  • one can only wonder how many triffids were flushed down the toilet after this show aired.

  • Apparently the Beeb is going to remake DOTT. I'm SO thrilled,because it's one of THE best British horror Sci-fi books of all time and finally they have the technology to make a truly convincing triffid,not something resembling a paper mache gladiola.

  • 2 dislikes German / 2 dislikes French - reaction - fuck them to hell! fucking duplicitous

  • I missed this as it was on when I was at cubs. 30 years on am still waiting..

  • @BNCA70 I agree, sometimes actual props are much more convincing than CGI sometimes, although CGI does have some advantages (i.e. it can do things actual props can't) and its disadvantages (i.e., it does look unrealistic).

  • This serial is fantastic. I watch it on youtube, but now i dont find it. Propably deleted? :-(

  • Fantastic theme music. I crapped myself when I was 13 watching this in the early 80s. . Despite comments the triffids looked like papier mache gladiola - I actually think they were more real than the computer-generated cartoons in the remake.

  • @nimbobular

    It's actually not too bad, EXCEPT everybody in it is so terribly middle class. I guess that's how the BBC was in the early 80s: every actor came from a similar upper-middle class template.

  • @Dukeoftruth

    It's a TV series, not a movie.

  • @blackwhimsy

    Just so long as they get good actors.

  • The third face looks like Nigel Kneale!

  • Every single time there's a new part in the DVD, it always shows the intro. Kind of annoying, but the story is interesting.
