Night of the Triffids (Audio Drama)

Written by Simon Clark and originally released as a novel in 2001 to mark the 50th anniversary of John Wyndham's original, 'Night of the Triffids' is the story of David Massen - the son of Bill and Josella - and his misadventures on the island of Manhattan having crash landed his plane during a mysterious blackout on a floating island inhabited by many triffids and one young girl and being rescued by a ship full of Americans who whisk him off across the Atlantic.

The novel was adapted by Big Finish in 2014 with Sam Troughton (grandson of Patrick), Nicola Bryant (Peri Brown, assistant to both the 5th and 6th Doctors) and Paul Clayton taking the leads.  It's a quick and faithful version of a quick and faithful novel which means it suffers from the same problems as the novel - being overly slavish to the source material and with a very poor casting decision at it's heart but it's an entertaining romp and an enjoyable enough way to revisit the world of the Triffids.
