Day Of The Triffids rewatch: episodes 5 and 6
trevor travis
The episodes: Episodes 5 and 6 (1981 version)
The date: Wednesday, March 15th, 2023
The time: 7.45pm and 8.15pm UK time respectively

It's a while since I watched this, and it's been truly excellent, as well as rather chilling in places. Let's see if the final two episodes are as strong as the previous four.

I realise it's a windy day, but has anyone else noticed the bushes moving more than they usually do recently?

Hi, TT. Yes, our bushes move a lot, but then there are deer somewhere around...it might just be them. How's things?

Episode 5 is only 27 minutes long, so we'll stick to starting Episode 5 at 1945 and Episode 6 at 2015.

Would it help if we start episode 6 at 20.20 instead of 20.15? We can do that.

Where are the people who were blind before? They would be a lot better off than most.

My cat is giving me grief because, having not spent the day stroking her, I am still not stroking her.

Not sure if I could stay religious after a disaster like that!

My cat is following her usual evening routine of sleeping in an old paper bag on my bed. She only does this in the evenings, though. She's not really a bag lady.

Maurice Colborne is great in this - so sad he died just a few years after this.

This singing is very reminiscent of school assemblies.

When you can't feed those who you have, why be so determined to breed, breed, breed, and insist on reducing women to sprogging machines?
