I was looking for additional resources for the Metamorphosis Alpha RPG when I discovered this imdb.com/title/tt5861096 I guess there's no trace of the movie left except maybe a mention in a TV guide. But that's not really unusual. During the 1950s there was a Buck Rogers TV show of which nothing is left. But I have to wonder how much influence, if any, did this movie have on Jim Ward? |

If I understand it correctly, it was a British TV movie/pilot (that maybe aired?). I'm pretty sure Jim Ward is American, so the odds of him (or anyone else in North America) crossing paths with this seem pretty remote. |

Looking at the YouTube clip of the intro this reeks of fake. Tomorrow people and Starlost clips have been mashed together. |

intro and end credits "ITV did not pick up the series when it was discovered that Thames Television had not properly secured the rights from TSR in America" YouTube link about a minute in there is a shot of the Earth Ship Ark from the Starlost |

I wasn't aware of this clip, but it is indeed a mashup of Tomorrow People and Starlost. But the owner of that YouTube account also has a couple of videos relating directly to Goodman Games who are currently publishing Metamorphosis Alpha (MA). Is this MA video a promo of some kind? I'd ask on the MA Google Group, but the mods delete everything I post. |

Fakey. That's also the Tomorrow People cast in the titles. "Toy boat! Toy boat!" |
