Apparently "Eddie Izzard is in it" is enough for me to put movies in my queue

What do people think of the 2009 BBC version of Day of the Triffids?

I weatched the first episode on broadcast. Despite having iPlayer on my TV, and being something of a fan of both the book and previous adaptations when I was a kid, I strangely managed to miss the later episodes.

Very high production standards and budget, with an excellent cast. All wasted from what I saw. It's possible it got better, but reviews and blogs said otherwise.

Exactly what I was going to write.

I'd give it a miss, James.
