Those of us whose childhood was chilled by John Wyndham's Kraken and the one with the blond kids with glassy eyes, not to mention Nigel Kneale's Quatermasses in black and white, the ones with the wobbly cardboard sets, are completely baffled by tonight's genetic modification of the Triffids book. It was obviously made for the X-Box, X-Factor generation for plot is completely subservient to action and SFX.
It must have cost a fortune to make, but, like Wicker Man, it's going to become a cult classic of pure ham and misjudgement.
Can't wait to see the concluding part tomorrow - of Hamlet on Ice - the Musical.
