# Tomorrow People
wow that takes me back to my childhood it was like Doctor Who meets Space 1999 but with 'Jaunting' and bad hairstyles.

# I had only previously seen the remake
which was one of those budget, in-house childrens afternoon shows that seemed to love their bad special effects.

Never really got the jaunting bit though. Minor genetic changes don't make mammals teleport.

/WRYYYYYYY!

# I'm not familar with the remake
but the original was Cult TV - I particularly enjoyed the episode Green & Blue (Or whatever it was called) where rival gangs attacked each other which was a perfect mirror of the riots of the early 80's.

# Yay - Flock of Seaguls hairstyle
a b3tamax tape of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, 20lb Sony Walkman with "Karma Chameleon" which you copied from Radio One playing on a C90 tape, A Sport Jacket with the sleeves rolled up, baggy trousers and pointy toe shoes. I bet you look a treat.

# We didn't think
we just oozed in a cloud of our own hairspray.

I was more of a punkette though - so backcombed black hair set with 10 metric tonnes of hard as rock hairspray, a perfectly good Dead Kennedys t-shirt which I felt compelled to cut the sleeves off and add some safety pins, a leopard print miniskirt, fishnet stockings and Monkey Boots with day-glo pink socks.

That was when men worse socks that made stockings look short

# Many a sexual accident happened
in those dark days :)

Lead singer from Spear of Destiny speaking on the phone to Marc Almond
"Ere I got well bladdered last night and I took home that good looking bird from Culture Club and gave her a right shagging!"

Marc Almond "That's Boy George, he's a bloke!"

The lead singer from Spear of Destiny "This conversation never happened and I will sue anybody who says I gave him one!"

# McGyver was cool
he could make Semtex with just chewing gum and earwax.

or lick his elbow?
Hmmm!?

# McGyver

# That's because you can't make
incredible stuff out of basic useless junk. Like the time he made a Time Machine only using a McDonalds Quarter Pounder box and some graphite scrapped from the heal of a Yeti he had killed using a lazer he had contructed out of Lego and soap powder.

with the triangular robot heads that used to watch people in sinister silence from the undergrowth? Or have I been soldering without the extractor on again?

# Children's show?
i doubt you mean tripods...
tripods rocked. that was my first encounter with a giant robot genre

# No, itwernt tripods.
I just remember these robotic (could have been organic) things that spied on these kids that they were chasing. It could have been a dream; i spent a lot of my youth spacked out under anaesthetic. (as comical as that may sound, I wish I was joking).
