5.0 out of 5 stars
70s nostalgia,
By Michael Finn (Blackburn, Lancashire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Tomorrow People - Series 2 Box Set [DVD] [1974] (DVD)
As with the rest of the first four box sets the commentary is very good value. The stand out story from the season is The Blue and the Green. This was definitely one of the more disturbing stories in The Tomorrow People's long run and certainly creeped me out when I was a child watching for the first time during the 70s.This box set contains: The Blue and the Green (5 Episodes) A Rift in Time (4 Episodes) The Doomsaday Men (4 Episodes) The rest of the extras on the 3 discs are mostly text based including brief fact files, review, cast profiles, episode guide and a Photo Gallery. This is TV nostalgia at its best.

Review for Amazon
Monday, 05 April 2010 If you have fond memories of TIMESLIP you might well remember `the tomorrow people' self indulgence struck me again as I promptly treated myself to the tomorrow people second series DVD box set. Given that I was recently viewing extracts of episodes of it on you Tube. The Tomorrow People John, Steven, and Elizabeth are an especially select group of adolescents, superior human beings who are the next stage in human evolution and move cautiously among us - they are telepathic and try to use their special gift to help ordinary people (homosapiens), and even avert world catastrophe. Fans will doubtless remember the way they used to `jaunt' teleport with their belts, and their clever dick (extremely well spoken) commonsensical computer `TIM.' As a matter of fact Dudley Simpson who revised the DR. Who theme composed the captivating main title theme to the tomorrow people music. The Tomorrow people series is very much a product of its time. Returning to it thirty to forty odd years on, as a grown-up, as far as the acting goes, I found myself benignly giggling out loud at it, because the amateur dramatics is so engagingly quaint, and they quite often keep fluffing their lines. Nevertheless for all this, it's undeniably great nostalgia and very satisfying to watch, as well as helping to rouse my school day teatime television memories Circa 1974/5. To confess I actually only got this DVD just for the excuse of seeing pretty African actress Elisabeth Adare who played `Elisabeth' who makes her debut in the second series. One thing that startled and amused me was finding a much younger incarnation of soap Actor Chris Chittal who these days plays Eric Pollard in `emmerdale' turn up as a semi regular non supernatural friend to the team. I have to own up I don't generally buy a DVD so soon after getting one. But I'm glad I did on this occasion - as it was nice to retrieve my memories of this good-natured series all over again, and our trio of super humans are very friendly albeit theoretically ordinary. Which leaves the watcher with the intriguing thought - could even `I' be a tomorrow person? (Commence the main title theme tune) End of Review.

A trip back in time,
By Lilli de la Field (Hampshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Tomorrow People - Series 2 Box Set [DVD] [1974] (DVD)
I vividly recall watching Tomorrow People as a kid of six or seven when it first came out and it made such an impression on me and my best friend at the time that we used to run outside afterwards to have adventures of our own. Now, thirty-something years later I have the chance to relive the magic of this imaginitive series on dvd.
Season two is even better than season one, and starts with the slightly sinister story `The Blue and the Green', that introduces us to a new Tomorrow Person and a new Sap companion, Chris (Chris Chittel), whom I would never have recognised without the commentary. The Blue and the Green is about the best story of the series I have yet seen, although the two following stories, `A rift in time' and `The Doomsday Men' run a very close second place. A Rift in Time is an enjoyable romp as they travel back to Roman Britain to rescue Peter (remember the time traveller from Medusa Strain in season one). Peter in this story is a much more believable character than he was in the season one story, and Here we also meet for the first time Professor Cawston who later returns in season three. The Doomsday Men is an interesting story, and we finally get the chance to see a little more of Stephen, and to finally learn the truth...what do scotsmen really wear beneath their kilt...? This boxset includes a bunch of extras, including full commentaries by the original cast-members, full episode guides, cast and character profiles and more. Thumbs up guys. This is a must for fans of the series!
