Triffids!

Thanks to UK Gold I have been watching "Day of the Triffids" by John Wyndham produced by the BBC in 1981. It's riveting but a bit dated: the clothes in particular and especially the women's ghastly makeup. It's about time they re-did this classic book with modern special effects. Wyndham's books are fantastic in the extreme and should be given huge budgets to be made into TV series like this (a movie just wouldn't be long enough to cover all of his concepts.) I would especially like to see "Kraken Awakes" (known in North America as "Out of the Deeps"), one of the most terrifying books I have ever read.
