I thought the original film was excellent,although possibly tame by today's standards. Will have a look, but Eddie Izzard puts me off a bit.

The Day of the Triffids
Season 1 Episode 1 of 2
Two-part apocalyptic drama, starring Dougray Scott. In the not-too-distant future, humanity's search for a renewable energy source has led to the discovery of triffids, a crop that can be grown for fuel but has a life of its own. However, when a solar storm strikes and blinds billions, the plants find their way out of captivity and begin rapid breeding. With Joely Richardson, Brian Cox, Eddie Izzard, Jason Priestley and Vanessa Redgrave
