The Tomorrow People is a British childrens science fiction television series, created by Roger Price. Produced by Thames Television for the ITV Network, the series first ran from 1. This version used the same basic premise as the original series with some changes, and ran until 1. A series of audio plays using the original concept and characters and many of the original series actors was produced by Big Finish Productions between 2. In 2. 01. 3, an American remake of the show premiered on The CW. It is shown on E4 in the UK. Premise. Born to human parents, an apparently normal child might at some point between childhood and late adolescence experience a process called. These abilities include psionic powers such as telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation. However, their psychological make up prevents them from intentionally killing others. Original series 1. The Tomorrow People operate out of a secret base, The lab, built in an abandoned. London Underground station. The lab was revamped at the beginning of Series 6. The team constantly watches for new Tomorrow People. They sometimes deal with attention from extraterrestrial species as well as facing more earthbound dangers. They also have connections with the. In addition to their psychic powers the so called 3. Ts of telepathy, telekinesis and teleportation, they use advanced technology such as the biological called in the series. TIM also helps the Tomorrow People to teleport long distances, although they must be wearing a device installed into a belt or bracelet for this to work. Teleportation is referred to as jaunting in the programme. The team used jaunting belts up to the end of Series 5, after which they used much smaller wristbands. In the original series, the Tomorrow People are also referred to as both Homo Novis and Homo superior. The term Homo Superior was originally coined by Olaf Stapleton in his 1. Odd John. This is also the term that comics writer Stan Lee has his Magneto character use to refer to mutants in X Men 1, 1. The same term later appeared in David Bowies 1. You Pretty Things. You gotta make way for the Homo Superior. Price had been working on a script for his Tomorrow People project and during a conversation with Bowie, the term Homo superior came up. Bowie liked the term and soon afterwards wrote it into his song. Price has sometimes been quoted as saying that the lyrics to this song were inspired by the series. Evans also became a scientific advisor for the series. He would be credited as such on every single episode but most people working on the show seem to recall that he only had involvement in the first couple of series. In order to defend themselves they must use non lethal weaponry such as. In early series they would have the aid of. Also in the second and third series they become friendly with a psychic researcher named Professor Cawston who assisted them and vice versa. Roger Price dreamed up the idea in 1. Granada where he was working but was turned down so offered it to Southern TV who expressed an interest but had concerns over the budgetary requirements. Finally, Lewis Rudd at Thames Television commissioned a 1. At this time, ITV was keen to find its own answer to Doctor Who, although Price never really envisaged the show as such but more as an outlet for his own personal ideas and beliefs. Very early on, Ruth Boswell was brought in as associate producer and script editor as she had experience of childrens fantasy drama Timeslip and Tightrope while TV dramatist Brian Finch was hired to co write the scripts in view of the fact that Price had little experience of writing drama. Finch disliked the experience as he was not engaged by the material and found a large part of his time was taken up in trying to rein in Price and his very ambitious ideas. Thames enlisted the services of Doctor Who director Paul Bernard to help set up and oversee the first series. He would be credited as director for two stories but was unofficially a third producer. Bernard was very heavily involved in the creation of the memorable title sequence which involved a mixture of haunting images and facial shots of the main cast zooming towards the camera in monochrome, with an eerie theme tune from prolific Doctor Who composer, Dudley Simpson, playing behind. He got inspiration from seeing billboards rushing towards him when driving. The sequence opened with a clenched fist opening out to signify a telepathic mind breaking out. Amongst the next shots were a human foetus, shadowy figures behind scaffolding and even the insides of a bell pepper a somewhat exotic fruit in the UK in the 1. Over its six year run the format would prove flexible enough to encompass various type of stories such as traditional alien invasions adventures as well as entering into genres such as espionage thrillers, slapstick comedy, time travel, political satires, space opera and even on occasion more adult concepts than would be normally found in a teatime drama for children. At a time when Mary Whitehouse was regularly criticising violence in Doctor Who, The Tomorrow People featured dagger wielding Devil worshippers and a direct implication of prostitution in the 1. As it was aimed at young people, then it would often reflect popular fashions and fads of the time but usually with a suitable sinister twist. For example,. The following seasons. In 1. 97. 7 Mike joins a pop band,. The popularity of the book. Nicholas Young was cast as the groups leader, John, while Peter Vaughan Clarke was offered the role of Stephen after Price saw him in a Manchester rendition of Peter Pan with Lulu. Ruth Boswell wanted Lynn Frederick later the last wife of Peter Sellers for Carol, the female lead, but following a meeting with her, Paul Bernard felt she was a bit too upper class and precious for what he had in mind as he saw the character as being similar to Doctor Whos Jo Grant. They finally settled on Sammie Winmill who was relatively well known for playing Nurse Crumpton on the popular Doctor at Large situation comedy also a Thames production. The role of Kenny, the youngest TP, was given to Stephen Salmon after he had been discovered in a drama workshop while theatre actor Philip Gilbert was selected to provide the paternal tones of biotronic computer TIM. Making up the team were two Sap friends, a couple of bikers called Ginge Michael Standing and Lefty Derek Crewe who encounter the Tomorrow People when acting as henchmen for the villainous shape shifter Jedikiah in the opening adventure. Stephen would be very much the shows hero and focus for the audience while John was something of an authoritarian figure who took his responsibilities for the species future and welfare very seriously. Young was the only TP to be in every single episode and the actor was able to have some say in the production of later seasons as he was considered as an unofficial producer. Kenny was given very little to do and was often left behind in the Lab due to being the youngest while the others went off to have the actual adventures. Filming commenced in March 1. Muswell Hill. Early publicity included a photo session of the cast with the Doctor Who star, Jon Pertwee, to indicate a friendly rivalry between the two shows. Look in magazine would provide a great deal of coverage of the series and by July would have launched its own comic strip version which ran on and off in its pages for the next five years. TVTimes also promoted the new show with an article on its first week. Even for the time, some of the special effects of the show were considered sub par, largely attributable to its small budget. Most directors on the show would rely heavily on chromakey to get their desired effects but due to the rushed time on studio days, the results varied greatly in outcome. To make it even more difficult, studio time was restricted as English Law dictated that juvenile actors could only work a certain number of hours in a day.
