked at the Junk Yard from the first Doctor Who episode and had a Police Man played I think by the same actor who was in that episode and saw the TARDIS dematerialize. He comments "OH NO - NOT AGAIN" when the car teleports. There was also a sequence in space where they almost collide with an off screen "Blue Police Box."
This show pre-dated Nickelodeon. It was a British TV show (independant production, not BBC).
The episodes on youtube - that I have found so far - are WELL into the original UK series (and may have been specialy commissioned by NIcelodeon), despite claiming to be "first series".
thus far, I have been unable to find the ORIGINAL series on Youtube.
Yes, it aired on ITV in the UK from 1973-1979 then from 1982-mid 's 1980s on Nickelodeon here in the states. IDK which episodes are here on youtube b/c I don't watch it here, I watch them on DVD. You do know that it's out on DVD right?
bit more info for you it was made by Thames Television for Britain's ITV network. devised by Roger Price which first ran between 1973 and 1979. The show was re-imagined between 1992 and 1995, this time with Roger Price as executive producer. A third incarnation that ran between 2001 and 2007 saw a return to the original conception and characters, but this time produced as a series of audio plays by Nigel Fairs for Big Finish Productions. All three incarnations have been cancelled mid-run.
My friends and I were hooked on this show when it was on Nickelodeon while we were in elementary school. We would each choose what character we wanted to portray and had like our own little club. Pinwheel did absolutely suck! It want to say it ran in the morning for literally three to four hours straight.
lol....i remember the show from the 70s...one in particular...for sum reason...everyone had a choice ov two colours...bad news if u met someone who liked the other colour....wish they would repeat em...
Elgrano, you're definitely not the only American who remembers this show. I used to watch it in syndication on Nickelodeon during the early 80's. It was one of the most interestingly bizarre programs I'd ever seen.
I remember watching this at my Aunt and uncles house. They got Nickelodeon and we didn't. I really didn't care so much about the show itself, but I couldn't get enough of that cool theme music and the opening and closing credits. By the time we finally got Nickelodeon on our cable system, it had already been taken off.
Not only do I remember this I remember a TON of Classic Nickelodeon shows from the 80's. Today's Special, Pinwheel, Kids' Writes, Matt & Jenny, Black Beauty the Special Deliveries and MANY MANY more. In face I've got a Yahoo group called "A New Beginning For Classic Nickelodon" if you're intrested.
Thanks I'll check it out. I remember loving Nickolodeon but HATING pinwheel lol. Yea, it seems that everyone I talk to thinks as if I'm making this show up.
Why is it that these programs from when we were young in the 70s, (if you're of a certain age that is) were so damn creepy... Creepy music, off the wall content... The kids today don't know what proper TV is..... N wonder all us 30 somethings are so stable !! hahahaha
ITV are definately missing a trick here. Surely they can one of their Freeview Channels to retro stuff like this... over 50 years of archive just aching to be seen - and might give TV producers an idea on what real 'telly' is about!
does anyone remember the uk childrens drama series called SKY ( i think) it seemed that nature was always trying to devour this weird guy with weird eyes, does anyone remember or am i losing (mid seventies)
John and Elizabeth were my favorites. I used to watch that show OBSESSIVELY! When Nickelodeon quit showing it I went into withdrawal. Even after all these years, hearing the theme takes me back.
oh i remember it but cant remember a thing about it . must be my age creping up on me lol im 47 now but i did use to rush home from school to see it , ahh them were the days xxxxxxxxx
Ah, never forgot them....me and my best mate were about 12 when this came out and were convinced we were 'breaking out' and about to become homo-superior (never got over that one - it's the voices ;)....must get the DVD, thanks for this!!
Also recently got Ace of Wands (Tarot, remember him?) and Sky (nature vs. technology, very weird!)
Really great show! Very few people watched in Brazil and for years I have asked for Tomorrow's People and never found other person who watched too!! Started thinking it was a kind of fantasy... Now other people tells the same story! very funny!
Remember the original B&W opening sequene. Scared the crap outta me.. All those B&W photos being zoomed into, too much for my 8 YO sensitivities. Hence I haven't a view on the programme, just the bit of the titles I saw before I pushed the button to turn over..
i hear ya!!! i was about the same age - and the pic of the baby and the umbilical still freaks me out! has to be the most disturbing and SICK image EVER!!!!!
Didn't they remake it in the late 80's with one of those kids out of "Neighbours" ?
Never used to watch this back in the day- but will always remember this theme tune though.I must have been too young to understand the plots so only bothered with the music then probably turned over to BBC1.I would have been 9 when the series ended and probably into cartoons more.
thanks for posting. This was one of the more unusual sci-fi shows to come out of the BBC in the 70s. It was a great premise. I wonder how much of this show inspired the yanks when they were creating 'Heroes'.
I did love that show. Couldn't watch it all the time since i was in french boarding school. But i wanted so much to be able to teleport out of there,lol. Now the review are very harsh on the box set 1-3. Wonder why is that.
Used to think this program was ace. It always sent a chill down my spine every time it came on. The most memorable part was the bit at the end where bubbles of something are dropping onto each other, don't really know why. The thing is I can't actually remember the program, just the intro and something about wearing space suits. Guess I was just too young. Thanks for posting, it was great to see it again.
LOL, yeah that part where the suits become animated and attack the heroes is one of my earliest TV memories. I was a bit freaked out by that as a 4 year old. My memory seemed to have blocked it out or convinced me it was just a bad dream until I saw the episode on DVD a few weeks ago. I was like OMG it really happened!
hey...you and me both...I tell ya...it totally changed my life!....wait a minute...I can't type and hold my tourniquette at the same time....damn...dropped my needle.
70-80's intro tunes kicked butt, todays Vauxhall Conference Techno stuff makes me want to lie down in a darkened room.
I couldn't understand this as i was too young, it made me feel uneasy and it seemed sinister & morbid. However it looks more interesting than the rubbish on at 5-6pm at the moment. Now kids are watching Hollyoaks and everyones scratching their heads over 12 yr olds getting pregnant... DUH!
God, used to turn 'big light off' when this came on, scared me sh**less, one particular enemy really feaked me even though I dont think they actually made a real appearence. It was the ones that looked like the Egyptian dog god's and ate people, anyone remember there name?
Whoa!! Flashback!! When I was 5 I took this show very seriously even though I knew it wasn't real. I suppose British kids were watching Doctor Who while I was watching this. I remember I thought it was pretty scary when the screen flashed different colors. And the alien guy with the bubbling head was gross.
Yes I have the entire series on DVD now, thank goodness for the person who deiced that this should be brought back!
My fav episodes were the entire season 3 which consisted of the episodes Secret Weapon, Worlds Away, A Man For Emily, The Revenge of Jedikiah. I also really enjoyed season 2 as well since it featured so much of Stephen. (S2: The Blue and the Green, A Rift in Time, The Doomsday Men)
I was in infant school and junior school when this was on air - I always found it pretty creepy and disturbing! and the image of the baby in the opening sequence has to be one of the most disturbing and sickest moments on TV ever!!
You must be about my age then! 42? I too used to watch it while I was at junior school. Yeah, the baby holding the umbilical, gah! And what's that other thing with holes in it? That's the bit that stuck in my mind.
hey! yes - just a few months younger tho'!. relieved I'm not the only one who could recognize even at that tender age how 'wrong' that image was!!! LOL! the thing with the holes - i just looked but cant make it out - but I did see some kids face inside a giant wristwatch!! how did i miss that one!! ,LOL!!
I was probably about 5 or 6 when I got a Tomorrow People book out of the local library... and saw it was stamped "Non-Fiction". That was when I started getting scared by the show.
As a child, I would make pretend that I was on this show as the theme would play. The theme is a whole other subject in itself. It still has a sound like I've never heard before.
Most young people don't know, or care, about the original series so don't feel bad. IMO it was MUCH MUCH better than the 90's remake. I think you can rent it from Netflix or something, if not you can find them on eBay and there is/was an audio drams series as well which used a lot of the original actors from the original or 70's version. It's well worth looking into.
I know exactly what you mean about most young people (or even young-headed) not caring, but yeah, I'll look into it through Netflix, and the audio dramas as well. Always appreciated those as well. Thanks for the info.
All of the original stories can be found on Amazon (and I'm the proud owner of the first two boxed sets). A "continuation" in the form of audio dramas, using the original cast, can be found at Big Finish Audio, but I didn't find that as good. It was still impressive, but it had lost something.
Thanks for posting. I loved this as a kid. I used to jump from drain cover to drain cover in our rear garden, with my thumbs tucked behind the buckle of my belt, pretending to "jaunt". Oh - does anyone recall a very young looking Nicholas Lyndhurst in "Hitler's Last Stand" from 1978 (Series 6).
Yes Seriously. Apparently you're too young to remember the show but it was a HUGE hit in the UK & in the USA. In fact they still hold anniversary dinners for the entire cast and their fans.

Yes, it aired on ITV in the UK from 1973-1979 then from 1982-mid 's 1980s on Nickelodeon here in the states. IDK which episodes are here on youtube b/c I don't watch it here, I watch them on DVD. You do know that it's out on DVD right?
JellicleKat 2 years ago
bit more info for you it was made by Thames Television for Britain's ITV network. devised by Roger Price which first ran between 1973 and 1979. The show was re-imagined between 1992 and 1995, this time with Roger Price as executive producer. A third incarnation that ran between 2001 and 2007 saw a return to the original conception and characters, but this time produced as a series of audio plays by Nigel Fairs for Big Finish Productions. All three incarnations have been cancelled mid-run.

I loved the Original Series and the Audio Dramas but the 90's version was terrible. But that's just my opinion. BTW thank you for the comments.

yes the Original Series was the best

My friends and I were hooked on this show when it was on Nickelodeon while we were in elementary school. We would each choose what character we wanted to portray and had like our own little club. Pinwheel did absolutely suck! It want to say it ran in the morning for literally three to four hours straight.

Elgrano, you're definitely not the only American who remembers this show. I used to watch it in syndication on Nickelodeon during the early 80's. It was one of the most interestingly bizarre programs I'd ever seen.
tjs032173 2 years ago
I remember watching this at my Aunt and uncles house. They got Nickelodeon and we didn't. I really didn't care so much about the show itself, but I couldn't get enough of that cool theme music and the opening and closing credits. By the time we finally got Nickelodeon on our cable system, it had already been taken off.

Not only do I remember this I remember a TON of Classic Nickelodeon shows from the 80's. Today's Special, Pinwheel, Kids' Writes, Matt & Jenny, Black Beauty the Special Deliveries and MANY MANY more. In face I've got a Yahoo group called "A New Beginning For Classic Nickelodon" if you're intrested.

What was the name of the Brazilian soap opera showed on UK TV in the early 1980s???? Possibly 1982
Subtitled I think, and had end credit song with animation of womans disco dancing shoes

Why is it that these programs from when we were young in the 70s, (if you're of a certain age that is) were so damn creepy... Creepy music, off the wall content... The kids today don't know what proper TV is..... N wonder all us 30 somethings are so stable !! hahahaha

ITV are definately missing a trick here. Surely they can one of their Freeview Channels to retro stuff like this... over 50 years of archive just aching to be seen - and might give TV producers an idea on what real 'telly' is about!

I here that they made a new series in the 90's but have only seen the 70's version.
Where they still where flared trousers?
I think it was a ITV Thames or some other ITV region and not the BBC as it clashed with Blue Peter.

Didn't they remake it in the late 80's with one of those kids out of "Neighbours" ?
Never used to watch this back in the day- but will always remember this theme tune though.I must have been too young to understand the plots so only bothered with the music then probably turned over to BBC1.I would have been 9 when the series ended and probably into cartoons more.

Used to think this program was ace. It always sent a chill down my spine every time it came on. The most memorable part was the bit at the end where bubbles of something are dropping onto each other, don't really know why. The thing is I can't actually remember the program, just the intro and something about wearing space suits. Guess I was just too young. Thanks for posting, it was great to see it again.

LOL, yeah that part where the suits become animated and attack the heroes is one of my earliest TV memories. I was a bit freaked out by that as a 4 year old. My memory seemed to have blocked it out or convinced me it was just a bad dream until I saw the episode on DVD a few weeks ago. I was like OMG it really happened!

70-80's intro tunes kicked butt, todays Vauxhall Conference Techno stuff makes me want to lie down in a darkened room.
I couldn't understand this as i was too young, it made me feel uneasy and it seemed sinister & morbid. However it looks more interesting than the rubbish on at 5-6pm at the moment. Now kids are watching Hollyoaks and everyones scratching their heads over 12 yr olds getting pregnant... DUH!

Whoa!! Flashback!! When I was 5 I took this show very seriously even though I knew it wasn't real. I suppose British kids were watching Doctor Who while I was watching this.

My fav episodes were the entire season 3 which consisted of the episodes Secret Weapon, Worlds Away, A Man For Emily, The Revenge of Jedikiah. I also really enjoyed season 2 as well since it featured so much of Stephen. (S2: The Blue and the Green, A Rift in Time, The Doomsday Men)

You must be about my age then! 42? I too used to watch it while I was at junior school. Yeah, the baby holding the umbilical, gah! And what's that other thing with holes in it? That's the bit that stuck in my mind.

hey! yes - just a few months younger tho'!. relieved I'm not the only one who could recognize even at that tender age how 'wrong' that image was!!!

arcofneptune3000 2 years ago
Yes - almost! Having just watched it again, i reckon the whole title sequence would probably get banned these days for inducing too many traumas!.
I can't make out the thing with the holes, however I did spot a giant wristwatch with some kid in the middle of it!! what's that about? LOL!

psylentknight 3 years ago
Most young people don't know, or care, about the original series so don't feel bad. IMO it was MUCH MUCH better than the 90's remake. I think you can rent it from Netflix or something, if not you can find them on eBay and there is/was an audio drams series as well which used a lot of the original actors from the original or 70's version. It's well worth looking into.
JellicleKat 3 years ago
I know exactly what you mean about most young people (or even young-headed) not caring, but yeah, I'll look into it through Netflix, and the audio dramas as well. Always appreciated those as well. Thanks for the info.

All of the original stories can be found on Amazon (and I'm the proud owner of the first two boxed sets). A "continuation" in the form of audio dramas, using the original cast, can be found at Big Finish Audio, but I didn't find that as good. It was still impressive, but it had lost something.

hi jellikat
when you mentioned "mike" do you mean mike Holloway?
did you ever listen to the cast members talking about how they felt about each other and the show?
they made some pretty unkind remarks about that salmon character(i forget his first name)?
listening to them you get a distinct impression that they didn't like him
which must of been so unpleasant for young mr salmon.
also it made them sound bitter and cold
which put me off.
i threw away the dvd.
its called slaves of jedikia.
