I’m reliving my childhood with “The Tribe”

On amazon prime GrinGrin

Who remembers this show? I used to love it as a kid.

I’m finding it a tad silly but I’m still enjoying the storyline

You're making me want to get Prime!

Abibranning · 19/06/2019 18:26

Oh I loved the Tribe, Ebony was my favourite was it Trudy the one with the child she annoyed me

Lwmommy · 19/06/2019 18:27

Watched some of this when it came on a couple of months ago. The acting is shocking, way worse then I remember but still somehow compelling to watch.

Interested in this thread?

Yes the acting is pretty shocking GrinGrinGrin

I wish they would do a modern version with more grown up features. It could be a hit

And yes Trudy was the one with the baby

OMG my year is made

PurpleChai · 19/06/2019 18:34

I used to watch this every Sunday on Channel 5 without fail. Now got the theme tune stuck in my head!

Submariner · 19/06/2019 18:36

Oh my gosh yes - had a little bit of a crush (actually massive) on Caleb Ross/Lex.

Jimdandy · 19/06/2019 18:38

I thought I was the only one that had ever seen the Tribe! Massive plot holes but oh well still very enjoyable!

I didn’t like it when the Technos came it got a bit silly then but otherwise very enjoyable!

MrMeSeeks · 19/06/2019 18:42

Loved it, loved danni and she just vanished Hmm

WildForTheNight · 19/06/2019 18:42

YES! I've found my people! My sister and I were properly obsessed with it when it was first on. I saw it was on there but only watched the first episode- you're inspiring me to binge watch it now.

Look into the future, what doooo you seee...

' I really need to know now is there a place for me. If we're gonna survive the dream must stay alllliiiiiiivvvve'

strongswans · 19/06/2019 19:00

This has made my day! Thank you!

CarolineForbes · 19/06/2019 19:03

OMG I didn’t know this was on Prime. I need to relive my childhood obsession!

PracticalTacticalBrilliance · 20/06/2019 09:05

I was so excited when I saw this was on Prime! We used to love it so much, even had a couple of Tribe themed parties. I'm sure many of my teenage outfits were influenced by watching it.
I did try and explain it to my DH who had never seen it, but he's not been keen to watch it with me!

Otterses · 20/06/2019 09:26

Well, that's my evening sorted OP Grin big old binge.

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 20/06/2019 12:07

I LOVED this show! I remember being fuming at DMum who forgot to record it when we went on holiday once!

Thought I was the only one who ever heard of it!

aPengTing · 20/06/2019 12:12

I rewatched it all on amazon recently.
There are two books that have been written that finish up the show.
It’s one show I wish they’d reboot with characters like Ebony, Lex and Ram still in it but older (played by the same actors).

Deathraystare · 20/06/2019 12:13

I have it on DVD (blush. My guilty little secret!"

aPengTing · 20/06/2019 12:16

Does anyone remember Ocean girl? I’d love to watch that again.

Soubriquet · 20/06/2019 15:06

I have it on DVD (blush. My guilty little secret!"

I used to but what I love about it on prime it’s that it has subtitles.

POWER AND CHAOS!

Loved it, loved danni and she just vanished

YES, thank you! Why did no one seem to notice or care that she was gone? I seem to remember a passing comment that insinuated she was dead, and that was that. Almost 20 years on and I am still annoyed about it Hmm

Lwmommy · 20/06/2019 17:25

I remember ocean girl vaguely, another Ozzy one wasn't it with a quiet but self assured mermaid but not mermaid girl and her band of friends trying to solve the mystery of who she was,

nespressowoo · 20/06/2019 17:26

I am totally going to be watching this! I loved it!

ineedcoffeecoffeecoffee · 20/06/2019 17:39

Oh wow. I know what I’m watching tonight. I thought the story line went a bit odd for the last few seasons of it. But still watched everyone 🙈 I remember watching it through a very dotty channel 5. I loved Lex. I’ve now got “Look into the future, what do you see” playing in my mimd 😁

Soubriquet · 20/06/2019 17:42

Does anyone ever remember a program that I’m also sure played on a Sunday morning. No one else remembers it...

But two boys(?) would go through a mirror to a girl who lived in the past and would have adventures with her. I remember an episode where she became very sick because she cut herself and the doctor was going to use leeches but the boys convinced them to do something else
