Remember that, stared a young Jeremy Irons. Though I remember thinking that the trailer he was pulling must have been awful heavy. Was good though, a BBC Play For Today I think.

This is a kids T.V show from the early 90's, very apt for today's computer generation. Terrified me then terrifies me now

Give us a clue?

English or US?

What can remember about where it was shot? Can you recall any of the actors or characters?

It was English series far as I remember, that's about all I can remember really Red, it's a long time ago now. It's very annoying.

Looking forward to that one for sure, British or Hollywood?

Studied this book in English at school. Cracking story. Going to have to find a copy of that.

Triffids is good, but my favourite Wyndham book is 'Web' (predictably). To this day it remains the only believable 'spiders as a monster' story that I have encountered.

Doh! My bad it was Anthony Andrews not Jeremy Irons. (Watched it again last night.) I had them mixed up in my head from Brideshead Revisited. (Which was also a great book and TV series.)
