Guaging old shows

[trickykitty]

I'm looking at txtriffidranch mostly, as he is quite expert in these old shows, but if anyone else has info/input, let me know.

I came across the names of a few older TV shows and I'm trying to find out how much effort should be put into trying to find and watch them. It would be a casual leisure thing, but if even that would be wasteful for any of these, please let me know.

Invasion Earth
(not to be confused with Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2050 A.D.)
The Tomorrow People (original)
The Tomorrow People (newer)
Timeslip
Quartermass

Invasion Earth: the miniseries was truncated and run on the Skiffy Channel back in 1998 or 1999 (I've been trying to forget), and it could have been a good series. I'd say it's your call.

The Tomorrow People: when even Peter Davison admits that it's a bad Doctor Who clone, that tells you all you need to know. I remember when Nickelodeon just started out circa 1981, and it was running this show three times a day because it couldn't afford much of its own programming.

As for Quatermass, anything in the series is gold. Get it if you can.

Any ideas on Timeslip?

Not a clue. Sorry.
