Dougray Scott (Desperate Housewives) and Joely Richardson (Nip/Tuck) star in TV2's big-budget mini-series, about a terrifying species of carnivorous plant that comes to life, in The Day of the Triffids.
Scientist Bill Masen (Scott) is the world's foremost authority on an extraordinary plant species known as Triffids.
Genetically modified, the plants are mass-produced for their 'triffoil', a vital source of renewable fuel.
However, Bill has also noticed an unnerving change in their behavioural patterns - the Triffids are starting to communicate.
After a freak electrical storm blinds most of the population of the planet, Masen meets Jo Playton (Richardson) in London, and they battle through the streets of panicked, blind mobs in a city that has descended into chaos.
But a more chilling discovery soon comes to light. The Triffids have escaped from the farms and are making their way towards Britain's towns, where they can find the most abundant food-source - mankind.
Also starring Jason Priestley (Colditz), Eddie Izzard (The Riches), and Vanessa Redgrave (Atonement).
