I’ve been thinking about an old gem from Australian TV—Beyond 2000—and wondering if anyone else remembers it. For those who don’t know, it was a show that aired back in the late '80s and early '90s, and it was all about futuristic technology, groundbreaking inventions, and cool innovations that felt like something out of science fiction.

The show had a real "look ahead to the future" vibe, and they covered everything from robotics and space exploration to medical breakthroughs and environmentally friendly technology. It was the show to watch if you were into seeing what the next big thing might look like.

What I find interesting is how the show was later rebooted as Beyond Tomorrow in the 2000s. I was curious to see how it would handle the fast-moving pace of technology in the new millennium, and honestly, I feel like it tried to keep that original excitement, but with a more contemporary focus.

Anyone here remember watching it? Or maybe even Beyond Tomorrow? What are your thoughts on how it compared to the original? Did it live up to the legacy, or was it just a nostalgic attempt to recapture the magic?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

I remember Beyond 2000, even it's theme music.

I used to watch it nearly every week as a kid. I found it interesting.

I do remember in particular the segment on mobile phones. They were about the size of a brick and probably almost as heavy. But what amuses me when I look back on it was the host sitting in a car with a mobile phone and saying, "You can even talk to people while travelling!"

I don't know what the reception would have been like back then, heheh.
