Pre Audition Homework – Videos Added
Before auditioning for this film please try to become familiar with the basic premise of both Doctor Who (Season 1-4) and the original 1970’s series The Tomorrow People especially if you are auditioning for any of the main Tomorrow People characters namely “John Dixon,” “Elizabeth M’Bondo," or "Timus" – NOTE "Timus" must have a somewhat deep voice and may also play the (voice only) part of the computer "TIM."
Here is a list of Tomorrow People shows that you should try to watch IN ORDER to help you understand them better. I’ve chosen these episodes to give you a feel for the show, the characters, and to familiarize you with the Khultan who are now the bad guys of this new script, along with an evil scientist.
Both Doctor Who and The Tomorrow People are somewhat available online to watch in one form or another; enough for you to take note of these characters. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Stephen, up until now an ordinary schoolboy, suddenly collapses on a London street as the mental ordeal of "breaking out" begins. The three existing Tomorrow People (John, Carol and Kenny), aware of his ordeal, manage to make contact with him and guide him through the process, but are unable to keep him from being kidnapped by Ginge and Lefty, two Cockney thugs working for the mysterious Jedikiah, who wants the Tomorrow People for their psychic powers, and who serves in turn the even more mysterious Cyclops. Jedikiah turns out to be in reality the Cyclops' shape-changing robot; the Cyclops (implied to be of the same race as Polyphemus, the Cyclops of Homer's Odyssey) turns out to be an alien traveler stranded near Earth after an accident killed his crew of telepaths, whose powers are needed to operate his ship's engines. Jedikiah is damaged and goes berserk, damaging the ship and dooming it to explode; the Tomorrow People, however, are able to teleport the Cyclops off the ship to Earth, and contact other aliens who can provide the Cyclops with the atmosphere he needs to breathe and with transport back to his own star system. Jedikiah survives the explosion of the ship and is left drifting in space; Ginge and Lefty become the Tomorrow People's allies.
