Random post time… It’s interesting what you spot when you’re watching a drama in HD on the TV. The BBC recently aired The Day of the Triffids, a rework of the John Wyndham book.
I thought it’d be worth a quick “seen on the telly” post to point out the Madbull AGX Launcher and other assorted props from a familiar source that appeared throughout the second episode; it’s also a pretty decent drama if you’ve not had a chance to see it. You can grab the episodes on BBC iPlayer here if you are in the UK. If you’re outside the UK IP address range and were looking to watch it then I’m sure a quick search on a somewhere like IsoHunt.com might help…
The production is a two part post-apocalyptic drama based on the original book and stars Dougray Scott, Joely Richardson, Eddie Izzard, Jason Priestley and Brian Cox. The world’s population is blind (well most of them) and there’s large man eating plants out and about.
Strangely in a country where firearms are comparatively rare everyone gets tooled up in a matter of minutes… I’d have gone for some cans of Round Up at the local hardware store myself. ;)
