The Day of the Triffids

No introduction needed for this literary classic by John Wyndham, brought vividly to life by Douglas Livingstone's adaptation. John Duttine stars, and the BBC Visual Effects team excels, with monsters that knock into a cocked hat the Triffids in the Janette Scott/Howard Keel movie. On a recent viewing, I felt the series has dated, but it remains effective and Christopher Gunning's theme tune is easily one of the most unnerving you'll ever hear, thanks to the choral element.
