The Day of the Triffids by JOHN WYNDHAM abridged in 14 instalments by DOREEN ESTALL
Read by David Ashford (1) Everyone recognised that triffid plants had unpleasant characteristics - like a stinging weapon that could kill a grown man. Still, as long as men were able to see, triffids were no great problem to control. But then came the night of 7 May, when something occurred which blinded most of the human race.
