Tomorrow People

MyGen Profile GeneratorThe Tomorrow People is a children's science fiction television series, devised by Roger Price and produced by Thames Television for Britain's ITV network between 1973 and 1979. The premise of the show concerns the emergence of the next stage of human evolution, who are classified as Homo superior, the next stage after Homo sapiens. However, these Homo superior prefer to call themselves "the Tomorrow People". Born to Homo sapiens parents, an apparently-normal child might at some point between childhood and late adolescence experience a physically and mentally stressful process calling "breaking out". Surviving this process means becoming a "Tomorrow Person", capable of various psi powers such as telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation (called jaunting in the show, presumably after the novel The Stars My Destination). However, they are unable to deliberately physically injure others (though capable of using non-lethal weaponry such as "stun guns".)The Tomorrow People operate out of a secret laboratory built in an abandoned London Underground station. They watch for new Tomorrow People "breaking out" to help them through the process and sometimes deal with attention from extraterrestrial species, especially from the "Galactic Federation" which oversees the development of telepathic species. In addition to their psi powers, they also use advanced technology such as the biological computer TIM, which is explicitly capable of original thought and can augment their psychic powers. While they reveal existence to some (especially to parents of the Tomorrow People), they generally operate in secrecy for fear that normal people (whom they term "saps", an abbreviation for Homo sapiens) will either fear and victimise them because of their special powers or try to exploit their powers for military purposes.(Summary from Wikipedia.org).. width="425" height="350" ..All material is copyright © Roger Price 2007 The Tomorrow People series is copyright Thames Television Ltd. 1991.
