Answer 2

The Tomorrow People are the next stage of human evolution: Homo Superior. Gifted with various telepathic abilities such as telepathy, telekinesis and teleportation (jaunting), these special teenagers are also unable to kill. Sworn to defend the Earth from enemies both alien and human, the Tomorrow People operate from a secret base known as the Lab, situated in a disused London Underground tunnel, and are assisted by Tim, a sentient biotronic computer.

First to manifest their powers - or ‘break-out’ - is John. The ‘father-figure’ of the team, it is John who originally makes contact with the Galactic Federation, a universal organisation made up of telepathic races. Where John is the brains of the team, Carol is the heart, being a compassionate young girl who is always willing to help those in need. Kenny is the youngest member, but makes up for his age with a keen mind. The first story sees these three Tomorrow People joined by Stephen, as he begins to break-out. Stephen is the more adventurous member of the team, always keen to rush off into danger. Later stories see members come and go: there is Elizabeth, a young schoolteacher, who soon becomes the team’s ‘mother-figure’. Tyso, a young gypsy boy; Mike, an impetuous teenager who plays in a band called ‘the Fresh Hearts’; oriental ‘goddess’ Hsui Tai; and the mischievous young scot, Andrew.

Created in 1973 by Roger Price, ‘The Tomorrow People’ was always entertaining, full of fresh, innovative ideas, and larger-than-life villains. The series proved to be immensely popular, particularly as young viewers - even me! - were taken with the idea that even they could be a potential Tomorrow Person, just waiting to ‘break-out’. Stories are action-packed, and fast paced, and are both humorous and dramatic; in fact some of the subjects they feature, such as racism, espionage, Nazism and violent death are quite extraordinary for a children’s show.

Answer 3

Cor, it originally aired in the mid 60's when I was a lass. From the vague bits I can remember the children were born with special powers and could telecast here there and everywhere in a post apocalyptic earth. Brilliant concept for the time!

Answer 4

It was about a bunch of kids with paranormal powers. They were the next stage of human evolution, Homo Superior. Although they had such powers and advanced technology, they had to operate in secret because of fear of persecution by 'the saps' - the rest of humanity. In fact, it was very X-men.
I remember their AI computer, Tim, and the 'jaunting belts' they used to teleport. It seemed very cool at the time!

Answer 5

they used to time travel - remember Mike in it who was also in Flintlock (The Drummer I believe) after that my memory gets a bit fuzzy lol

Flintlock used to appear alot on "Pauline's quirkes" starring pauline Quirke and Linda Robson BTW
