Del, if you use Torrents at all, the two episodes have already been 'shared'

The Day of the Triffids is a rather famous novel by John Wyndham (mostly in Sci-fi literary circles). Probably one of the most famous of the early (ish) Sci-fi (1950's onwards) books and influenced apparently by War of the Worlds.

Some rather famous personalities in this BBC adaption include Vanessa Redgrave and Eddie Izzard.

I thought it was OK for an adaptation and nicely brought it up-to-date and relevant for today.

I found the first one more dark (I guess it was in the early 80's ??) but ntl it was well worth a watch.

The first, old film has been public domain, but has since vanished. I am not certain it is in fact public domain or not, i.e. creative commons, but if anyone has imdb pro access they can check it out (let me know, I have some other stuff to check as well). Day of the Triffids is available on Youtube (mini series in parts). The 1962 movie is this.
