Writer, publisher and TV producer who made drama for children and adults

Ruth Boswell, who has died aged 86, “got into telly” after a job reading unsolicited scripts for Atv during the early 1960s. She went on to script editing and producing in Atv’s children’s department, where she made the series Timeslip (1970) and The Tomorrow People (1973). Her instinct for storytelling, combined with her own knowledge of loss in childhood, gave her insight into children’s emotional development through the arts.

She later moved into adult drama at the BBC, where she and her husband, Greg Stewart, a psychiatrist, helped to develop Maybury (1981-83), a series about people with mental health problems, written by Shane Connaughton and featuring a young Kenneth Branagh. Then she moved on to Anglia TV to make the series The Chief (1990-95) with Tim Pigott-Smith and Martin Shaw. She also produced a feature film, The Run of the Country...

Ultimate X-Men #4-6 (2001)

Written by Mark Millar

Penciled by Adam Kubert (4), Andy Kubert (5-6)

Inked by Art Thibert (4), Danny Miki (5-6), Joe Weems (5)

Colored by Richard Isanove

Published by Marvel Comics

In Ultimate X-Men #4-6, writer Mark Millar and artists Adam Kubert and Andy Kubert continue to amp up the action with a pair of Sentinel assaults in the final two chapters while also giving Cyclops, Quicksilver, and Wolverine much needed character development. Millar continues to portray Magneto as the mutant Hitler (Cyclops even invokes Godwin’s Law in a “father/son” chat with him.), but his work with Xavier is slimy as well. Sure, he seems like a good guy, but he messes with Cyclops’ brain chemistry to try to get him not leave the team and concludes the “Tomorrow People” arc with Ming the Merciless-type stare while revealing he has a secret plan that might involve Wolverine.

Looking for what's new on Netflix streaming for October 2014? You've come to the right place.

We've rounded up the best TV shows and movies arriving soon. So take some time to peruse this list, and maybe block off a weekend or two so you can binge-watch Season 5 of "The Vampire Diaries" or something.

"Annie" (1982)

Based on the Depression-era comic strip "Little Orphan Annie," this adaptation of the smash Broadway musical follows America's favorite urchin (Aileen Quinn) as she captures Daddy Warbucks' (Albert Finney) heart with her unquenchable optimism. In the meantime, Annie must try to dodge the treacherous head of the orphanage (Carol Burnett). Directed by John Huston, Annie features the hit song "Tomorrow."

Alex's trek through the film roles of actors who've played the Doctor reaches Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy...

Read the previous part in this series, Doctor Who: the film careers of Patrick Troughton and Tom Baker, here.

In March 1981, as he made his Doctor Who debut, Peter Davison was already one the best known faces on British television. Not only was he the star of both a BBC and an ITV sitcom - Sink Or Swim and Holding The Fort - but as the young and slightly reckless Tristan Farnon in All Creatures Great And Small, about the often humorous cases of Yorkshire vet James Herriot and his colleagues, he had cemented his stardom. The part led, indirectly, to his casting as the venerable Time Lord.

The recently installed Doctor Who producer, John Nathan-Turner, had been the Production Unit Manager on...

Now that Stranger Things has launched, we celebrate 25 of geek TV’s most memorable children with supernatural abilities…

Telekinesis, precognition, mind-control… the skills of these fictional TV kids go way beyond wheelies and scooter tricks. Understanding and controlling those abilities, however, is another matter.

Take Eleven, the mysterious child at the centre of Netflix's ace new series Stranger Things, she's the latest in the long and varied line of child characters who’ve struggled with their unpredictable and extraordinary powers.

Keeping our choices to live-action television characters like Eleven, whose power doesn’t come from witchcraft, a magical tool or sci-fi gadget, we revisit 25 of geek TV’s most memorable super-powered kids…

This year’s Saturn Award nominations have been announced and include a number of horror movie and TV releases, such as The Conjuring and The Walking Dead:

Other major contenders that packed a real punch were The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim, Star Trek into Darkness, The Book Thief, Her, Oz The Great and Powerful and Ron Howard’s Rush. Also making a strong showing was the folk musical fable Inside Llewyn Davis, which proves that the Coen Brothers are a genre onto their own. And Scarlett Johansson was the first Best Supporting Actress to be nominated for her captivating...

Teen Wolf has added Dylan Sprayberry to the cast. Sprayberry, best known for playing a young Clark Kent in Man of Steel and a young Cooper Anderson on Glee, will appear in season four as a “perfect” student who isn’t ready for the supernatural craziness of Beacon Hills.

Max Greenfield has been booked to appear on an episode of The Mindy Project. It’s not a New Girl crossover since Greenfield won’t be playing Schmidt. That makes me a little sad since Mindy and Schmidt could make for some amazing relationship drama.

More Max Greenfield is always a good thing.

Allison Janney tells Digital Spy that she’s set to appear in the second season of Masters of Sex as the wife of closeted University Provost Barton Scully. Janney adds that they’re still figuring how many episodes she’ll appear in as they have to work around her Mom schedule.

The 2014 People’s Choice Awards nominations were announced Nov. 5, and with fan-favorites like Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, Lucy Hale & Lea Michele all racking up nominations, our heads are spinning!

The People’s Choice Awards has always been one of the stand-out fun awards show offerings, but this year’s ceremony is looking to be a bloodbath. Jared Padalecki vs. Jensen Ackles vs. Stephen Amell vs. Ian Somerhalder vs. Andrew Lincoln? Pretty Little Liars vs. The Walking Dead? (How does one even vote on that?) At least no matter who wins, it’s somebody we like, right? (Wrong. So wrong. This is huge!)

Vampires, Liars, Doctors, and Walkers: The TV Noms

With plenty of viable candidates, the TV nominations are as brutally difficult as ever this year. Some of our favorite categories include “Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV Show,” which has Beauty and the Beast, Once Upon A Time, Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries,...

Glee may not be the phenomenon it once was, but it’s still a hit with The People.

Nominations for the 2014 People’s Choice Awards were announced Tuesday, and the Fox musical scored a leading eight nods. The Big Bang Theory and Grey’s Anatomy followed with five noms a piece, while How I Met Your Mother, Castle, Supernatural, Vampire Diaries and Walking Dead each scored four.

On Wednesday, October 9, a new version of The Tomorrow People will debut on Us television, over forty years after the show's first iteration debuted on ITV in the UK.

Created by Roger Price, the original series premiered on April 30, 1973, kicking off with episode one of five-part adventure 'Slaves of Jedikiah' and launching a science fiction franchise that would take in two television shows, comics, novels, a bevy of merchandise and one (sadly truncated) audio series.

But with a third TV take on the property - from The CW - now just days away from its own launch, how does that original '70s series opener stand up? Today, the Week in Geek finds out...

The Tomorrow People explores much the same themes as Marvel's X-Men comics, with the emergence...

"The Tomorrow People" was originally a British science-fiction series that ran in the 1970s. In the show, a man named John led the group of supernaturally evolved young adults. That same man, actor Nicholas Young, has now been cast in a recurring role in the CW remake.

The new role for Young is that of Aldus Crick, according to TVGuide.com. Crick is the scientist who discovered and studied the first generation of Tomorrow People, including Stephen's (Robbie Amell) father. Helping Stephen find that father, however, will make Crick a target of Ultra, the paramilitary organization out to find and capture the Tomorrow People.

Young's role as John on the original series lasted the entire run of the show from 1973 to 1979. The only actor to appear in every season, John was the obvious leader for the group. In the remake, the character of John Young (Luke Mitchell) was based on...

Nicholas Young is on his way back to The Tomorrow People.

The actor - who starred on the original version of this upcoming CW drama as John Young (who will be portrayed on the new series by Luke Mitchell) - will appear on Episodes 8 and 9 of Season 1.

Look for Young to come on board as a scientist named Aldus Crick who discovered and examined the first generation of Tomorrow People.

He will have a connection to Robbie Amell's Stephen Jameson via the latter's father, as Stephen will hope Crick has information about his dad's disappearance.

The Tomorrow People tells the tale of a group of individuals who learn they are the next step in human evolution. Think The X Men meets Heroes and tune in for the series premiere on Wednesday, October 9, following the opener of Arrow Season 2.

I’m going to need some help from anyone who understands British television on this story. Apparently, Catherine Tate is planning on reviving Nan, her curmudgeonly old lady character for a “TV recording” for the BBC.

The Tomorrow People remake has cast original series star Nicholas Young.

Young - who played John on the '70s ITV sci-fi series - has been cast in a new role on The CW's forthcoming remake, TV Guide reports.

The English actor will play Aldus Crick, a scientist who first discovered the Tomorrow People, in the new show's eighth and ninth episodes.

Young starred as John - the role played by Home and Away's Luke Mitchell in the remake - between 1973 and 1979 and was the only cast member to remain for the original Tomorrow People's entire six-year run.

Robbie Amell (Revenge) and Peyton List (Mad Men) will also star in The CW's series, with Lost's Mark Pellegrino cast as villain Jedikiah.

Julie Plec - who developed the revamp - previously admitted that she is a fan of the original Tomorrow People and used to watch the series as a child.

Nicholas Young, who played John in the original series, has joined The Tomorrow People remake on The CW...

Nicholas Young is following up his six-year stint on the original The Tomorrow People (in which he played the group's young leader, John), with a role in The CW's remake of the seventies series.

Young is to appear in episodes eight and nine of the new series, which makes its debut on the 9th of October in the Us and shortly afterwards on E4 in the UK. He'll be playing Aldus Crick, a scientist with information about the disappearance of lead Stephen's father, who attracts the unwelcome attention of Ultra, the organisation that seeks to exterminate homo superior.

This kind of hat-tip to the original series is usually a winner - Conan Doyle fans were delighted, for instance, to see former Sherlock Holmes actor Douglas Wilmer...

"The Tomorrow People" has found the voice of its all-important computer, Tim. And that voice belongs to Dan Stevens.

Stevens, best-known for playing the role of Matthew Crawley on "Downton Abbey," will not actually be seen on "The Tomorrow People." Instead, EW.com reports that he will provide the voice for Tim, a biological, artificial-intelligence computer that works with the Tomorrow People.

An important part of the original British series as well, Tim was voiced by Canadian actor Philip Gilbert in the 1970s. Although the main characters on the show are gifted with super-human evolutionary traits like telepathy and teleportation, Tim was always necessary to provide information about what was actually going on.

Although a central figure on "Downton Abbey" in previous season's, the sudden and unexpected death of Matthew Crawley in the last aired episode of that show has freed Stevens to work on other projects. In addition to "The Tomorrow People,...

The Tomorrow People’s artificially intelligent mentor now has a famous voice behind it.

EW has learned exclusively that Downton Abbey alum Dan Stevens will lend his voice to the Greg Berlanti-produced Tomorrow People, voicing biological computer Tim, a character first established in the ’70s British version of the show and originally voiced by Canadian actor Philip Gilbert.

Stevens, who will next be seen alongside Benedict Cumberbatch in The Fifth Estate, is far from the first actor to be heard-but-not-seen on a TV series. Kristen Bell was the voice of Gossip Girl for six seasons, Bob Saget has been...

Comic-Con is releasing its daily schedules over this long holiday weekend and the schedule for Saturday, July 20 has just come out. The day features panels on TV favorites like How I Met Your Mother (at the Con for the first time!), True Blood, and The Vampire Diaries as well as upcoming shows like Dracula and The Originals, and much more. Many of the major film panels are Saturday, including a look at the upcoming Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the Marvel panel, which will feature the Thor and Captain America sequels, and WB and Legendary’s panel featuring Godzilla, and Gravity.

There's always one day during the Sdcc when you just shake your head, laugh, and say, "This schedule is ridiculous." Saturday, July 20th, is shaping up to be that day this year.

Horror fans will have a lot of choices to make as the "Bates Motel" panel battles the one-two punch of Godzilla and Seventh Son. Later in the day you'll be faced with choosing to learn more about "True Blood," Telltale's The Walking Dead video game, or "Being Human." Right now 20th Century Fox's presentation that runs at the same time remains "To Be Announced," but once details are revealed, we'll provide an update.

Other panels vying for your attention throughout the day are "The Originals," "Grimm," I, Frankenstein teamed with The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (that combination should make for some interesting audience reactions), a look at gameplay from Dead Rising 3 on the Xbox One, more games, comics,...

This year, the fall television schedule is a decidedly crazy beast. I know, that doesn’t seem like the sort of thing that separates any year from any other, but television is in the midst of dizzying spins of theory, and comparisons to previous years show some serious changes.

Most striking is probably the extent to which the big networks are content to leave each other alone. Also noticeable is the unspoken admission that perhaps DVRs exist, and the schedule doesn’t really need to worry quite as much about who is watching what at the exact moment it airs. We’re still pretending to a degree, but there are hints.

At the moment, you’ve only got a quick look, but we will be constantly updating this page as any changes occur, and as the new shows are available for review (sure, we’ve seen them, but we aren’t supposed to “review” them…...

In case your photo-filled Facebook feed hasn’t already informed: it’s graduation season. And The Vampire Diaries has taken note.

In fact, the show released a congratulations of sorts on Monday for all its young fans.

It’s cheeky, gory, and makes me miss the show just a little more than I already do…(Hiatus blues, anyone?)

CSI: NY executive producer/showrunner Pam Veasey has signed a two-script development deal with Warner Bros TV-based Jerry Bruckheimer TV - also the producers of CSI: NY, which was recently canceled after 9 seasons, so it looks like the Veasey/Bruckheimer partnership lives on. No word yet on what kinds of ideas Veasey may be considering for the 2-script deal, but she has also signed up to serve as consulting producer on the upcoming new CW drama series, The Tomorrow People.  Veasey was with CSI: NY for its entire 9-season run, and also counts Ringer, The District and In Living Color as part of her resume. There aren't too many photos of Veasey solo - especially...

“Star-Crossed” looks like shit. But the other two sci-fi shows look pretty cool. “The Tomorrow People” is like “Alphas” set in high-school (though hopefully not forever) while “The 100″ is post-apocalyptic/sci-fi. Since all three shows are, of course, CW shows, it’s heavy on the teens. Or 20-somethings playing teens, anyway. Good for you if you know any of the people starring in these shows, because they’re all pretty much new to me. The Tomorrow People They are the next evolutionary leap of mankind, a generation of humans born with paranormal abilities — the Tomorrow People. Stephen Jameson stands at the crossroads between the world we know and the shifting world of the future. Up until a year ago, Stephen was a “normal” teenager — until he began hearing voices and teleporting in his sleep, never knowing where he might wake up. Now, Stephen’s issues have gone far beyond the usual teenage angst,...

The CW has released new, extended trailers for all five of their upcoming shows. A couple of these look pretty good, like “The Tomorrow People”, which looks like a high school version of “The X-Men” (or Syfy’s recently cancelled “Alphas”), but hopefully it’ll move past the high school setting because who the hell needs more of that on the CW? Another show of interest is apocalyptic sci-fi drama “The 100″, which has a nice premise. Shows that look completely dreadful include “Star-Crossed”, which is like “Twilight” and “Roswell”, but badly acted, written, and directed, which probably means it’ll last for a while. This is the CW, after all. “The Originals” is for you fans of “The Vampire Diaries”, and “Reign”, well, that’s a pretty brave idea for the CW, who rarely strays from their “ridiculously good looking 20-sometings playing teenagers in high school” formula.

Summer has barely kicked off, but The CW doesn't want you to forget that come fall there will be plenty of new TV shows vying for space on your DVR, and to make sure you remember, they've released extended promos for "The Originals," "The Tomorrow People," and "The 100."

You might recall "The Originals" is being paired with "Supernatural" on Tuesday nights while "The Tomorrow People" is airing Wednesdays following "Arrow." "The 100" is being kept in the wings for now as a midseason replacement. Below are the new previews and some abbreviated synopses. Click the related story link for more details.

"The Originals" (Tuesday, 8Pm)

"The Tomorrow People" (Wednesday, 9Pm)

Stephen is on the brink of becoming someone extraordinary, but he has no clue.

"The 100" (Coming Midseason)

After a nuclear apocalypse, civilization on planet earth was destroyed.

The CW previously released clips and short previews for the new series on their 2013-14 schedule.  If you are eager to see more, The CW obliged with 3-4 minute trailers for: The 100 - "After a nuclear apocalypse, civilization on planet earth was destroyed. 100 juvenile prisoners will be the first to set foot on ground after 97 years." The Originals - "The city Klaus once ruled has fallen under new leadership, and now he wants it back." Reign - "Mary will need more than love and friendship to do what is best not only for her, but for her country." Star-Crossed- "When Emery was 6 years old, an alien spacecraft crash-landed in her small town.  Did they come in peace or with more sinister intentions?"

Earlier this year, the Week in Geek posed a big question - in the wake of Merlin and Being Human both departing our screens, was demand for sci-fi and fantasy television in decline?

The conclusion I came to was a resounding 'no' - one era of cult TV was ending, but another was just around the corner, with the likes of BBC One's Atlantis and BBC Three's In The Flesh both gearing up to launch.

So last week, I asked Digital Spy readers to vote on which cult TV event of 2013-14 they were most excited for - below are the results of the poll, plus a few bonus suggestions from cult-savvy commenters...

Exclusive: As CSI: NY just ended its nine-season run, the series executive producer/showrunner Pam Veasey is staying in business with CSI: NY production company Jerry Bruckheimer TV. She has signed a two-script development deal with Warner Bros TV-based Jerry Bruckheimer TV. Additionally, she has joined the upcoming Wbtv drama series for the CW The Tomorrow People, which is slated for the post-Arrow Wednesday slot, as a consulting producer. Veasey, repped by CAA and Nina Shaw, was with CSI: NY for its entire run. During the 2011-2012 season, she juggled running the CBS forensic crime drama and the CW’s Ringer. Her series credits also include The District and In Living Color.

CBS can rightfully boast about winning another season in the ratings, but really all it did was stand still.

When the 2012-13 TV season, as measured by Nielsen, ends on Wednesday (May 22), the Eye will have locked up its 10th victory among total viewers in the past 11 years. For the first time in eight seasons, CBS is also the adults 18-49 leader, breaking Fox's streak atop the demographic heap.

In a year when it had the Super Bowl to boost its numbers, CBS improved a scant 1 percent in total viewers (11.86 million vs. 11.75 million in 2011-12) and fell slightly in adults 18-49 (2.9 from 3.0), based on the most recent Nielsen averages. CBS still would have been No. 1 even without the Super Bowl, but nonetheless it didn't really grow its audience much.

This season, though, not falling is something of an achievement. NBC had the smallest dropoff of the other big four nets,...

Why? Because we love you. And because we wanted this for ourselves and therefore figured you wanted it too. We wanted a place where we could see when Our Shows are on, and when Our Movies are coming out, and maybe a reminder of when ComicCon is happening. You know, like a calendar.

So, we’ve done it: it’s the SciFiMafia.com Calendar. Yes, that’s a link right there, but you can find it every day, 24/7, on the top navigation bar on any SciFiMafia.com screen; it’s the far right tab entitled, conveniently, “Calendar”. There you can see all of the TV series that we cover, to the best of our knowledge, as well as premiere dates for movies, and a few choice events.

Because it’s sometimes easier to see it all written out, however, the SciFiMafia.com Spring and Summer Primetime Schedule has been continually updated,...

The CW’s fall schedule is interesting to say the least. Supernatural is moving to Tuesday, following The Originals. Historical soap Reign gets the prime post-Vampire Diaries slot while The Carrie Diaries gets exiled to Fridays.

Meanwhile, Warehouse 13 isn’t the only show to get the cancellation/renewal notice. Nikita will also get a final, six-episode season. And now I have “For Now” from Avenue Q stuck in my head.

The Tomorrow People, one of The CW’s many sci-fi series this fall.

That gets io9 to ask, “How did the CW become The go-to network for fantastical television?” Sure, its the child of the network that gave us Charmed and the network that debuted with Star Trek: Voyager (who eventually took turns airing Buffy and Rosewell) but it always had a mix of genres. Not only will the upcoming season feature more sci-fi and horror shows than any other network,...

Updated: Added new shows The 100, Famous in 12, Reign, Star-Crossed, and The Tomorrow People. The Catalina and The Next: Fame Is at Your Doorstep won't be back next season. Nikita and The Carrie Diaries have been renewed.

The smallest network has announced their schedule for the upcoming Falll 2013-14 season. New shows include The 100, Famous in 12, The Originals, Reign, Star-Crossed, and The Tomorrow People.

Though The CW programs just 10 hours a week, they've made significant revisions to their schedule with changes to every night. Not surprisingly, they're using their most popular shows -- The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, and Arrow -- to help launch new programming.

Nikita will return at some point with six final episodes.

Here's their press release:

The CW has posted clips for its new shows, and it looks like there will be plenty of supernatural-tinged angst to go around next season. Let's take a look at the new shows, all hour-long dramas.On Tuesdays, we've got The Originals, a spinoff of the CW's mega-popular The Vampire Diaries. Remember, every time someone on the CW gets punched, a vampire gets its wings. Here's the promo: And a clip: Wednesdays, after tank-top extravaganza Arrow, there's The Tomorrow People, about a guy who discovers he has super powers. And Thursdays, in the primo post–Tvd time slot is Reign, about the teen years of Mary, Queen of Scots. Come mid-season, the CW will also air Star Crossed, about human-alien conflict. And The 100, about a group of juvenile delinquents sent back to Earth after a nuclear holocaust.

Supernatural and Arrow wrapped up their latest seasons last night. The Vampire Diaries and Beauty and the Beast will do the same this evening.

Still, it's not too soon to look ahead, is it?

At this morning's Upfront Presentation in New York City, The CW unveiled a minute-long Sizzle Reel that offers our first (brief) glances at new dramas The Tomorrow People, Reign, The 100, Star-Crossed and The Originals.

What happens when a high school student falls in love with an alien?

That's the question at the center of Star-Crossed, which features Aimee Teegarden as Emery and Matt Lanter as Roman and tells the tale of two seemingly mismatched young lovers.
