A serial for broadcasting in six parts by Giles Cooper from the novel by John Wyndham
[Starring] Patrick Barr and Monica Grey

All London (and as it turned out later, all the world) watched the brilliant display of flashes lasting all night, as something - a comet or an artificial satellite - disintegrated over the whole sky. In the morning, they were all blind.
Bill Masen was in hospital with his eyes bandaged after a slight sting from a triffid, and so escaped. The triffids are plants - bred, hybridised and farmed by man for their valuable oils. The end-result is an unpleasant carnivorous growth, not only armed with a lethal whip-like sting, but also capable of lumbering from place to place on its stubby roots. It seems, too, to be able to communicate with its fellows by rattling three little projections on its stem. In ordinary times, triffids were kept well under control in their plantations, but now, with mankind virtually incapacitated..... Bill Masen, apparently the only sighted man left, goes out into the streets filled with groping, hungry, bewildered Londoners.
