Day of the Triffids - classic 80s TV drama back on the small screen

If you happen to be in the UK, check out BBC4 on Sunday 5th July, which sees a re-run of the 1981 BBC adaptation of Jhn Wyndham's sci-fi classic, the Day of the Triffids.

It's not exactly packing the best special effects you'll ever see on your TV, but it is fairly faithful to the original novel, throwing in a distinctly 80s twist too, which should only add to the nostalgia. Check out a clip below - and add a note in your diary.
