Does anybody remember that really awful BBC seires called Tripods from the 1980s/90's. based on the book but it was dreadful.

Peter

Don't remember that but i remember the also awful 'Day of the Triffids'. Low budget and bad acting. Bit like the 'V' tv program

[Peter Gillson]

Al -
I remember Day of the Triffids with John Duttine in the lead role, I loved it and even have it in DVD! Likewise I remember enjoying V, well at least the first series, it did get a bit silly later on.

Just goes to show - you can't please al lthe people ...

Never got around to watching Tripods but remember enjoying the books when I was an early teenager.
Agree V went downhill.

Always remember the many complaints on “points of view” about the lack of “tripods” in “tripods”......funnily enough I don’t really remember the program though...

[Bugatti Fan]

No definite date given still as yet. Still keeping an eye open.

[Mini Me]

Still very interested, keep me posted. Thanks, Rick H.

[Bugatti Fan]

After all the hype, what a disappointment it was!

[AlanG]

I thought it was ok. Better than watching some of the other 'normal' rubbish on the tv

[Tim Marlow]

I thought the period setting and effects were pretty good, but the script, characterisation, and story were very weak. Too much twenty first century sensibility coming out of the mouths of Edwardian era people...the battle on the beach was excellent though.

[Guest]

It was awful.

[Gary MacKenzie]

I have yet to watch it due to the ''reviews'' i saw , or rather the headlines of the reviews

[Guest]

I watched the first episode when it was on BBC last year, and I think the second as well, but skipped the last because I just CBAd with it. Could have been really good, but wasn’t.
