[edit] Notes and corrections

• The Day of the Triffids Film on Google Video From the intro played in the podcast, obviously not that faithful to the book.
• A new two part TV adaptation is coming to the BBC.
• An XKCD velociraptor comic.
• Another XKCD velociraptor comic.
• And another one.

If you enjoyed Wyndham's Day of the Triffids, as I did, be advised that Night of the Triffids is not a true "sequel." It is not written by John Wyndham, and differs significantly in plot, dialogue and characterization. In my experience, if you like "Day," you'll hate "Night."
