Triffids

Gosh, well found (this post) Nick.

I've Sky+'d so yet to see it.

Funny thing is, I never watched the original - was just 'aware' of it.

I remember the original gave me nighmares

Are there guns in this movie? If so, where they got them from?

That was my first main agenda, where did they get all their guns from?

I saw Eddie Izzard pinch some from a Police vehicle, fell asleep shortly afterwards though.

The original was a book, people... one of those things made out of cardboard, paper and ink

The scene when he said "Help yourself to guns" (triffid guns in this case) whilst gesturing at a storeroom full of them at the triffid farm was a bit of a giveaway as well.

Still, we now know who would fail miserably when civilisation collapses. "Oh dear, where could I get guns from when every Police station and military base in the land is completely undefended?"

That's one of those things you open, then your lips start moving - right?

Actually, I was referring to the original BBC TV series.

Yes, that's a good idea - once the disaster strikes you'd try to get firearms from like the only people who have them and who also were trained to use them. Might as well shoot yourself, oops - you'd need a gun for it also!

As the initial premise of the story is that 99.9999% of the human race has been struck blind overnight, including the Police, you would encounter remarkably little resistance.

You really should acquaint yourself with the story before attempting to criticise it
