Bill Masen wakes in his hospital bed, eye bandaged. Something is normally incorrect: it’s unusually quiet and no you have arrive to his room. When he removes his bandages he discovers a world which has transformed utterly. A lot of the population are totally blind – only those who didn’t watch the night time sky can still discover. And, as rules and order breakdown, a new menace shows up – Triffids, walking carnivorous plants that may kill a human being with their lethal sting. For Bill and the other survivors, it’s today a battle to remain alive. Gary Watson superstars as Expenses, with Barbara Shelley as Josella in these six stirring shows. Also amongst the cast are Peter Sallis, Marjorie Westbury and some titles familiar to Doctor Who aficionados: Peter Pratt, Christopher Bidmead and David Brierley. First released in 1951, John Wyndham’s novel became his best-known function and a vintage of 20th Hundred years fiction.
