It's true! It's really happening!!

21st February 2005!

For more news go here!

Fantastic!!

Worth seeing if only because my friends uncles garage was used to film a scene in.

WOW !!! I've been looking forward to this for ages, such a shame that it is such a long way off (I guess it's so people an put 28 days later out of their minds )

If you haven't read the book, go buy it now - also fantastic

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm incredibly happy! I remember watching this when I was ten, on a little B&W portable in my attic room. It scared the living hell out of me. Clack-clack-clack-clack.

It should be pointed out that the above is only a provisional release date at present so things could change. Given the wrangling that's gone on over Triffids for a number of years now this still may not happen . . .

Now listed on:

Amazon

Doesn't mean much but hopefully it's a step closer to having a copy in my DVD player

This is a double dose of good news on a gloomy sunday since the link you provided informed me that The Nightmare Man is also going to be available soon.

Ooooooh I'm back in my youth again. And it's tea time.

JJM

The confirmed release date has changed to the 4th April 2005.

Have to wait a little longer but that's no problem

You can read more here.

Lookie!!

That is so brilliant! Happiness!! So may childhood programmes on dvd now I could pop!

Roll on the 4th April

can't come soon enough

Amen!

WooHoo! My copy is in the post!

I expect a detailed review in 3-5 days Raven

I have only ever seen it up to the hero being tied up in a University basement or something like that...

I think there was a fire!

ORDERED!

ORDERED !!

Amazon recorded record pre-orders today for Day of the Triffids. The astounding coincidence is that everyone who ordered appears to be members of a Spaced Fan Club!

If you ordered from Amazon you were a mug - it's cheaper on Play!

I was ordering something else, so the shipping was free...

Damn, you saved 24p over me - the Mug . . .

Still, if you are using Amazon's free postage I should have my copy before you!

Play.com is superior in all delivery aspects. So true.

I survived how long without Day of the Triffids... an extra couple of days is not going to cause suicide!

How about an extra few days and Raven rubbing your face in each one

Ordered my copy today although I already have a copy I taped from Uk Gold some years ago. Will be nice to have a sharp copy though

Yeah, and a copy you won't have me borrowing every few months as well!

My copy is now sat on my desk beside me!

I expect mine in a day or so!

Bloody excellent that was, I'd recommend it to anyone!

Did you watch it back to back?

I watched it all the way through in one sitting - took just over 2½ hours.

I know what Saturday afternoon will bring!

So has anyone else got their copy yet?

Just in case anyone is interested, BBC Four are showing the 80's version of Day of the Triffids, starting this Sunday at 7.00pm.

I'm interested Raven, thanks for the heads up. I'm always up for a re-watch.

Do you know if it will be on the Iplayer?

No idea about iPlayer, but I do know they are showing two parts back-to-back.

Quality. Thanks for the info Raven. I've never seen this but it's one of my favourite books so I can't wait.

You won't be disapointed, it's a very good adaptation!

Bonus points for spotting a young Gary "2.4 Children" Olsen! (in episode 3!).

and episode 6!

I always love how stupid the religious lot are in Triffids.

That was t'riffic stuff!
