Triffids Everywhere! The Day of the Triffids Part One
Triffids Everywhere! The Day of the Triffids Part One I think there is a long held belief that series cannot hold suspense if it has the usual BBC mix of film exteriors and videotaped interiors. I have heard people say it before and I think they are horribly wrong with this notion. One great example of this is the 1981 BBC series The Day of the Triffids . This production is approached in a way that says that this material is special and important. From the very first scene, there is not only a question of what is going on but there is some fear in what is happening. It was clear that BBC1 Controller Bill Cotton wanted to make sure this production was handled correctly. He gave the production over to David Maloney to produce who in turn gave the directing duties over to Ken Hannam. The partnership of Maloney and Hannam would give us a visual treat as we learn not only about Triffids but the human condition confronted by the unknown and impossible tragedy.
