I just want to share my unbiased view on the 70s as someone born in 2001. I feel such a warmth and nostalgia from footage from this time even if I haven't lived through it. It feels more grounded. When I see footage of any show around the 70s I think it focused much more on the British mundane and wasn't flashy. Because of this, there's such a cosy feeling to it. It gives me the same sense of being in a small town in Wales where my family are from where the shops and farms and pubs feel stuck in the 70s.

Ahhh ... those were the times when you actually got something for your TV Licence ! Unlike most of the BBC's recent 20 years of $#!+ and their clearly IZRL biased reporting!

It was about 1980 when I had my Nascom 2 producing text on screen from Morse Code whistled into a microphone. My brother came into my room just as I was testing it, so I whistled: .__ ._ _. _._ . ._. and he simply left :D

I watched this exact video as a child. Yesterday I downloaded a 3D STL file to allow anyone to print anything anywhere. My girlfriend is five years younger and won't do online banking

The government thought it would be to expensive, what is it with Ireland and England. Well its either soccer or rugby because their great a kicking the can down the road, been kicked down the road so much now there's nothing left of it.

Where will that take us. Know we know slavery is back. We must serve or gods elon bill you get the idea.

Speculation about what the moon is made of, because nobody knew.... Legend...

Hmmm, in 1969 I entered high school.

I love the Concorde bit. The windows felt really hot when I flew on it. Awesome

Judith Hann was a dream

TW wouldn’t be TW without Raymond Baxter (Ex WW-2 Spitfire pilot) was presenting it.

James Burke before connections , one of the best scientific series ever .

If you're offended it applies to you.

If only they could see what became of their country. They’d be horrified.

They won't show you the episode featuring geoengineering in the form of cloud seeding from 1978 . I watched it aged 10 .

“Will this be the end of the electric car” They’ve been trying to kill the electric car for decades. 40 years later they’re only just starting to be mainstream

This started our microchip revolution.

The days when everybody was white and English and spoke beautiful clear articulated English.

Garbage and nonsense 🙄🙄🙄

@22:20 they know what they are doing. its a plane...t-minus

Where can we find the full episode??

Crikey! Looks so ancient. I was 8 when this was made...

I have a Northern English accent and speak perfectly properly, prick.

0:14 grade a wanker

14:15 What a death trap.

Its worth watching his connections series from 1978. also, he created a web resource like wikipedia... before wikipedia

For a 3rd world country with a tyrant, where the people have plenty of modern technology 1984 was right.

Base on mars in 2025 lol

I wish they brought this show back, I watched as a kid in the 90s and it was awesome

Seeing the 1984 segment and she says gladly only 1 part came true,.....2024 it's a carbon copy of the book. Down with the government

hes got that hippie clear in his sights😂 4:54 full on brainwashing at 11mins

Met Michael Rodd as a contestant on Screen Test. I was 12 and traveled to Manchester with my year tutor. It was shot in the same studio as T.O.T.P. an old church I seem to recall. Got 8 points but lost out on a tie break question to Wendy Jane Wardle from Wrexam. A name still burned into my brain 50 years later. Michael was lovely and somewhere at my mothers I have a signed copy of the script. 😁

Dude, Where's my rocket scientist? 🇨🇳⚖👽🧧

The new nuclear technology was a high risk, high reward gamble. The many stupid attempt at cutting costs however was a major factor in cost overruns. And perhaps material technology wasn't quite there yet? Meanwhile the textile industry (eg) made loads of money and could afford their own R&D, the do not need government grants. But they do need electricity, and as we now know (and honestly should have known in 1979) that this electricy should come from low carbon sources like nuclear, hydro, wind and solar energy. (And I am not so sure about solar back then.)

The deafening noise of the Concorde was telling, and the absurd prices meant you really could only provide a novelty quick and uncomfortable ride for the people with access to loads of money. That same money, if you had a few extra hours to spare, would give you a restful sleep in a first class cabin on a traditional long range airplane.

So they could have made the same bit about the Eurotunnel, and by the end of the 1980s work would have started. 20 year after the initial prediction is not to bad for a future prediction of this magnitude.

Its Cheese everyone knows that lol .....SEE WHAT I MEAN MR ETON MOSK THE ENGLISH HAVE BEEN DOING EXPERIMENTS FOR CENTURIES BEFORE AMERICA WAS INVADED ! RECON THE NATIVES WOULD FLY TO THE MOON ATRALLY WITHOUT CAUSING DAMAGE OR MINING THE OCEAN BEDS FOR PATHERIC HORRIBLE ELECTRIC CARS LOL .... U AINT THAT CLEVER ARE YA . MAYBE WHITE OR GREY MATTER PROBLEM HEY LOL

You can really click those fingers to some John dankwith tunes, I often do that while wearing a Pringle jumper& winklepickers

At the end Judith Hann asks 'Will I carry a supercomputer in my pocket?' Yes, it is called a Smartphone, which has far more processing power and capabilities than the most advanced super computer of that era.

I was almost exactly one year old when this was broadcast, which I think was 27th December 1979.

Some of them proly lied to get a head start😂

I used to love watching this show for tech that wouldn't work and it happened a lot. Nothing ever seemed to work with the presenter Peter Macann, for instance. He would always say, ''Well, it worked earlier on.''

Arthur at his best

21:10 "missionaries and cannibals" ah yes the perfect game for kids of all ages

Fortunately, Ford have just started making the Capri again so you'll be able to buy a car just like it with all the modern features.

LOVED the Theme Tune!

Hey, curtains you only need to wash one a year!

I remember watching the first episode of Tomorrow's World as an 8-year-old child, looking back its predictions were always somewhat optimistic as the mid-60s was a time of optimism. I remember being fascinated and excited by their predictions that we would have robots in the home flying cars and bases on Mars and the Moon by the mid-70s. Today in 2024 we may not have quite what they expected back then, but we have marvels today far beyond their wildest expectations and predictions. I am writing this on a computer I hold in the palm of my hand that has more computing power than all the computers combined in 1965 and in today's world it is taken for granted.

WHAT A GREAT SHOW , I LOVED IT 😊
