I have been watching this REALLY STRANGE program on cable (Nickleodean(sp?))
called "The Tomorrow People."  It seems to have been done on a tiny budget
(less than Dr. Who even) but seems to be pretty well done (in a warped
way).  Does anyone know the premise of this show?  (It is from BBC, about
1974, I think).

In short:  The heroes are kids (its a kids show) who have special powers of
some sort.  They can teleport (sometimes they need some kind of gadget, 
sometimes they don't).  They have some sort of self aware computer (or 
something, its not clear its really a computer).  Alot (but not all)
of the science seems pretty much right, it looks like they paid attention
to what their science adviser said.  All sorts of really strange things
happen, but basically good guyes vs. bad guys trying to take over the Earth
in one way or another.
