So here&#8217;s an off-topic post that may still interest some <em>Tentaclii<\/em> readers, though I recognise that 1970s British TV sci-fi is an acquired taste. My mega-re-watch of the best of <em>Doctor Who<\/em> is ongoing, and as such I was interested to learn of a book-length guide to one of its competitor TV series called <em>The Tomorrow People<\/em>. I fondly but rather vaguely recall this from my youth, though haven&#8217;t seen it in many decades.<\/p>\n<p>The book guide for the series is titled <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3O8eB8u\">Jaunt: A Viewer&#8217;s Guide to The Tomorrow People<\/a><\/em>. First issued in 2013, and now in July 2022 just re-issued in a new &#8220;revised and expanded edition&#8221; including detailed coverage of the original comic-strip adventures that were run in <em>Look-In<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/jaunt.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/jaunt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"403\" height=\"605\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-55813\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>The cover is a faux emulation of a 1970s second-hand Penguin paperback.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I was also interested to hear of&#8230; &#8220;the return of the <em>Tomorrow People<\/em> in a lavish 1990s international co-production&#8221;, a TV reboot news of which had completely passed me by. There&#8217;s also said to be a modern third series, but it sounds both politically correct and radically changed, being set in a dystopian&#8230; &#8220;world far removed&#8221; from &#8220;the original series&#8217; vision&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The silly-season for news is here, and things are getting a bit slack while scholars are at the beach.
