The TV programme that predicted the mobile 'phone, the home computer, chip and pin, touch screen technology and plastic grass, makes its return to our screens later this year on BBC.
Alas, no Raymond Baxter, William Woollard or Judith Hann.
Baxter also did a lot of commentating/punditing on motor sport .. and what about James Burke ? ..he was the main man on a few very good BBC science programmes

James Burke - seriously intelligent man - very good at explaining complicated things to the 'common man'
I used to have a bit of a schoolboy crush thing for Judith Hann
Shame they couldn't have predicted the life and times of Roland Duchatelet. We could have turned off the lights, shut the curtains, and pretended nobody was home when he arrived to speak to Slater and co.
I always remember a new fireproofing material on TW. They put paper in a metal box then smothered the box with this wonder stuff and then lit a fire around it. Needless to say the obvious happened, the paper was to ash.

Loved a bit of Tomorrow's World as a kid. What a future I was going to have. Robots doing everything in my fully automated, self cleaning, house, rocket packs to whizz about on, self driving hover cars, holographic entertainment systems, the lot!

Gits.
lol .. instead we are now all slaves to 'technology'
didn't they say that by 2000 we'd all be working a 3 day week as computers would be able to do most jobs. All computers have done is to replace a lot of the workforce, esp in car manufacturing and people are having to work harder, for longer.
I do remember one programme showing a new type of fuel for airplanes that wouldnt burn or create smoke if the plane crashed. Seemed like a great product but no idea if it has ever been used.

Also - Michael Rodd had a bit of time on TW as I recall.
I wonder if they will do a feature each episode showing old features?
