Its a funny thing, I was in a record store and I saw this show there, and I thought...'A and E' made the DVD set so I thought it must be kind of a thriller...well, lo and behold, it was anything but. Really does not fit the 'A and E' criteria at all, as it is aimed at pre and young adolescents. Never saw it as a kid...maybe someone at AE (The Arts and Entertainment Network) thought it predated Star Trek so deserved to be a DVD-as it has a lot of Star Trek type of gadgets in it...well, it doesn't predate Star Trek and it is really quite lame-even for kids, in my opinion, maybe even could be called a total joke. The fact that AE put it out is more or less a joke also, and highly misleading, as there are no photos to reveal it as a bad kids show on the back of the DVD box. Didn't cost much, maybe I could give it away...but I must admit, I can't think anyone who would want to watch it.

There were many reasons why British children ran home from school every Monday afternoon to watch The Tomorrow People. For some, it was a fantastic source of escapism from the everyday stresses of life. For some, the special effects were so cheesy it made then show a must-watch for a laugh. And there were those who ran home to see their Heathcliffs. The latter category is, unusually, the category that I, an innocent 21st century teenage girl, fall into.Well, it's not as though these ladies-and gay men-could help it, couldn't they? There was John, a strong father figure, with chiselled good looks and luscious dark hair. There was Kenny, feisty but still a Catie pie. There was Stephen (one of my personal favourites), a nice young lad with a nice body and face. There was Tyso (another personal favourite), an adorable gypsy who went from cute to sexy in just a few stories. There was Mike, great to look at and a mean drummer, not too bright but still great to look at. And finally there was Andrew, an absolute sweetheart with a mischievous streak.So those are the reasons why I watch the Tomorrow People. Oh, the stories were great too. But I mainly watch it for the hunky men. 8 out of 10 for that alone.

i loved this show ,wishing i could do what they could. Like some of them could move things around and being able to connect with each other by just thinking about it. if i remember right there were some people who were always after the tomorrow people and a lot of the story lines centered around someone getting caught by the bad guys and the others rescuing them because they could give theothers info on where they were being held. i wish they could put the series onto DVD or video like they are doing with so many other shows and also "here come the doubledeckers". the tomorrow people was a great series and the remake in the 90's just wasn't the same as the original, i rate it 4 out of 5

My memory of the show was completely buried from when I had seen it on Nickelodeon when I was a kid. Then I saw mention of it somewhere not long ago, and it all came rushing back to me, memories of what had been my favorite TV show at the time. That prompted some searching, and as a result, I am the proud owner of the first two seasons of The Tommorow People on DVD, which I ordered from Blackstar in the U.K. Watching it was quite an experience, being torn between thinking "this is so cheesy" and "this is absolutely brilliant". As I found watching the commentary, I wasn't the only one. Featuring Nicholas Young (John), Peter Vaughn-Clarke (Stephen), and Philip Gilbert (the voice of Tim), they made what I thought was going to be a technical commentary into a hilarious inside look at the making of the show, which they obviously thought was as cheesy and brilliant as I did. Everyone thinking of getting the DVD's should watch it. This is especially easy as the DVD's you order from the U.K. are Region 0, which means they can be watched all over the world (don't be fooled by blackstar.co.uk or amazon.co.uk when they mark them as Region 2 on the websites, they are all Region 0). Well worth the money for anyone who remembers the show and wants to take a stroll down memory lane.
