The Tomorrow People

The Tomorrow People

The Tomorrow People is a British children's science fiction television series, created by Roger Price. Produced by Thames Television for the ITV Network, the series first ran from 1973 to 1979. A remake appeared in 1992, with Roger Price acting as executive producer. This version used the same basic premise as the original series with some changes, and ran until 1995. A series of audio plays using the original concept and characters (and many of the original series' actors) was produced by Big Finish Productions between 2001 and 2007. In 2013, an American remake of the show premiered on The CW. It is shown on E4 in the UK.

Stephen Jameson:
Okay, okay, wait wait wait, wait. Where are we? How-... Who are you?

John Young:
You're in an abandoned subway station 100 feet below the streets of Manhattan. You teleported here. Actually... I teleported you.

Cara Coburn:
We're called Tomorrow People. And we didn't choose the name, I swear.

Stephen Jameson:
[laughing, seeing the others] This isn't happening. It's just another one of my crazy dreams.

Cara Coburn:
[telepathically] It's not a dream, Stephen.

Stephen Jameson:
How did you do that?

Cara Coburn:
You've heard of telepathy? It's another one of our powers.

John Young:
The three Ts, the third being telekinesis.

[Stephen nods humorfully]

Cara Coburn:
[to John] He doesn't believe us.

John Young:
It's funny, the teleporting usually sells it.

Stephen Jameson:
No offense, but any second I'm gonna wake up someplace awful. Maybe another three-way at the neighbors' place.

[John smiles at the thought]

Cara Coburn:
You don't understand, Stephen. You're one of us. You're breaking out.

John Young:
You're waking up in weird places, Stephen? You're not sleepwalking. You're teleporting. You hear Cara's voice in your head, that's telepathy. Your latent powers are starting to appear. Soon, you'll be able to do this.

[Stephen begins levitating off the floor with no effort whatsoever evident on John's face]

Stephen Jameson:
Okay, oka- okay! Okay! Put me down! Put me down!

John Young:
You got it.

[Stephen falls into a crouching position. One of the others laughs]

Stephen Jameson:
No, no, I'm having a psychotic break. My meds are off or something.

John Young:
No, no, no more pills. They're obviously addling your brain.

Cara Coburn:
What he means... is the drugs are just going to get in your way.

Stephen Jameson:
Get in my way? You have no idea what my year has been like.

Cara Coburn:
[with a hurt expression] Stephen, I know *exactly* what it's been like. I know how alone you've felt, how scared. You feel like you're turning into a different person, like your mind isn't your own. All those hours on your therapist's couch? I was there with you, Stephen. When we're connected, I feel what it's like to *be* you.

Stephen Jameson:
That sounds, um, awful.

[a black hood is snatched off Stephen's head. He's wrist-bound to a chair in a room with unusual acoustic tiling on the wall]

Dr. Jedikiah Price:
[clears throat] I'm sorry about that. Security precautions. Aw, speaking of which, you see the walls? Don't bother trying to teleport out of here. My name's Dr. Price.

Stephen Jameson:
You're one of them? Ultra?

Dr. Jedikiah Price:
I can only imagine what John has said. That I'm some... Boogeyman, systematically rounding up your kind and wiping you out. Did he say why I was doing this or just because I'm evil?

Stephen Jameson:
Yeah, because you're scared of us.

Dr. Jedikiah Price:
Well, I'm an evolutionary biologist. If anything, I'm fascinated. No, what scares me is what the rest of the world will think if they knew a paranormal species was living secretly in their midst. A species that could annihilate them.

Stephen Jameson:
They don't want to be found. Okay? They just want to be left alone.

Dr. Jedikiah Price:
You have no idea what this world would look like if I didn't find people like you and stop people like you. Look at this. We just found a 17-year-old who stole $70 million from the Federal Reserve. You got a 16-year-old who was caught trying to tag the Oval Office. An 18-year-old who was caught tweeting nuclear launch codes. And so many breakouts, Stephen. It's all over the world, unpredictable, uncontrollable. I'm not the bad guy here, Stephen. Not by a long shot.

[Jedikiah picks up a big syringe with a long needle and flicks the tube]
