I’d seen the most recent (2009) BBC adaptation of DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS once before. I had to psych myself up to watch it again.
Back in the day, with only 3 TV channels and before the home video revolution, the BBC adaptation of TRIFFIDS occupied the primetime.
The first screen adaptation of John Wyndham’s DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS was released in 1963, was also known as INVASION OF THE TRIFFIDS.
David Moody looks at Night of the Triffids - Simon Clark's respectful sequel to Wyndham's original which has recently been re-released.
I was recently asked "which book would I like to be buried with?" by Horror Reanimated. My answer was John Wyndham's The Day of the Triffids.
