War Of The Worlds (BBC TV series)

[Neil]

Well well well... Only just spotted this...

Let's just hope it's better than the Day Of The Triffids adaptation they did a few years back!

Lovely. I'm in.

Period setting is correct. Paddy Considine. Looks good.

[shootemindehead]

I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed with this.

[Neil]

Initial reviews from a day or two on IMDB were not good :(

[shootemindehead]

I've seen the first episode and it's very poor indeed and it's really nothing like the HG Wells book.

[Moon Knight]

You got red on you.

I've seen the first episode and it's very poor indeed and it's really nothing like the HG Wells book.

So it's another Day Of The Triffids f*** up again?

[shootemindehead]

I can't recall how bad 'Day of the Triffids' was, but remember not liking it. So, maybe yes?

Hey, kinda off topic, but did anyone catch the BBC Watership Down series? I love the film, is it worth a watch?

[Neil]

It's on BBC 1, Sunday 17th, 9pm. Really not expecting much other than some typical modern over glammed up w@nk TBH!

This clip underlines that concern... Basically super wuper duper magic powers rather than simply grounded solid story telling...

How do I put this politely?

It was utter, utter, mind crippling, shite.

[Neil]

Well, that was all a bit needlessly shallow and mediocre wasn't it... Probably the second episode was the strongest.
