Hell ya!\u00a0 Here are the opening and closing credits for The Tomorrow People<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

This incarnation of the show ran in Britain from 1973 to 1979.\u00a0 The premise of the show was reminiscent of the concept of Mutants from the X-Men.\u00a0 The stars of the series were a bunch of teenagers that were supposedly the next stage of human evolution, known as Tomorrow People. They were born to human parents, but during puberty a process called “breaking out” occurred. This is when they developed their psychic powers such as telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation.<\/p>\n

I didn’t see this series until it was rebroadcast in the early 1980s on Nickelodeon.\u00a0 As I was already an addict of Doctor Who<\/em> at the time, making the leap to The Tomorrow People<\/em> was pretty easy.\u00a0 I never saw the follow-up incarnations, but I’m interested in checking out the Big Finish audio dramas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With that, let me just say, “TIM… jaunt!”<\/p>\n
