Powers is a British science fiction television series first broadcast in 2004 on BBC One. Produced by Chris Le Grys and directed by Emma Bodger and Brian Farnham for BBC Children's, the series was created by Jim Eldridge, who wrote episodes alongside co-writers Stephen Hallett, Christopher Wicking, Carolyn Sally-Jones, and John Jackson.
Centring around two teens with telepathic, telekinetic, and extrasensory psychic powers, Powers was promoted as a children's version of The X-Files,[1] although many regarded it as a successor to The Tomorrow People.[2][3] It ran for one 13-episode season, and was also broadcast in Australia. Powers has never been commercially released.
