Day of the Triffids (NEW version)
Simon (Dark Angel)
Its basically the same as the Survivors remake, but with dangerous phormiums, as opposed to dangerous rhubarb.
If you missed it, its currently on the BBC iplayer
Better than the 80s version, in which the actors were more wooden than a petrified forest, and better than the 1960s film, as we dont have to listen to Howard Keel singing "Bless your Beautiful Hide" (or was that a differant film?)

I thought it was TOO similar to the Survivors remake. The first part
was deadly dull, the second part cheesily predictable. Liked Eddie
Izzard, though! I can't believe the two main dramas on tv over xmas
were yet more tiresome adaptations of Triffids and Turn of the Screw.
Are there no original ideas left?

I thought it was entertaining enough. It seemed though that great chunks
of the script were removed to reach the three hour running time. One
minute Coker is in charge then all of a sudden Torrence is running the
show is one example. It might have worked better as a mini-series rather
than the two episode format.

I thought the 80's version was terrific--the only thing I liked about
the 50's version was the poster. (A friend of mine, not a movie
aficionado, had one on her wall.)

i rather liked it - they managed to make the triffids half way scary which
is surely a big achievement.
still rather daft though - and eddie izzard managed to get himself into
power rather easily.
