  • "A terrible catastrophe has struck the population of Earth: almost everyone on the planet has been rendered blind by the arrival of a bright comet and its debris lighting up the darkened skies, but the brightness has caused permanent eye damage. A man who was unable to watch the spectacular but deadly-free firework display, finds himself in a nightmarish world where he believes himself to be the only sighted person left. Classic BBC adaptation from 1981."
  • "Intelligent plants terrorize Earth's population after a meteor shower strikes. As the Triffids destroy Britain, Bill works with his father to clone a genetic mutation which will sterilise them all. Bill's future with Jo is wrenched apart with the arrival of Torrence from a London which has been overwhelmed. To escape, they will have to run the gauntlet between Torrence and the Triffids."@en
