War of the Empires – The Tomorrow People

In this episode of The Channel I take a look at the final season of The Tomorrow People, a four-part serial called War of the Empires and first broadcast in the UK in 1979.

The result of a script with two re-writes, just four days shooting in the studio, and a possible commentary on British colonialism dressed up in a Star Wars package, this is a confusing carbuncle of a story. Or is it a deep insight into politics, power, the UN, and a producer trying to impress his new State-side bosses?

In addition, we have a bio of actor Elizabeth Adare (at 15m 39sec) who worked before and after her starring role in The Tomorrow People before becoming a child therapist.
