re: Day of the Triffids
Could be good but as only a two parter it won't get the chance to really develop.
I wonder if there is a new end of the human world scenario that the TV companies could work on rather than remaking all the good (and maybe not so good) stuff?

re: Day of the Triffids
Fantastic. I remember the last series as a kid. Very scary when you're only 11!

Just as long as they don't pull the stupid - 'let's kill them with seawater' crap.

I think that this is the way that the world will end - but unfortunately it doesn't really make for gripping TV viewing!

re: Day of the Triffids
Is there no such thing as an original idea anymore?

It might not be that. Think about it, established fans of the story, new technology to make it look even better, ok it's the lazy way of doing things but it's also pretty smart.

re: Day of the Triffids
Well it is a classic SF story.Wyndham was a terrific story teller and people keep returning to his work again and again..I just wish they might turn to his other works rather than use the Triffids and the MidWich Cuckoos over and over..
The Chrysalids is a wonderful post apocolyptic story which has barely ever been used except in radio and The Kraken Awakes is a very intelligent invasion story..Both deserve as much attention as the first two.
