Was it just me, or did anyone else wath The Day of The Triffids thinking 'what they need is a Trend Airshield Pro!'?

I found it a little difficult to believe the whole planet went blind - wouldn't the folks on the "night-side" of the planet be out of trouble? :lol: And what about everyone on the underground? :lol:
Wasted another couple hours, anyway,
Philly :lol:

Triffids, being plants, arent equiped to "eat" dead bodies - the modus vivendi would be to sting the victim to death then sink their roots into the ground next to him and wait for him to decay , which would take months.

Anyone ever read any of his other offerings?
Roy.

I think it's all too easy to pick holes in these things rather than just enjoy them.

Hi Roger
I am a huge Ian M Banks fan and have read most of his scifi books. Just finished Matter for the second time and am starting Inversions.
Favourite so far is Player of Games but Against a Dark Background runs it close. How about you|?
