Regarding today’s Slightly Forgotten Sci-Fi we’re not talking about the 2013-2014 CW series. And we’re not talking about the 2001-2007 Big Finish Audio productions. We’re not even talking about the 1992-1995 Nickelodeon Studios version. No, I’m talking about the original British series from 1973-1979. Young people entering puberty “break out” and find that they suddenly have various mental and teleportative powers. Fortunately they have a secret headquarters and the services of an alien Supercomputer named Tim. No, I’m not kidding, Tim. All the advanced beings in the universe are like our teens, and it means that we as a species are evolving from “saps” (homo sapiens) to “THE NAME OF THE SERIES” (homo superior). Our teens now can’t kill or seriously hurt anyone, so they use stun guns to incapacitate enemies. Fortunately they had normal sap friends like Lefty and Ginge to actually punch the people who need punching. Goofy, cheap and as inventive as only a 1970’s British sci-fi kids show can be, (I’m looking at you Dr. Who) it actually got quite serious at times. It also has the dubious honor of being Peter Davison’s first TV acting roll as an alien named “The Elmer” complete with a HORRIBLE American southern accent and cowboy outfit. Remember, no series names in the comments, but the Galactic Federation's headquarters The Trig has sent the following link: https://bit.ly/3cjn3PF
