I am – Hercules!!
“The Day of the Triffids” is about a species of mobile flora that develops a taste for delicious flesh after virtually every human on Earth is suddenly and unexpectedly rendered permanently blind.
It began in 1951 as a book by John Wyndham, became a movie in 1962, became a BBC miniseries in 1981 and has become a new 2009 miniseries that hits BBC One on Monday.
The new version was written by Patrick Harbinson (“ER,” “Law & Order”) and stars Dougray Scott as Bill Masen, Joely Richardson as Jo Playton, Brian Cox as Dennis Masen, Vanessa Redgrave as Durrant, Eddie Izzard as Torrence and Jason Priestley (!) as Coker.
To paraphrase Montgomery Scott, “Looks exciting!”
