Bill Nighy, Barbara Shelley and Peter Sallis are among the cast in six classic BBC Radio dramatisations of stories by one of Britain's most popular science fiction authors. 'The Day of the Triffids', first broadcast in 1968, is set in a world in which most people have been left blind after a meteor shower, and lethal carnivorous triffids are roaming the land. 'The Kraken Wakes', dramatised for radio in 1998, is a gripping story of monsters from the deep, alien invasion and ecological disaster.

Nice Collection of Thought-Provoking Sci-Fi Tales
Revisado: 02-26-21
Nice introduction to John Wyndham's works. All of the longer stories had a nice combination of depth and 'scariness.' The shorter story, Survival, somewhat had me wishing that it had been extended somehow, because it had interesting premises that never got to be fleshed out enough to be considered too worthwhile.
My main criticism of the audio recordings themselves are that oftentimes the actors' voices would be muddled to the point that I could not recognize them. Since the 'podcast' had already taken the liberty of paraphrasing and summarizing various passages from the book, not being able to hear any lines at all meant one would be missing out quite a bit on what the book had tried to get across.

On the Isle of Wight, a colony of survivors wakes to a world plunged into darkness. Before long, the triffids, thought safely out of the way on the mainland, attack.... In John Wyndham’s classic best seller The Day of the Triffids the world has been overwhelmed by killer plants. As the novel ends, Wyndham’s narrator scientist Bill Masen is escaping, with his wife and four-year-old son, to the Isle of Wight where a small colony of survivors is holding out. Simon Clark’s sequel picks up the story 25 years on.

Night of the Triffids Actually About Triffids
Revisado: 12-18-20
The Night of the Triffids was a lot easier to engage in than The Day of the Triffids was for me. Maybe that was because the book was actually written in the 21st century instead of a few years after WWII ended, or maybe it was because the story is set a lot closer to present-day (1970s) than Day's story was (same time it was written), but something made it a lot easier to keep up with and remain interested in. The titular Triffids also played a much more significant role in the plot this time around, so I felt a lot more like I was 'getting what I paid for.' The book also addressed racial and class divides. This made it somewhat more relevant to 'the times' as well as easier to relate to, especially for me.

This full-cast drama, part of BBC Audiobooks' Classic Radio Sci-Fi series, is based on the classic post-war 'science fantasy' novel which made John Wyndham famous, and whose appeal endures to this day. Giles Cooper's six-part adaptation stars Gary Watson, Barbara Shelley and Peter Sallis, with appearances from Doctor Who names Peter Pratt, Christopher Bidmead and David Brierley. Divided by blindness and societal breakdown, humanity is at the mercy of the carniverous Triffids....

Day of the Triffids not Actually about Triffids
Revisado: 12-08-20
It was a fairly quick finish, so it was easy to commit to, but the so-called titular Triffids did not really factor into the plot as much as one might think. It was still an interesting take on a sci-fi apocalyptic scenario, but I was hoping to see more plant action in one where plants take over the world.
