Reviews

screenman At the time this one-of-kind-program had a great following, including my then schoolboy self. For me it was unmissable because it was the first adult programme to demonstrate new ideas and conjecture about their future implications. It was almost practical science fiction because of that. Unfortunately; as the previous poster has mentioned; although it was screened at a time when kids would still up and parents safely home and watered, it presented subjects in an easily digestible style that we would now call 'dummed down'. In the 60's, science and technology was very much perceived as the territory of boffins in white coats, quite beyond the remit of most people. This was reflected in the interest shown by Hollywood.Things have changed. Thanx to 'Dr Who', 'Star Trek' and others, the biggest blockbusters tend towards sci-fi. Two generations of Kids have grown up with a far better understanding of time, space and all things between. And science programs like 'Horizon' have become a lot more sophisticated as a result. The public are much more lab-wise.But it was this twee and slightly patronising vanguard that set the ball rolling. I think pioneers deserve a disproportionate respect.
FriedEggMan In the mid 1960's when Tomorrows World first aired it was one of a kind. Part of its appeal was that it was always transmitted live. This gave viewers the excitement of guessing just which of this weeks studio experiments would fall flat on its face.Tomorrows World was quite bad at predicting the future. Many of the gadgets shown were never to see the light of day. The main problem with the show was it's lightheartedness. It never went into any depth possible due to time restrictions. It always left the viewer feeling frustrated and lacking.Each week they would show us 4 or 5 items from science, technology or the medical world and just couldn't do any of the topic justice. A one hour program on EACH would have been more interesting.
