I was invited to this group to chat about The Tripods. I discuss the books, the series, and Chris Jones' wonderful book, among other things. It starts at 36.50 mins (but by all means watch the whole thing). #thetripods #bbc #sciencefiction

#TheTripods part 4 aka Welcolme to the Pleasure Dome
Freddie: You are impressed
Will: Does it show?!
Hadn't realised one of the girls snogging Will and Beanpole is a young Mrs Peter Davison ! #TheTripods

It's comforting to know that at some point in the next 64 years the French will build an identical replica of Portmeirion about ¾ of the way between Paris and Mont Blanc.

Last year I bought a lovely edition of “The Tripods: All For Nothing? The secrets and stories behind the BBC series” by Chris Jones.

Happy 40th anniversary to Series 2 of #TheTripods, which began on Saturday 7th September 1985, at 5:20pm on BBC1. 📺
Book: The Tripods - All For Nothing by Chris Jones. The Secrets and Stories Behind the BBC Series. Cover shows <dramatic fanfare> a Tripod!
Postie been...
After enjoying #TheTripods recently I’ve treated myself to this:
THE TRIPODS: ALL FOR NOTHING? by Chris Jones.
- all about the making of the TV series, full of background info, behind-the-scenes photos, artwork, script pages & lots more.
Looks fabulous!
DVD of the TV series The Tripods. Cover shows Henry, Beanpole and Will, with a Tripod standing behind them menacingly.
Just finished watching THE TRIPODS!
(which I last saw on its original 80s run.)
And I really enjoyed it. The journey of the first series was a lot of fun, with its scrapes & chases. And the second series was fantastic.
#TheTripods
Eagerly looking forward to watching the third series now...
Cover for the dvd box set of the tv series The Tripods.
Now I’ve watched Years 1 & 2 of Space: 1999 I’ll be starting THE TRIPODS soon for my next dive into retro telly.
I haven’t seen this since it first appeared on Saturdays back in 1984/85.
#TheTripods
I remember enjoying it (and the “caps”), but not a lot else. I’m sure it’ll be great though...
Two books- clarkson’s farm and the tripods trilogy
Oooh, which #book shall I #read next? A dystopian nightmare about brainwashed souls trying to battle tyrannical overlords
…or shall I read #TheTripods ?
