1990s NICK

Roger Price produced both 1973-79 and 1992-95 versions. This series only seems related to 1970s BBC series in title and basic powers. But show creators took a completely different direction. Different characters with international origin (Well British Colonies at least). While the show is far better it is very stylized and to me has a very 1970s American TV movie feel. Does not look like a 1990's TV show at all. Kids could have have been from LORD OF THE FLIES.

Non of the goofy gadgets form the 1970s incarnation survive.

Produced for both Thames (BBC) and Nickelodeon.


However may of the cast have significant pasts and futures.
TV Vet, Kristian Schmid (Adam) and Christian (Megabyte) are the only actors to last all three seasons.
Christopher Lee made a cameo in 5 episodes in 1995.
