for anyone that hasn't noticed yet, the shadow under the tree forms a pentogram.

@DalekBass Pentagram

[DalekBass]

@stainshield . I stand corrected. lol

Never ever heard this version before and didn't even know this existed. Brilliant piece of music - it's very haunting and so recognisable.

Just a shame ATV went belly up and we didn't get the promised 2nd series.

[DalekBass]

@cdstum. I would have loved a second series. Guess we will have to be content with Hammer house of mystery & suspense!!! I wonder if hammer would still be around if they hadn't poored all their resources into Raise the titanic?

First time I've heard the full version, and I saw the whole series in 1980. How did you come by this soundtrack?

[DalekBass]

@j4wn . This was released as a single when the show went live. I have also seen it on certain tv theme compilation albums.

Nothing beats 80s soundtracks!

[slimboy1927]

can anyone tell me where i can see the full original 80's series "day of the triffids" the one with john dutane in i missed it on a re-run on bbc 4 and seesaw the tv and movie streaming site had it, due to poor response they went bust probably due to their lack promoting them selves and their site is now long gone.

[slimboy1927]

you can catch the series on the horror channel in the uk on freesat and sky all 13 episodes have already been screened and due for a second outting late march early april itv showed it 2010 -11 then itv sold it to the horror channel, i hear you can catch it on itv i player, check the horror channels website for full listings and theres big talk of them showing the complete tails of the unexpected series...nice if they do.

Aw brings back such good memories of when I was a small kid and T.V was excellent! Always looked forward to watching the Hammer stories, I used to get excited for them coming on. Love this music, never heard this full version before, Thanks!! ; - )

@DalekBass that pentagram is actually real as it's still at the house and the tree in the middles is still there today. It has flowers growing inside the triangles that form the pentagram shape. I went to a wedding reception at the house around 3yrs ago - I was more interested in exploring the house than the reception

Great post. Never knew there was a full version of this. Thanks.

Fantastic !!!

Musica linda, me arrepiei ouvindo ela!

i still recall.... i was in junior school when this first aired.

somehow persuaded my parents to let me stay up to see a couple of episodes - there was a ' cool ' kid in class whose parents let him stay up as long as he liked who saw them all ( these days called crap parents ).

saw charlie boy and it was the most terrifying thing ever - as was the hitchhiker episode.

then bought the dvd box set years later and found them tame yet great - such is the passage of time.
