The BBC’s recent fresh take on The Day Of The Triffids turns up on DVD.
So what does Matt make of it?
I, for one, welcome this.
In this adaptation, this is reconciled partly by dividing the two crises between the two episodes.
The effect of splitting Wyndhams ungainly double-concept plot in this way is highly satisfactory.
I was impressed by this adaptation and surprised by the negative reactions on Amazon.com.
The casting was perfect, especially Izzard who seemed to relish the role of the morally bankrupt Torrence.
Whats required is the more instant threat of the Triffids.
