Scifi and Fantasy Forum: Television: Early 70's British sci-fi TV show

Hi,
Growing up in England I remember watching two sci-fi shows. One of them was about a group of kids, maybe early teens, all I can remember is that they could teleport themselves. Can't remember if it was psychic or through a belt they wore. Trying to remember the name of the show.
The other show scared the piss out of me and I couldn't watch it. All I can remember is that a spaceship crashed on Earth and a youth walked out of it. I think he had mirrored eyes. I want to say that the name of the show was "Sky", but I cannot find any reference to it.
If anyone has any idea on the names of either of these two TV shows I would really appreciate it.
Many thanks,
Steve.

That first one you mentioned with the kids jaunting (teleporting) is called "The Tomorrow People", the first 6 seasons are available on DVD in the UK. It gets a bit dodgy around season 4 though.
Don't know the second one, sorry.

Yep, you were right, the second show you mentioned was called SKY, here's some info on it:
The star of this extremely eerie series was Marc Harrison, then 17, as an unidentified alien entity sent to Earth on an undisclosed mission. He befriends local teenagers who discover him buried alive in the woods, the victim of earthly elements (the wind, the trees) trying to drive him away. He seeks the Juganet, but other websites will tell you why... The series was created by Bob Baker and Dave Martin, and ran in seven episodes from 07/04/1975 to 19/5/1975. Sadly it is not complete in the archives
You can see the opening of those 2 shows here: http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/
