The decommissioned aircraft carrier USS Valley Forge was used as the set, and the fictional spacecraft was named in its honour.

Ah The Tomorrow People. I didn't watch much of it as a kid (too complicated, my tiny mind could only cope with cops and robbers), but did get he box set a couple of years ago and am (slowly) working my way through it. I love the combination of dodgy yet theatrical acting, shoddy sets, excellent stories and childish gags... and playing "what do i know them from?" throughout.

https://www.lastexittonowhere.com/ - but I think the Silent Running one may have been end-of-line. It's the second one of that design I've bought and they don't always keep all the designs going.
www.nerdoh.com is another similar site, but I don't like their stuff as much as Last Exit To Nowhere. They are a bit more obvious in their references and go for the big pictures, whereas LETN give you stuff like this which is a bit more subtle:

U.F.O. was one of my favourites.
Commander Ed Straker's car has been found rotting in someone's garden. They won't sell it, but they have allowed it to be photographed, measured in detail, and moulds taken from the body. A replica is being built, and Edd China is involved in the project (friends with the guy building it). Ed Straker was cooler than a Cornetto in January.

Check out the story 'The Blue & the Green, episodes 1 & 2. You should be able to spot a very young Pauline Quirke as one of classroom kids!. I think Linda Robson may be there too.
Also, the TP's friend 'Chris' - featured in the story 'Secret Weapon' is now Eric Pollard in Emmerdale:

Zardoz was underrated if you ask me.
Actually this clip is better.

It's a strange film Zardoz. On the one hand, pretentious tosh, and dated too, yet compelling with a touch of greatness about it. If it's on telly I find myself watching it again. And the soundtrack consisting mainly of Beethoven's best symphony doesn't hurt either.
