I thought it ok, I nodded off last night half way through, after taking night nurse for this infernal code.


It seemed pretty ok to me, the only annoyance being that it seemed to only deal with the first part of the book, but i thought it looked good, great use of locations and mainly it was entertaining fun as the lads have said.


But obviously encourage people to read the book which was one of my first great literary loves there under the shadow of the bomb at the turn of the 70/80s.

I thought it was OK. The triffids themselves were laughable, but that was always going to be the case. Izzard wasn't as bad as the cap'n suggests.


There's not a lot of point comparing it with the book. You can't read a book in 2 hours, while eating dinner on the sofa and drinking a bottle of wine.

Nah... Jason Priestley was worse, and the evil henchman guy was worse still. Joely Richardson was a bit hammy too.


Actually the only decent performances were from Brian Cox and Vanessa Redgrave.

    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
