Ooohh... if there's the slightest possible chance it might screen here (yeah, I'm optimistic!) I know I would like to see 'The Tripods' one (and B7, of course).

[vilakins]

Yes, that's the only other one I've seen. :-)

[imhilien]

Same here... I was always sad though that they never filmed the third book of the Tripods series. :-(

[vilakins]

I wonder why they didn't. I suppose the SFX got too expensive.

It was very annoying. The BBC had dumped Dr Who and put The Tripods in its slot, and then they dropped The Tripods as well, just as it was getting into its stride.

[vilakins]

I didn't realise that. Back then, it took years for a series to get to us. Now it's usually only months. :-)

Green Wing season 2 started tonight!
