12.18.09 CLIPS AND PHOTOS FROM BBC’S DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS

And what could be more surprising than the First Batallion Transvestite Brigade? Airborne Wing.

QuietEarth found three clips viewable outside England for BBC’s upcoming miniseries airing on the 28th of this month, a remake of ”Day of the Triffids”.  Here’s the synopsis:

The world is struck blind by a solar storm, and millions of man-eating mobile plants are released to roam Britain.  As an expert on the Triffids, Bill Masen knows that salvation rests in the hands of the father he hates, who mutated the Triffids in the first place to produce a green source of oil that the world craves.

It stars stars Dougray Scott, Joely Richardson, Brian Cox, Vanessa Redgrave, Eddie Izzard, and Jason Priestley.  You can put Scott, Izzard, and Cox into anything and I’ll watch it.  Especially Cox.  Watching Cox is my favorite thing.  I could watch Cox all day.  Yep.  Can’t get enough.  Of that.
