Day of the Triffids credits

John Dutine was excellent in this, as he was in the adaptation of great expectations which the bbc put out around the same time (featured a particularly rancid version of Miss Haversham's wedding table!). D.O.T.T. was very frightening! This opening sequence must have scared a whole generation. I really liked the music. Sounds like Ligeti?

Does anyone know WHERE ON EARTH I can get a copy of this movie on Region 1 or Region 0 DVD? Even a copy will do. I just want to see it. I don't care much at all for the U.S. version of this movie, but have read great things about the BBC series. I live in the U.S. I don't want to have to purchase a region-free DVD just to watch this movie. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

People always thought this was to do with man eating plants. Completely wrong. Its about the old expression "in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king." The plants were an interesting sideline though. This series was excellent and I'm surprised hasn;t been re-made althoug the film 28 days later is a complete rip off of this book.

Such a great show!!, 28 days later "borrowed" a lot from this story. Was on real late in New Zealand when it came out.. so even scarier.eerererrr..

the most terrifying thing i ever saw on tv when i was a kid, i think it was on straight after blankety blank so you were lurd into a relaxed mood until this began!!
