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.

Oh yeah - Badenoch who said "he is the template"   the UK is not a sinking ship - it is a listing shi[p after years of mismanagement (and Brexit - lol. "the people are wise")  - your constant 26 Nov is like those religious cults in America who always have a date for the end of the world and always have an excuse when the date passes

    • More like a sinking ship than "the safest ship we have to choose from right now" . Gaff after Gaff after gaff, get calamity Starmer et al OUT at the first opportunity. You'll all soon see on November 26th when Reeves steers UK into an economic iceberg and the sinking really happens when our pockets get plundered by her, any which way she can take, take, take from us all.  We won't have anything left because the State will own and control everything, if you want to live under that type of regime, fine, but I don't, so get up and JUST SAY NO to Starmergedeon and Reevesageddeon.
