The Day Of The Triffids (1981). John Wyndham's "cosy catastrophe" gets a gritty Cold War survivalist style production by the BBC.
John Duttine is the stoic everyman hero Bill, with the grim task of surviving in a devastated world. Emma Relph and Maurice Colbourne give powerful performances as Jo Playton and Jack Coker respectively, and they come to very different conclusions about the duty towards the blinded population and the necessity of long term survival.
The Triffids in this are nice and chilling: it's hard to make a plant seem terrifying, but with their rattling hissing sound they gave many viewers nightmares.
