The Day Of The Triffids 29 Episodes
The Day of the Triffids is a chilling science-fiction drama that brings post-apocalyptic terror and human survival to the radio medium. Adapted from the famous novel by John Wyndham, the series is set after a mysterious cosmic event blinds most of Earth’s population, leaving society vulnerable to the rise of the deadly Triffids mobile, venomous plants originally cultivated for their valuable oil. As civilization collapses, the story follows a small group of sighted survivors struggling to stay alive while navigating fear, isolation, and the breakdown of social order.
The Stars
The radio adaptation featured a strong cast of British actors who brought intensity and emotional realism to the drama. Performers portraying Bill Masen and fellow survivors delivered nuanced performances that captured the terror, moral conflict, and desperation of a world suddenly stripped of sight and safety. The ensemble cast helped create an immersive atmosphere of tension and uncertainty throughout the series.

Beyond its monstrous threat, the series explores themes of dependency, cooperation, morality, and what it truly means to rebuild civilization after catastrophe.
