An outstanding adaptation of an outstanding novel.......2008-03-10
The BBC's 1981 adaptation of John Wyndham's marvellous sci fi novel is one of the best dramatizations ever made, certainly the best adaptation of a science fiction novel. Updating it to the (then) present day was a wise move but such is the timelessness of Wyndham's novel that the changes are minimal. There's a real sense of foreboding about the serial, the first episode in particular sets up the apocalyptic scenario brilliantly with a palpable sense of unease and hidden menace. An eerie, oppressive atmosphere runs throughout the whole story, with the Triffids a constant threat lurking in the background. The plants themselves are fairly effective, although somewhat cumbersome. However, clever editing and scary sound effects make them seem alot more threatening. The acting is first rate with John Duttine being superb in the lead role. The programme has aged pretty well and has a good pace to it, holding the attention from start to finish and leaves a strong impression at the end. Highly recommended.
A gardeners nightmare. (Perambulating plants that don't like being pruned.), .......2007-11-11
Bill Masen has been stung and temporarily blinded by a Triffid, he doesn't yet know how lucky he's been!
The Triffids themselves (perambulating plants with a nasty sting.)are well realized by the FX team, and this is certainly a more faithful version then that ghastly 1962 film.
The author derived the story from two sources,walking home late one windy night he observed the trees and hedgerows blowing across the road and thought "by gosh,those'd be nasty things if they could sting you".
The other source was his earlier short story,"The Puff Ball Menace"(1933).
~~~~
As with most of the stories from John Wyndham Parkes Lucas Benyon Harris, his main interest was in how ordinary people would react to the odd or unknown. It was never the concept, but the Human element that interested him,and that gives his characters great believability.
HG Wells had always used his stories to inject some of his own opinions on the mores and manners of society in his time, and John Wyndham(A HG Wells fan himself) did the same.
(He was always suspicious of certain East European countries, and this was reflected in some of his novels.)
In the book and this TV version,the Triffids don't come from Space,but are genetically engineered by Man.(Unlike that film.)
Once you start reading one of his stories you won't be able to stop,the trouble is he had so many Pen-names,
John Benyon, Lucas Benyon, John Beyon, Johnson Harris, John Harris, Lucas Parkes.

Excellent adaption, chilling and well acted, but with some weaknesses.......2007-07-08
I didn't see this six-part series on TV on its original 1981 broadcast, but having recently re-read and enjoyed the original book over again, I thought I'd give the BBC mini-series a try. Overall I was pretty impressed.
It is admirably faithful to the book, despite being set in the 1980s instead of the 1950s. The screenplay is very well done and the acting is excellent, in particular John Duttine and Maurice Colbourne. The staging is quite theatrical in parts, in the way that certain scenes are allowed to play out for several minutes in the hands of some quality actors without having to be accompanied by music or fast editing. It all adds together to a very atmospheric and chilling post-apocalyptic setting. The sense of emptiness and tragedy is realised here in a way that other "end of the world" stories often fail at. There are some genuinely chilling and uncomfortable moments, such as the scene with the Teenage Girl in episode 4.
On the down side, the Triffids themselves are badly dated in special effects terms. They're very reminiscent of some of the ridiculous monsters from Jon Pertwee-era Doctor Who stories- inflexible fibreglass constructions that are clearly being wobbled by an operator. Thankfully the Triffids are really bit-part players in Wyndham's story and so they don't dominate (and therefore ruin) the story-telling. There are other tell-tale BBC Drama symptoms, such as hollow-sounding interior sets and some rather wooden supporting actors.
On the DVD sleeve it claims that "Day Of The Triffids" is considered an influence on the 2002 zombie movie "28 Days Later", and that claim is certainly justified. All you need to do is change 'killer plant' to 'zombie' and you've got lots of plot parallels- a confused (and bearded) man wakes up one morning in an empty hospital in a deserted London, finally manages to meet up with a band of survivors; he realises that the problem is a man-made mutation, and then, accompanied by a woman and a young girl, he heads out of London only to struggle with a military force that has 'gone rogue', and so on.
The DVD comes with a "viewing notes" booklet which is a brief history of Wyndham's story and of the TV production. It's got some interesting notes but has been padded out with some less useful information- why would I want to know that John Duttine's contract was agreed on a Wednesday? But I guess somebody might.
A few weaknesses of a low budget make this an imperfect piece of drama but still chilling and very powerful. Recommended.
Triffid-rific!.......2006-11-27
As a big John Wyndham fan, I watched this with a good knowledge of the book.
It is very true to the book and I enjoyed it immensely. When this was on in the '80s it famously made kids scared of plants! I think the actually triffids were realised on telly in a realistic way. Yes they looked a little bit naff - but if the triffids were actually real I still reckon they'd look like they do in this series.
Lots of suspense and superd acting make this a classic for anyones DVD collection.
The lampost round the corner from my house sounds just like the triffids, when the wind makes it rattle - it's nothing to do with the DVD I know, and I'm sure it's of little importance and of no consequence to anyone reading this, but I thought I'd mention it!
Cheers to the BBC!!!!.......2006-08-19
What an excellent series!!! Obviously being on the other side of the Atlantic, I never saw this. So 25 years later I got to catch up when I ordered this DVD. I'm glad that I did. I had seen the 1962 movie adaption but it wasn't until I heard the 6 part BBC radio series that I had any idea that the movie wasn't even close to the book. Then I saw that the BBC did this series and I took a chance and ordered it. It is EXCELLENT!!!!! I only wish that we here in the States took more chances on shows like this.

Very clearly - NOT A CLASSIC!.......2007-01-31
Most 1950s/60s SF films are looked upon as 'classic'. This version based upon the terrific book by John Wyndham - is anything but classic. To start with, the finale, ruined by putting a 'Get out clause' ending, something that Wyndham's book doesn't do. I read somewhere, and I think it was Andrew Pixley's notes for the BBC DVD, that when the distributors of this film, had a showing of this before it's release, Wynham attended - and walked out out at the end in embarrasment.
Howard Keel does his best in the role of the hero Bill, but is lost under the weight of what is clearly a hack job, and one half expects him to burst into song, ala 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers'. The triffids are terrible and you can hear the wheels underneath them - trundling along. Also they clearly look like they are made out papier mache. This particular release isn't that impressive either, the picture is very grainy, and the sound isn't too hot either.
All in all not a great effort in terms of putting Wyndham on the big/small screen. if you want a better version that sticks to the apocalyptic story very well, then get the BBC version from 1981. Other Wyndham works I would recommend would be the film version of 'The Midwich Cuckoos', filmed as 'The Village of the Damned' in 1960, although forget the dreadful 1995 version with the late Christopher Reeves, which transports the story to New England in the USA, and tries to turn the story into some kind of Devil child scenario - very dull indeed!
giant broccoli.......2006-02-03
i remember seeing this series on t.v. when i was just a kid and it scared the living beejaysus outta me.i cant see what all the fuss was about now.you can see many similarites in the opening scenen with other horror films such as 28 days later, the stand,the crazies etc. there aren't any jump out of your seat moments but the atmosphere and exposure of a selfish human nature in a "survival of the fittest" setting is dark and is in itself a horror. the triffids themselves are a new species of plant that came to earth via a comet and are like big lumps of broccoli who poison and then eat their victims.99% of the population of the world is blind after a comet burned out an optical nerve in the eye, and therefore the human race is being hunted down by plants (who move at 2mph!!). i think it would take an ingenious scriptwriter to modernise the triffids story as it would probably look more like a comedy.get the bbc version instead!!
Iýll get you and your little dog too.......2005-12-20
One day a comet came by and a meteorite left off a triffid. So we are familiar with the little cuties. They never bothered anyone.
Little did we know that the next comet would bring a hungry version of triffid. Looks like the new one like snacking on cute girls and little doges.
What do we care if a few slow moving plants are roaming around? No wait, the meteor shower has blinded most of the population. Now we have a problem as a plant that munches on people and propagates like rabbits can now feed without having to exercise.
This is more than just an eating story. There is also a lonely sailor that escaped being blinded while he was in the hospital. How he builds a family from acquaintances on his mission to regroup. Mean while back at the lighthouse on an island a burned out lush scientist has found a mission to bump off the triffids before he becomes triffid chow.
This is one of those movies that would have been more dramatic in Black and white.
The only draw back on this movie is the female in the lighthouse screams and screams and screams. Them she hears something and does not want to wake up her hubby so she walks right up to the poor triffid and screams at it. I look like the poor thing lost its footing.
Again this is a pale reflection of an excellent book. Also to be politically correct the triffids that were genetically produced in Russia in the book now mysteriously come from a comet to let the Russians off the hook. However the movie captured the essence. And it is necessary to watch for cultural literacy. And it is just down right fun.
Wyndham turns in his grave..........2004-01-02
I haven't seen this on DVD, only in small screen format, so I shall limit my comments to the film itself. Those who have read the book (and any fan of the genre will have done) will be sorely disappointed by the film.
It bears little to no resemblance to the original. The triffids look completely different from all the book's descriptions and illustrations, the plot doesn't take place in the same setting as the book and the only thing which is constant is the explanation of the blindness of most of the population. As ever, the abiding memory is the ending. While not wishing to give spoilers, suffice to say it is typical of Hollywood and completely misrepresents the point of Wyndham's original novel.
As an example of the influence of Hollywood on classic sci fi it stands alone. Unfortunately, that comment is not intended to be positive.
DON'T BUY THIS DVD.......2003-07-03
I'm not going to discuss the film itself. It's a classic.
I do want to discuss this DVD though. I have almost 600 DVD's, from movies made on a shoestring to big budget. And they ALL look better than this DVD. VHS tape far outperforms what we have here. It's a disgrace this one was released. I don't know where they got the transfer from - but this does not even make a good coaster. Seriously, it's is unwatchable.
The guy who gave it three stars must not have seen this DVD. Screw the extras, I want to be able to se the film! You can't here. Forget this!
