Day of the Triffids
|
|
Just discovered Pluto (WTF) has got a two-parter of this.
I'm sure I've already watched a good adaptation, but I can't remember when, and who did it.

I think Pluto is one of Channel 5's Yank TV partners

BBC I think in the 70s. All I can remember is that John Duttine starred. There was a really creepy radio adaptation that was on 4 extra a month ago. That was more in line with Night of the Living Dead in feel.

Judging by the accents and the cast (I'm shit at putting names to faces I recognise), this is a reshowing of a British adaptation.
I missed it first time out.

The remake is absolute wank. The best version is the John Duttine one. Apparently there's a version by Neil Cross, who wrote Luther, on the way. The book is brilliant.

I had this at school as a set text and The Midwitch Cuckoos. Village of the Damned is a fantastic movie espcially that scene with the shotgun.

I remember the early 80s tv version with the beardy bloke who was in everything back then, yeah it shit me up at age 6, laughable when you see the special effects now.
